I have a customer who has a problem with people parking in front of the garage door of his business. He wants me to letter something humorous on it, "No Parking,__________"
....suggestions anyone? [Big Grin]

I did one 2 weeks ago that came to me as a similar request. I think we went with something like:

PARKING CITATIONS AVAILABLE!!
O N L Y $60
FOR MORE INFORMATION
SEE RESERVED BUS PARKING
ACROSS THE STREET

I called and e-mailed these to the owner. THANKS, all! [Applause] Now we just need to decide which one. The owner had an idea too....something about Mickey Mouse and him extending a finger?... [Wink]
I don't want to get into problems with Disney so I think we will pass on that one!
Keep 'em coming! These are great! [Big Grin]

I once saw a tombstone in front of a business with the legend: "Here lies the last salesman who parked in Wayne's spot".

A friend has a sign reading, in descending size of copy for each successive line:

"Unauthorized Vehicles
Will be Towed Away
and Crushed Into
a Tiny Cube"

There is a little tiny square at the bottom of the sign.

Graphic with a mean lookin' dude with a sledge hammer over his shoulder with the quote "please park here I need to work out some aggression"

Or how 'bout...

"Please don't park here, I just failed my anger management course."

will be
Disassembled
and sold as parts!

A looooooooong time ago we made one with the Batman emblem on it and copy that read BATCAVE ENTRANCE....DO NOT BLOCK.

Client said it worked just fine. People would read it, smile, get back in there car and move.

I'd mix up some white tempra color, and splatter it liberally within and around the parking spot in question. Then put up a sign that reads:
CAUTION: Bird**** Target Area. This zone is a designated wildlife practice area, and vehicles parked here will be shat upon from various heights!

If some unbeliever should chance to park there, splatter his car & windshield with more of that same tempra white. Guaranteed they'll never repeat the offence. [Wink]

No parking, violators will be persecuted.

No parking, violators will be violated.

Please don't park here, we don't like calling the tow truck.
