Journal of Design Proofs

Amazon and Paypal Payment Icon

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 truck lettering idea. Let me know what you think.

The first layout is as described in your order. You’ll notice that, at the height requested, the lettering has to be squeezed to fit the 26″ width limit (at normal spacing the sign would be 76″ long at the letter height requested). The second layout uses the 24×26 size as a template and the size requested as a proportional guide. Again, let me know what you think.. 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 1 working day. If you have any questions let me know.

Thanks, Toby

Sign Details given in previous email:
Thank you for the email Toby, We will be removing the stripes and any stickers that are currently on the truck so you can go with the specs that you have. The main concern we have is the lettering on the front doors where their is a small window below. When it was measured before (I don’t have the truck available at his moment to measure) it was 20×15 within the strips. The sleeper portion within the strips starting at the first letter was measured at 15×12. We’ve did not measure the portion on the nose but then again, it will not matter due to the removal of the stripes.
Also, I spoke with the owner and he wanted to make one little change to the information on the door. He wants the telephone number to appear between the name and the city also thestate CA does not need to be referenced at all.
Thanks again for taking the time to get these questions answered.

 

FIRST EMAIL WITH QUESTIONS:

Lynda E. Hello. Thanks again for your order. I’m working on your layout and had one quick question about sizes. It would be good to get an overall size (ie — 12″x24″ or the like) for each area we will be lettering. Not just the letter height of each line,,, since lettering can be surprising longer than expected if this is not figured in. So, is it possible to get the overall size for the door, sleeper, and hood areas where the lettering will be? You can either give the ‘the size to fit within’ or the ‘size you’d like the overall lettering’. So, take a few minutes with a tape measure and let me know what you come up with. If you have any questions let me know. Thanks Toby ps — I do have the specs for this Peterbilt (except for the sleeper length), but you have extra decals that may need to be worked around (it looks like ifta stickers and a stripe on the sleeper and another decal on the door and finally, it would be good to get an overall size for the truck number so it will ‘nest’ well around the stripe).

Hello. Thanks again for your recent order. Attached you will notice a few layouts for your sign idea. Let me know what you think. No extra charge if you select the layout with the ‘drop shadow’.

Keep in mind monitors vary GREATLY in the way they display colors, with metallic silver being impossible. If an exact color match is needed, samples can be mailed right out. Also, another option, we have metal flake silver. Again, we can not represent this on a monitor well. If you have the time, and you’d like to preview these options we can mail samples right out. Either way let me know.

Once we get the final go ahead your sign will mail within 1 working day. If you have any questions let me know.

Thanks, Toby

Hello. Thanks again for your recent order. Attached you will notice a layout for your sign idea. Let me know what you think.

You’ll notice I added the town/state. This is technically required under law (and also looks nice with this layout). Also, I scaled the USDOT to 2″ letter height — again to keep it legal. But, of course, however you like the lettering is fine with me,,, just let me know. Also, attached is a layout without the ‘leased to’ wording as an additional option.

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

Hello. Thanks again for your recent request. Attached you will notice a layout for your truck lettering idea. The truck color was not mentioned, so I went with white � this should work for layout purposes though. Let me know what you think.

The middle layout is according to the design described. The top and bottom layouts offer some different ideas. The top layout comes closer to the size mentioned (12×20). The other layouts only have a height of approx 7″. Again, let me know what you think.
