Personalized
signs come in all shapes, sizes and forms and they also have different
functions. "Joe's Roadside Sport's Tavern" and "Sarah's Delicious
Blueberry Pies" are generally more memorable and useful for a home
decorator or business owner than "Tavern" or "Kitchen". To customize
your business or brand onto a sign is seen as more thought out and
professional. They can also make great gag gifts or humorous wall
ornaments.
Custom personalized signs can be sports themes, fishing and nautical
themes, travel themes, vacation spots, road sign themes, biker themes,
military, office, hobbies, legal, medical, funny, entertainment, men and
women, organizations, clubs. The list can go on and on. They can be
displayed in bars, pubs, restaurants, coffee houses, smoking parlors,
kitchens, bedrooms, basements, gardens, businesses, and offices.
Custom
signs are different shapes, sizes and materials. They can be as small
as a foot and as large as a billboard. Many sign shapes are traditional
rectangles and circles, but many are shaped as stop signs or street
signs and depend largely on their message. Victorian era and earlier
signs tend to be more customized in shape and hand-written in cursive
fonts. Bar and sports signs tend to be flashier and brighter whereas
"Bill's Gone Fishing" is going to be best with a relaxed font and a
plain image. Personalized signs can be made of various materials
including metal, neon, wood, and plastic. Thin metal and plastic signs
tend to be cheaper and easier to make with machines, while wood signs
can be handcrafted on beautiful and exotic woods with routers and hand
tools. Attention grabbing custom neon signs are usually more involved to
make but can still be relatively inexpensive.
As great and as
funny a personalized sign can be, don't overlook their effectiveness as a
marketing tool. You can convey your business message effectively with
even just a one-line message under your brand. The principles of sign
marketing still apply with custom signs. Attention grabbing and message
conveying at a glance.
