The handcrafted look is a timeless favorite. Merchants understand that by reminding customers of the small shops found along narrow cobblestone streets in Europe, they are also hinting at the care that went into manufacturing the goods sold there. Whether a service provider or a retailer, this type of look is highly beneficial for any business. Contact us today to learn more about the signage product and to schedule a client consultation. We look forward to showing you how we can transform your company’s name and logo into a marker with a handcrafted appeal.
Handcrafted versus a Machine Look
Many retailers and service providers benefit from the look of handcrafted signs simply because it helps to put shoppers and clients in the right mood. Plastic signs or digital prints can make things feel cold, institutional, or impersonal. Handcrafted signs evoke a feeling of warmth and community. There is something special about this display that resonates with consumers and therefore benefits their bottom line. And luckily, you don’t have to search out a local woodworker; a handcrafted look can easily be manufactured in a signage shop.
What are Your Options?
Look at the sign for Russell Stationers. The sign features wood and fabricated elements. The wood grain is somewhat visible, and the whitewash border beautifully highlights the darker-grained sections. The slightly raised lettering displays a whimsical font that attracts shoppers. Mounted from the ceiling, it is easy to read by pedestrians.
Beautiful Designs
The professionals at Salon Bleu opted for sandblasted wood instead, where the grain of the darker wood is clearly visible. In the shop, we masked off the business name font and allowed the pressurized sand to eat away at the rest of the sign. A dark frame accentuates the white wall to which it is attached, repeats the rail’s color scheme, and is echoed within the sign’s whimsical design elements. The blue lettering mimics the fixture’s color. A similar sign hangs as a shingle from an ornate post. This evokes old-world memories of signage installed by small shops in narrow streets.
