Sign of the Times

What could be more impressive in graphic design than the many illuminated advertisings at night. In Hong Kong they are even a kind of tourist attraction.

Today I found an article in the web that in Cincinnati exists the American Sign Museum. It opened in 2005 as an non-profit museum and shows an selection of the 300 signs. About 2,000 people visit annually. The response has been good enough that the museum will open in a new site late this year or in early 2009. The new property will initially more than triple the current space and provide 28-foot-high ceilings to accommodate larger signs.

Custom Sign said...

The first impression is the last impression. It is always the first impression of your business that one makes on a guest that goes far to decide whether you’ll change over them to dedicated clients. One of the best ways to establish that first impression is through Custom Sign that your business uses for branding or advertising and promotional goals.

Creating a brand involves a lot of visual elements, and your new custom sign is going to play a key role in developing yours. Having the right colors, font, logo, material and print can create a powerful sign that resonates with customers.
