When it comes to making anything for ourselves, it seems we are our worst critic. I have attempted to come up with some design ideas for our entry sign but am not happy with anything yet.
The house/shop is a 1928 Craftsman, originally I was attempting to tie in the sign design with the house with shape and colors, but am open to suggestions.
Who better to ask than Letterville? I am posting the logo and a few rough concepts. Any and all input will be greatly appreciated.
I'll jump in first and say that I prefer the second version (the one without the script lettering)

I vote second version as well. Classic style.

Second... the first was just outcooling yourself...

Depends on what kind of posts application on #2...posts are a part of the design even if they are just plain...they still frame and help balance a layout.

I'll second the second one.

Jeff...I like the idea of incorporating the craftsman style architecture into the sign design...although not knowing what the house looks like or the colors I threw together a couple of designs...don't know how craftsman these look...I just remember a lot of heavy wood features in the style.

Rusty....You asked me about vector stuff I do....I'd love to know how you do stuff like that background????
Can I call you? Posted by Bruce Bowers (Member # 892) on :
Rusty! Stop! You are killing me!
Very nice stuff. I am impressed.
Posted by Duncan Wilkie (Member # 132) on :
Rusty, I want to build that! Nice presentation.
Posted by Dave Sherby (Member # 698) on :
Rusty you should be cloned so your style can continue through your retirement and beyond.
Posted by David Harding (Member # 108) on :
Style 1 is too disjointed, Style 2 is way better.
Then, drag Rusty to Oregon to help you. Great presentations, Rusty.

WOW! Thanks Rusty, giving me some great ideas. I wish I had that background for me sign setting, looks coastal. I appreciate all the input from everyone. I want a very clean design and I don't want to clutter it up. Now with all of Rusty's ideas I will need to decide on the base I prefer. Sign will be located on a grade, so will take a photo and see what works best. THanks again everyone!
