Layout

[Jackflush]

What do ya think of this layout? Room for improvments? Borders?

 

[iSign]

some more color maybe?

Like maybe an ivory panel with reverse radius corners around the name, burgundy lettering and an inset pinline border on panel , and maybe an inset ivory border on main panel, fattened up at the bottom to fit the slogan...

...also, can the sign be slightly less tall, to tighten up the line spacing a bit... or wider to give equal breathing room at the sides?

 

[SignManiac]

It looks like you need to keep going on it. All I see is letters on a board. Give it some personality. If you're going to use a shaped panel then take it up a notch instead of a simple arch on the top. How is this sign being made? Is it a wall sign, pole sign, monument sign?

 

[Jackflush]

Thats what it is alright. The sign is already fabricated by them. Thanks for the tips. I like the thin line border idea too. I have to keep workin at it is right. Its clear and readable but no personality.

 

[Jackflush]

They have this already made. Its going between two 4x4 poles of some sort.

 

[SignManiac]

Then your options are limited considerably. Are you limited to vinyl lettering only? is the face wood or acrylic?

Needs more..
Look at your negative space as well.
My eye goes right below the christian school to the negative space.

 

[Jackflush]

Is there a way to go take measurements so as to get that radius perfect without "trial and error 4 times". Cause I really like the way it looks now.

 

[SignManiac]

Here's my five minute take on it.

 

[iSign]

take some paper & crease it over the edge... then return to the shop to figure out the math

 

[iSign]

awww... look at it breath... fresh air!!

 

[Jackflush]

Mine is "stuffed in" for sure after looking at yours. No breathing room like yours. Very well done Sir.

 

[Dave Rowland]

shouldn't it be "Atmosphere is everywhere"

 

[Jackflush]

Thermostat is set by God there, so I suppose it is everything instead of everywhere. You know like how our wives can set the atmosphere anytime they want before we come home. Hot or cold its all up to her. hahhaa

 

[Jackflush]

Very good I have to say. Thanks for letting me borrow your glasses isign

 

[Dave Drane]

The slogan on the bottom just doesn't say the message in that script or the other one you used. Why not stick with Signmaniacs idea.

 

[Jackflush]

I think I fell in love with snappy script. I should probably switch that font. But it is hard to let go!!!!

 

[SignManiac]

Yeah snappy doesn't really work for a religious organization. They tend to be formal and stuffy in general. Font selections can make or break what would normally be a good design.

I do like that your learning by seeing and reading.

1. If possible, lose the "Welcome To" to help simplify the message.
2. Increase border distance from edge.
3. decrease border thickness.
4. decrease Preschool text size.
5. work on negative space a little.
