They have finally gone up today: we have been working on these signs for months, and after a last minute colour change for the `white` to Buckskin II on our Colonial Blue background to match the paint cans. We have been so busy these last few months: the signs have sat in the corner waiting for customers orders to be done first.
Ellie was applying the final coat of paint in the shop when a customer asked to buy it! In celebration of the fact we have got them up we also put up some blue spruce boughs, new festoon lights and decorated the shop for Christmas with ivy from the workshop. We’ve made an A board as well.
We were concerned that the signs:
- Read well from across the yard
- Mirrored the image of the livery designed for our paint cans
- Had a 3D dimension. Cutting out the star allows light & skylight to reflect on the walls & through the signs.
I (Tim) think Kathy did an excellent job designing these & that Ellie likewise finished it beautifully, ticking all the boxes above.
It feels like a big step forward: think I would like to have our new van sign written with the same logo next. It is too good to not use.
