Home Value Realty - $300 - Dec. 4th

[GregPriest]

The reason I ask about how the signs will be made is because if it's vinyl we won't want to use any gradiants, if it's printed then the gradiants could be used.
We can even do two versions; one for web, business cards, letter heads with gradiant drop shadows and one for signs w/ no gradiants.
I might even suggest a gray or dark gray in place of the black.

As a neophyte to all of this, I have no idea what is meant by gradients (sorry, but I went to public schools!) Doing two versions, and defining which version should be used for which purpose, is much appreciated.

Thanks!

Public school here as well and why I can't spell for crap. LOL

anyway a gradiant is where the color or shadow in this case, goes from dark to light or in effect dissapears into the background.

Since you are using vinyl on metal signage you'll want all solid color images w/ difining lines since that is the easiest and most economical way to make a sign.
gradiants or shadows can be done on vinyl. but it costs more since it's like printing on piece of clear or colored vinyl but it doesn't last as long as the other option.
hope that helps.

Daniel:

Thanks for the quick response! Much appreciated.

We would like the word "Value" even a little more yellow. Also, can the shadowing around the words "Home Value Realty" be somehow made to have these words stand out even more? I'm not sure how to accomplish this, and am open to any ideas. This will be placed on a 28" X 30" yard sign, and we really want the words to be easily readable from cars driving by. We like the new background color--thanks!

Greg, look at the small version in the top right corner from previouse version (1.3). Can you see it clear?
People develope immunity to things that are too obvious that do anything to stand out. I think that the more subtle the message is the more attention it will get.

Here's the more obvious version

Thanks for this version. I believe this version reflects the letters as being outlined in black; is there a way to see how it would also look with black shadowing? One of the other submissions did the shadowing, and we like that look, and wanted to compare.

Sorry to get so detailed on this, but this logo and design will be used extensively for a long time, so we want to get it right the first time.

Thank you!
