Would like some input on this one

I have to do a window for a repeater. They are supporting me this month in orders. The road is about 100 feet away, and it is the main hwy through Montana. The other issue is there parking is also in front where this goes. Flags on either side of the windows. the letters are about 10 inches tall the over all design is 24 x75". white with a red outline like the rest of there signage.

I am thinking maybe a bit bigger  and getting rid of the borders and butler.

Lose the border, but keep butler

If the whole window's your to do, Do the whole window. Vinyl's cheap and Size+Readability works. 

I would enlarge the butler, create some asymmetry with him to the one side.

Split the 2 lines of text, one at the top the other; bottom.

Loose some of that white. Still 2 color but need to create some Depth or Dimension (stroke, drop shadow).

Tie a new, custom 'Hours of Business' into the design.

Maybe a slightly classier font than the comic sans look.

Give them their Class & Sell up!

 

(sorry, i just started typing and all that just sorta fell out)

This is just in 1 color but demonstrates some of the above critiques.

Oh... except for that drop shadow behind text.

I agree with Scarecrow. Lose the border, keep the butler but use the entire window.

Really like the idea Skarekrow. Now to get a color that will pop out. The windows are always dark like in the pictures even if it is full sunlight. Also forgot to put on there that the window is 57" x 80" wide.

Thanks  for the input.

 

On another note how did you get the sign out of the window Skarekrow?

You might wanna concider the dark colors if that white blind is generally closed.

You can see how it compares to the white vinyl.

(Quick & Sloppy duplicating made your sign go away.)

Just grabbed some empty blind area (dotted box) and duplicated it down the front, over your sign.

most of the time it is up and as dark as the one above my pick up door. They don't like to turn the lights on. will try to get a pic of them open that may help on the colors. starting to like the darker look. Thought of adding some gold highlights.

The letters seem hard to read. Keep the large butler and  start the letters at his legs and make them larger. He would be hanging over some of the letters.

 

Just a thought

This all started over the other second hand store getting a banner like the one below. Bad thing is I do the work for both stores usually. No I did not make or sell that banner. Going to do my first banner this week though.

Thank you everyone for the help they went with this. They also wanted a few words added but they were really happy with it. So much so there is a short long window to the left of it they want me to use it  for free advertising. Nice thing is it is right on the main hwy.

Turned out nice!
