I am redoing the main wall in my showroom and am stumped as how to make an effective appearance. In the sketch I provided, you can see the format as you enter the building with the wall right next to the counter. The other wall is already filled with samples, letters and such so what would all of you suggest to dramatize or improve the appearance? Shop logo seems out of the question since it is well represented elsewhere.
Hi David. If you want to keep it simple, and sign-related, you could make a supergraphic using various letters in a variety of fonts that overlap each other. You could keep this low key by using really light tones within the same color family, or you could really make it punch out by using vibrant colors. Play with this (in scale) in your design program. If you arrive at something you really like, print off a transparency, project it with an overhead, and paint away.
Hope this suggestion helps you out.
PS: I Hope that you and your family have an enjoyable Holiday together, and that you have a prosperous & healthy New Year.

Not a bad idea Ken, as I have done something similar in a digital print a while back with variations on the alphabet. I will play around with that in Corel to see what comes up. Merry Christmas to you and yours also.
Anyone else with ideas?

You might consider using the reference chart on page 54 of December SignCraft. I visited a "one day" store that scanned the image, personalized it a little, paneled it out on an Edge I, and laid it down on a solid substrate.
In that environment (one day), the sign really added to the appearance of professionalism. Made me look! Vic G

Thanks Victor, I will look at that in Signcraft. Somewhat with what Ken suggested I came up with the following idea: Whatcha think?

Bump up.
How about some feedback on Dave's layout? The design and layout discussions at this site are fun to read and very eductional for wannabees (like me).
