These are only signs – they don’t indicate the success of the company because that is a result of many factors. The signs can be the most public indication of the services and products that are delivered – only the work completed says more about the contractor.
You will notice I don’t have the best photos. Outdoor signs get blasted by rain and dirt – they can’t be too complex.
When these signs are being read, it’s usually only for less than 3 seconds. Your message needs to be very simple, recognizable and easy to understand. Why should a passing drive remember your lawn sign, truck or trailer sign? Keep it simple.

They’ve included a series of photos, however I think they’ve tried to say too much. |

A fair bit of detail, looks good but not very big. The marble graphic gets lost. |
 |
Men In Kilts truck sign
I’m not Scottish so I’m not sure what the benefit is – but the name is memorable. Some of the words, however blend in the tartan background. |

My House lawn sign
Nice and Stylish – Looks like a good designer and not a carpenter’s work. |
 |
Mott Electric van
Been around a long time, don’t need to say much. |

1 lawn sign – name repeated 3 times. |

Nice and stylish. Notice what they are selling. |
 |
