Design & Price: Monument sign

In every issue, SignCraft gives a few sign makers an imaginary project. We ask them to do a sketch of the sign they might have produced, and to quote a price for the job. Most of the details are left to the designer’s imagination. The object is to see how different sign makers approach the same project. Here’s the scenario these sign makers were given:

Board members from a nearby mobile home park stop by to discuss a new sign for their entry. The existing sign has standard formed plastic letters mounted on tongue-and-groove siding, and they want to update their image. They are unsure of their budget at this point and want a concept and pricing to present to the rest of the board. The sign code limits them to 32-sq.-ft. per side, as it is in a residential area. The sign sits along a suburban two-lane road.
