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 find a layout for your magnetic sign idea (on a dark blue and gray background). Also, attached is a closeup of the monogram logo (AAC). The layout is for a 10×24. 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. If you have any ideas, changes, or suggestions let me know and I’ll send another layout.
If you have any questions let me know.
Once we get the final ‘go ahead’ your signs will mail within 1 working day.
Thanks

Keep in mind monitors vary GREATLY in the way they display colors. For instance ‘red’ can appear from burgundy’s to ‘tomato red’ all depending on the monitors. If an exact color match is needed let me know and samples can be mailed right out.

yard sign layout (Signs come with black metal frame, so added border is not needed and would be a bit cluttered. Black trim represents metal frame)

Hello. Thanks again for your recent order. Attached you will find a layout for your truck lettering idea. Let me know what you think.

After talking with you on the phone, I’d thought I mention information about the ‘background’ – in this case ‘orange’. Check out this link: http://www.signspecialist.com/faqpublisher/faqpublisher.cgi?id=237
If you have any ideas, changes, or suggestions let me know and I’ll send another layout.
Once we have the final ‘go ahead’ your truck lettering will mail within 1 working day.

Hello.
Thanks again for your recent order. Sorry I missed you the last couple mornings. My design time has been scheduled for the afternoons the last few days. Attached you will find a layout for your truck lettering idea. Let me know what you think.
Keep in mind monitors vary GREATLY in the way they display colors. For instance ‘red’ can appear from burgundy’s to ‘tomato red’ all depending on the monitors. Chrome and reflective is impossible. If an exact color match is needed let me know and samples can be mailed right out. However, for layout purposes, the attached should work nicely.
If you have any ideas, changes, or suggestions let me know and I’ll send another layout. Also, it would be good to double check the size you need (or the size of the door the lettering will fit). Keep in mind some freightliners have a window on the door of the passenger side that may need to be incorporated around.
Also a note about chrome: http://www.signspecialist.com/faqpublisher/faqpublisher.cgi?id=207 (keep it waxed and you’ll have no problems). You mentioned a speciality chrome – diamond pattern. The only diamond plate chome has a very huge printed diamond plate pattern. Because of this, in smaller lettering (like truck lettering) it is just plain ugly. The pattern can not be recognized because the lettering is not big enough – instead the chrome just looks splotchy. Even on bigger lettering, it just doesnt look that good. It sounded like a good idea to me also (diamond plate chrome), but I – and no one I’ve used it for has liked it. There is another ‘chrome’ that reflects light into prizms. However, the only pattern available in this style does not have good durability – 2 years with monthly waxing – 6 months with no waxing.
So I don’t recommend this either – but it also is an option.
