1 vote per category and a vote for the over-all best sign for the month. And comments please.
I've added,where possible, details of the medium used because some signs don't really show how they are done.
Lots of entries in the first catergory. Wish I had the market here to try some of this stuff. Hope you peoples are getting fair money for the time and effort you put into some of these.

There'a another great crop of work to choose from this month once again!
A4 I'll be this sign is much more impressive in real than it is the photograph. I like the way the elements work together. Nice job on the bird carving!
B3 I love the use of the bright colors in this sign... unusial especially for a church sign!
C6 Having done over a hundred murals myself I know what it takes to pull one of these off! The curved surfaces make the job even harder! I'd love to see closeups of these huge pieces!
D6 This truck is fabulous! The colors work well together. Lots of eye candy to look at!
Overall it would have to be D6!
Congratulations to all who entered!

Overall D6 because it's taken a different from normal train of thought in the design. There's some really nice work there!

A6 - easy to read, excellent representation of the business it advertises
B3 - bright, cheerful, choice of colors makes the different messages really stand out in priority
C2 - I love the flow, the choice of colors and seperations of copy. I also like how the main copy ties to the graphic, but with the brighter highlights, stands out more. Close runner-up was C5.
D6 - eye catching, great colors. Not really sure I want to vote for this as far as a sign related truck job, but more for artwork.
Definately C2 overall, especially from a sign design/layout perspective.
