Quick design. Watcha think?

[showcase 66]

I met with an accountant to do his sign and he gave me what he wanted on the sign. No logo. Doesnt want one and he wanted burgundy and green lettering.

This is what I came up with really quick.

Better check yer spellin'! (Accountant)

The name is crowding the edges, the bottom type needs to be a bit smaller and a bit more tracking, and what's an ACCOUNTAT?

 

[Jillbeans]

That's a lot of stuff crammed right to the edges all in kind of hard to read thinnish lettering.
Try his name in caps and lower case and the accountant part in caps.

Yes I saw the spelling error as soon as it came up and fixed it.

I was thinking the same thing on the crowding.

He said his name had to be ALL CAPS. That is how he has his business cards and wants it like that on the sign. I suggested the Cap style but the "HWV" being larger so it looked like it was lower case but he said no, ALL CAPS.

I'm only suggesting a way to keep all caps and still look more legible. Just because I didn't do anything to the rest of your sign has no bearing on how I feel about it. I too, think it's very crowded and needs some help.

Something in this order with a little more breathing room. I don't really care for his choice of colors. Tough to work with and not look like an Italian flag or Christmas decoration.

Also don't think the street name is necessary. If they don't know what road they're on, then they won't find his place anyway.

Thanks for the input.
Gino: that is what I was thinking for the text but he didn't like the idea.
Signmaniac: really like your layout as usual. Good point about the address. Going to take another look at it a litte later when I have more time.

Maniac hits a home run again!

I just love the Signs 101 School of Design....

You say he wants his name in all caps because it's that way on his business card...
Perhaps this would be a good opportunity for him to change up his cards as well.

Design a sign that rocks and make the cards rock the new design too.

all caps for name

Now you know how I feel about accountants.
