Got contacted by a local department to do them a new sign, they wanted to spiff things up before they hosted the fire convention, which happens to be during their 50th anniversary.
The before... Yes, that is regular lumber-yard grade plywood. It says PDVFD (those are Ds not Os)
Told them what I wanted to do & they loved it, although they wanted to go 6x6 and I just wasn't happy with seaming it, the seam bugs me like you wouldn't believe.
They wouldn't go for the hand laid gold but I think the signgold looks wonderful against the deep purple.

Hey Kissy, can I add some comments that differ?
The emblem looks good in the close up photos, but from back at the road I can't read it. I don't see Plumville or fire department, which seems like the important message. I do understand that everyone ther knows what it is, but I think something needs to stand out more. Personally, I like to put the emphasis on "VOLUNTEER" because they give so much to the community.

Rick, I could read it when standing on the road taking the picts, just doesn't show up real well when the picts are so small on here. I didn't want to put the "district" on there, makes it real crowded, but they insisted.
