What do you need to consider before you buy a sign?
You have to decide whether your sign is permanent or temporary—indoor or outdoor. Will the sign be illuminated? Do you need specific colors? You also need to choose a material for your sign (PVC, foam board, metal etc.)and you need to think about what’s most important to communicate, for example, your product or service, phone number, company name and/or logo.
Of course our team here at Signs 330 are here to give support but here are some tips to follow when designing your sign:
-choose typeface that is easy to read
-use contrasting colors
-dark colors should be used on light backgrounds
-light colors should be used on dark backgrounds

-use of yellows and fluorescents will stimulate feelings
-blues and greens will send a soothing message
