Sign Studio LA is Proud to Be One of Gemini’s Top Dealers in Ca

Great signage is one of the best ways to maximize your marketing dollars; they can literally be placed anywhere and create thousands of impressions throughout the day. The key to successful signage, however, is what types of impressions they make on your customers.

Gemini Metal Letters

The four keys to successful signage are conspicuousness, visibility, legibility, and clarity. Combining all of these elements is not a simple process; that is why you need the help of a professional sign company. The Sign Studio is one of Gemini's top sign dealers in California. Here is how they can help you:

Conspicuousness

If your sign cannot be seen, then it is useless, because nobody will know that it exists (that is why you don't lock it away in a warehouse). It is for this reason that you need to make them as conspicuous as possible.

The Sign Studio helps you with this by assisting you with the optimal placement, sizing and setting of your signage.

Visibility

Before your sign can make an impression, your consumers have to take notice of it. In order for that to happen, its graphics and styles have to be as visible as possible. Boldness, color contrast and captivating imagery are all factors in this. Knowing exactly what elements to choose and how to assemble them is not a simple process; people's minds respond differently to varying types of colors and shapes. This includes illuminated, plastic and metal lettering to fit all types of design styles. All of their lettering materials are high quality Gemini Sign Letter Products.

The Sign Studio has a full service graphic design studio that crafts signs with maximum boldness, full digital color graphics and the right shapes to draw your customers in.

Clarity

You post your sign with the intention of sending a specific message to people. In order to get that message across, what your sign says must be clear and concise. If it is not, then potential customers will be confused, lose interest and move on. After this, they are not likely to look at your signs with anything more than a fleeting thought, regardless of how captivating the graphics are.

The Sign Studio also has your back in this regard. If you do not already have a clear message in mind, then The Sign Studio's team of highly skilled graphic designers will work with your marketing team to come up with a signage worthy message to suit your needs.

Legibility

A message is only as good as its readability. If your wording is not legible, then people will not be able to read that wonderful message that you spent so much time creating.

The Sign Studio greatly understands the importance of legibility for optimum signage. To accommodate this need, they provide a vast array of easily readable acrylic letters, dimensional letters, metal letters, fabricated letters and other types of lettering. They also only work with the best brands in letter production, always keeping Gemini Sign Letter Products in stock.

Burbank Signs | What Size Sign Letters Do I Need?

Posted by Julie and Chris Ramirez on Thu, Jan 20, 2011 @ 08:01 AM

HOW BIG SHOULD I MAKE MY SIGN LETTERS 

Lettering size is an important part of sign making because you will need to be sure that your clients can read your message from a distance. Whether it’s storefront window graphics, a banner, or vehicle graphics, make sure that you can read the lettering and logo contained in your message. To maximize readability the standard is that each inch of letter height represents 10 feet of readable distance, meaning that for a sign to be readable from a 30 foot distance the letters should be at least 3 inches tall.

Interior signs that are being read by customers in a retail store environment need only be an inch or two tall, while an overhead exterior banner being read from a nearby street or highway would need much larger letters in order to be seen from a distance. Also, font selection will play an important role as some fonts are thin and script like, while bolder fonts and capitalization (with appropriate spacing) can improve readability. Trying to skimp or economize by using a smaller lettering size is definitely not a wise decision. See The Sign Studio’s Legibility/Readability chart below for an example assuming Helvetica upper case black lettering on a white background.
