[$25] Sign Contest, Simplistic Text, no design work

    Hi, I am creating a a sign for a business. The sign will be outdoors and will be 10 ft wide and 5 ft tall.

    The business is a storage business called Cloud Springs Storage

    Details included will be
    Name: Cloud Springs Storage
    Phone number: 706-406-4116
    Website: cloudspringsstorage.com
    Address block: 2862

    I am attaching an image of one design from the sign company, which looks decent, but doesn't quite catch your eye enough from the road.

    I would like to see some different background colors, and would also like to see the color of the text broken up a little, so the name, phone, and website are different colors and are easy to pick out and read while driving past this sign.

    I look forward to your input, and will try to provide feedback ASAP. I will pay via paypal

    Thanks for everyone's input so far.

    There are a couple things I need to clarify. The sign will need to include the website url. This will be an outdoor sign along a busy highway, so the sign needs to very clear, and easy to read. Gradients will not work on the sign, as they dont work well for outdoor signage.

    I think I only want the street number on the sign, and not the full street address, so 2862 vice 2862 cloud springs road

    Thanks for the input, can you submit a version without any gradients, and all block lettering.

    I dont like the arrows on the one. On the BW one can you make there less lines, increase the visibility of the message

    Can you remove the gradients, and switch to block lettering

    I like this. Can you increase the size of storage, and get rid of rthe gradient in the bg. Also increase the font size on the phone and url to be a little more visible

    can you include the url

    This looks good, can you get rid of the full street address, and also make Cloud Springs a little clearer, less decoration on the lettering
