Add
custom wording to your signs by following these simple
steps:
1. In the form at right, type text as you want it to
appear. LetterBank's Art Department will set it for you
and produce your sign.
2. If you have more than 50 characters (about eight
words), there will be an extra charge. Note that wordy
signs (except for menus) tend not to be read as much as
brief, to-the-point signs.
3. If you want a proof, it will be created for you and
posted on a special section of our site for you to
inspect. You are notified by email and given a link when
your proof is ready. Once we receive your approval, we
will proceed with your sign order.
4. If you want artwork, either original or your own,
please read what we need to receive electronically here: Your
Artwork.
Or send camera-ready artwork by courier or mail to LetterBank.

Charge
for more than 50 characters is based on the total number
of words in your sign. This is for individual signs only,
not for screenprinted signs.
Count the number of characters (letters and numbers, not
normal punctuation), then click the circle that applies.
Count only ONE SIDE of the sign.
Your order will reflect cost of options selected.
For
more effective signs:
Tests show conclusively that ALL CAPITAL wording is much
more difficult to read than upper and lowercase wording
(Capitals and small letters).
Choose a high contrast color. Although signs can be more
attractive with subtle contrasts and fine line
typestyles, tests show that high-contrast signs with
gothic typestyles (consistent stroke on the letter
"stems") make a more eye-catching display. If you have a
bright red color for your text, use white for your
background. Dark blue lettering? Use a yellow or white
background.
Stay away from "Decorative" typestyles if your sign is
designed to be read. Most decorative and trendy styles
are designed as "Headlines" for single or two-word (very
large words!) headings.
Stick to one point. Pretend you have only one chance to
"shout" a benefit or statement to potential clients- What
would it be? A phone number? That's no good, since they
don't know what you do. Your name? Not unless it is a
nationally recognized name brand, like "Nike". Stick to a
single "benefit" when you write your sign, and it will be
more successful in drawing attention to you.
