Picking The Best Shape For Your Custom Outdoor Sign

It is very important that you choose the right shape for your outdoor sign. Does it look good in its surroundings? can you fit your message on it comfortably? Luckily, it's fairly easy to choose an ideal shape for your outdoor signs.

So how do I choose a shape for my outdoor business signs?

Well, there are three most commonly used sign shapes:

• Horizontal rectangle
• Vertical rectangle
• Perfect square

Let's look a how these shapes are often used:

Rectangular signs are good for fewer words. Outdoor signs that are perfect squares are useful when you want to include several lines of text.

Want to use a more unique shape?

Circles and ovals are also fairly common. You might even want your outdoor signage in the shape of a surfboard or a pair of eyeglasses — a shape that immediately tells your audience what your establishment is, without them even having to read it. (Fun fact: Years ago, all signs were nothing more than shapes. A Cobbler, for example, would hang the silhouette of a shoe on his door. This was because most people could not read.)
