How Big Should Lettering Be on My Outdoor Business Signs?

Outdoor business signs are a vital component of any marketing strategy. They can help attract new customers and keep them coming back.

Readability is a key factor when deciding on sign size and lettering. It’s important to consider how far away a person can see your sign and if it will be readable when they are driving by or walking by it.

Readability

Sign readability is an important part of a sign’s overall effectiveness. It’s how well your sign can be seen by people driving or walking by, and it depends on a number of factors.

The size of your lettering is a major factor in how easy it is for someone to read your business sign. The font you choose, the colors you use and the contrast between them all play a role in how easily your message can be interpreted.

For example, it’s best to avoid using all caps and mixed case letters because they can be more difficult to read from a distance.

It’s also best to keep your lettering short and simple because viewers have only a limited amount of time to absorb your message. You can make your message shorter by using fewer words, adding an image or a contrasting color to call out your information.

Size

Size is one of the most important factors to consider when choosing the proper lettering for your outdoor business signs. It determines how far your sign can be viewed and whether or not people will be able to read it.

The length of the text on your outdoor sign will also affect its readability. Generally, shorter text is easier to read from a distance than longer text.

Font style is another factor to consider when deciding on the best lettering for your business signs. Serifed styles tend to be easier to read from a distance, while non-serifed styles can be more difficult to read.

Other considerations when choosing the right size for your business sign include how it is positioned, where it is located, and how many times it is viewed per day. Ultimately, the right size for your outdoor business signs will ensure that potential customers are able to recognize your brand and remember it when they are ready to buy your products or services.

Material

When you are choosing the right material for your outdoor business sign, it is important to consider a variety of factors. These factors include weather conditions, maintenance, and your budget.

Outdoor signs should be made of a durable material that will hold up to the elements and resist damage from UV rays. This includes materials that are resistant to rain, heat, and snow.

For example, aluminum is a popular option for outdoor signs because it is lightweight, sturdy, and doesn’t rust or fade. It is also eco-friendly, as it can be recycled when you replace your signs.

Another material that is often used for outdoor business signage is PVC. This synthetic plastic polymer is a great alternative to wood and requires little maintenance to maintain its attractive appearance.

Design

Design isn’t the only consideration when it comes to choosing the right lettering size for your outdoor business sign. It is important to consider font color and type as well.

Creating an eye-catching, high-quality sign is crucial for your brand’s success. The wrong font or color can make your sign look clunky and unprofessional.

You want to choose a font that is easy to read and will stand out from the rest of the landscape. In addition, you want to keep the text and graphics as clean and simple as possible.

Typically, experts recommend adding one inch of letter height for every 10 feet of viewing distance from the sign. This ensures that your sign will be seen from a long distance without causing the letters to blend in with the background.

I have been networking with Sol and team for awhile now. Their knowledge and expertise is like no other. I will be using Sol and team for all future signage projects moving forward!

We used Solomon’s company to make some event signs for us. When I say his work, communication, product and ease of the process was phenomenal is an understatement. I can’t recommend him enough for all your event signs, indoor and outdoor signs and car wraps and everything in between. No project is too small or too big to handle for him and he goes above and beyond for his clients. He is amazing to work with and very professional and outstanding customer service.

Francisco Emperador

I work for a National roofing company named CentiMark. My Ops Manager wanted a vinyl indoor logo sign. SOL did not disappoint! We absolutely LOVE IT! Donald, who put up the sign was very polite and friendly as will as Solomon. He was very careful by measuring the sign where we wanted it and did not put on until it was perfect. It was a pleasure to do business with this company and we would recommend them to anyone looking for signage. I wish I could give more than 5 stars!
