The Importance of Word and Color Selection for Outdoor Signs

Another custom shopping mall sign from Dave’s Signs.

Outdoor signs are basically made up words and colors. However, the kinds of colors and words you use (and the arrangement) can make all the difference in the world. Dave’s Signs, your sign professionals, can provide you with the perfect blend of color schemes and fonts, and this can often spell the difference between success and failure.

The Value of Contrast

We often take advantage of something as simple as contrast, to greatly improve a business sign. Contrast is all about the color differences between words and their backgrounds. For example, lightly colored words work best against darker backgrounds, yet not all outdoor signs have to be black and white. Our professional business sign designersuse subtle contrast strategies to provide eye appeal and instant recognition.

Do You Really Need Fancy Fonts?

Fancy fonts provide a unique appeal. Yet, they may not be the best choice when you need very large outdoor signs. In fact, elaborate lettering can sometimes be difficult to read from a considerable distance. It can be hard to decide what type of lettering to use and this is where our expertise as professional sign designers can be of great help.

Dave’s Signs designs, builds, installs restaurant signs serving Ventura, Santa Barbara and Los Angeles counties.

 

What Do You Want to Say?

Most successful outdoor signs have very few words in them. In fact, the fewer words the better, so you can get straight to the point. But what do you say with those few words? Dave’s Signs will help you choose the right words, and the perfect way to make your words stand out.

Background Choices

Do you want a bright and colorful background, or would something simple be more sophisticated? It can be very difficult to choose a background and you may only need to go with one color. As your professional sign designers we understand the importance of legibility and will work with you to come up with a background which is an integral part of your sign. We take many things into account, like the environment and the color of your building exterior.

Dave’s Signs designed, built and installed this storefront sign for Boot Barn in Oxnard, CA.
