Journal of Design Proofs
How does the design process work when you order a sign from SignSpecialist.com? Below you will find our running journal of designs and sign specifications for Magnetic Signs, Banners, Yard Signs, Metal Signs, Temporary Signs, and Truck Lettering. These are actual orders from previous customers.
Our journal is updated daily with new designs. We only post in our journal the initial layout designed to the customers specifications. By the time the sign goes in production, many times, the design has changed dramatically from the initial proof you'll see below. Such is the nature of the design process. Never-the-less, this should give you a good feel as to how we and our customers design custom sign orders. If you have any questions, as usual, let us know - we'll be glad to help.

Hello. Thanks again for your recent order. Attached you will notice a layout for your sign idea. Let me know what you think. Arching just 3 letters is hard to do. The tighter the arch, the less you tell it was arched… instead it would just look like 3 randomly placed letters. The slight arch gives little negative space with just 3 letters. You’ll notice 2 layouts with arched options. And also an option with a little ‘pop’.
Keep in mind monitors vary GREATLY in the way they display colors. If an exact color match is needed, samples can be mailed right out. Once we get the final go ahead your signs will mail within 2 working days. If you have any questions let me know.
Thanks, Toby
Sign Details: Type of Lettering Custom Truck Lettering; Size 24″ wide x 12″ tall Colors Navy; Desired Fonts and Text I like the Wide Glide font. We would like “T & J” arched over “TRANSPORTATION” in a larger font and “CA # 0346225” underneath that in a plainer; smaller font. We also need a smaller matching set of these for a tractor. We definitely want the navy blue; but am open to adding another color if you think. This is going on a white door; so we want something easy to read and that pops.
