Job Site Signs
Just for interest, lets see some job site signs from our members, and how creative we are. This picture is a current job site, and I don't mind the other signs. Thoughts?

Re: Job Site Signs
This sign must be 15 years old, - - I don't really use them anymore (probably should though), - - but as you can see, it matches my overall color scheme.
I only do roofing and siding anymore for regular customers, or to follow my own work . . .

Re: Job Site Signs
did you intentionally set your sign 4" higher than the subs 'Ladwig'? It makes sense.

Re: Job Site Signs
These signs are 48" x 36" . A little hefty to haul around, but they do a nice job of advertising for us. Used the same concept for 33 years.

Re: Job Site SignsQuote:
You might be on to something there, perhaps a new slogan...."Thinking about a new room? Find out 'W. A. Z. up' at 1-800.....! " I'm sure somebody can improve on that... |

Re: Job Site Signs
The most important thing to do when you design a sign is to make sure the logo is not too difficult to read, visability is super important! So make sure that if it is a job sign that you can see clearly you name and phone number, the text size should be at least 3".
Also the biggest mistake contractors make on signage is WHERE they post the signs. If it is in someones yard then make sure it can be seen by passerbys from all directions (not hidden behind a tree or the stake is too low) and if it is on your truck.. make sure your name and phone number are easy to read (no weird fonts or colors) and on the rear is a MUST. Hope this helps you guys!! |

Re: Job Site Signs
All yard signs should be KISS.

I hate getting a card from someone that looks like it could be a 5 page brochure.

Re: Job Site Signs
That's about as boring as my card looks I really need to design a simple yet nice logo like 480Sparky has. I never really thought about making or putting up signs...
