How To Choose The Most Effective Shape For Your Custom Outdoor Sign

It is very important that you choose the right shape for your outdoor sign. Does it look right in its surroundings? can you fit all of the information you want on it comfortably? Luckily, it's fairly easy to pick an ideal shape for your outdoor business sign.

You might consider one of the three most popular sign shapes:

• Horizontal Rectangle
• Vertical Rectangle
• Perfect Square

Let's look a how these shapes work:

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

Interested in using a more unique shape?

• Perfect Circle
• Oval
• Custom Shape

Circles and ovals are also fairly common. You might even want your outdoor sign in the shape of a coffee mug or a pair of eyeglasses — a shape that immediately tells your audience what your establishment is, without them even having to read anything.

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 were unable to read at all.
