Now you've done it Rusty. How can anyone choose the best one when they are ALL the best. The only way is eeny, meeny, miny, moe, or rock paper scissors lizard Spock.

Looks to me like somebody has enough already of being retired.
Ever given any thought of putting together a design seminar and traveling around like Mr.Butler? Seems like a helluva lot of talent, skill and more talent to waste it away playing checkers and watchin' soap operas.

I know it's not your customer, but just to add to the conversation, I would suggest just the street number. Nobody is going to call if they are out front and the biz is not open..even WITH the dam cellphones. And they are going to be looking for the street number. Assuming that they realized what street they were on when they turned onto it...and so the number can be 3 or 4 times as big and easier to spot from a moving car.
I've had people insist on the telephone number, just like everybody else. But never really saw the point. Maybe I'm just dense.

Don...you are right on point again...and if you are dense then so am I...well I guess that could be a possibility...I think the only time I put a street name and number on a sign was because it worked out as part of the design...it was in some scroll work and served more as a decorative ornament than anything else...I also see no sense in phone numbers as well...I know there are exceptions...real estate comes to mind...but for the few seconds a sign has the attention of a driver...who looks for the phone number and then grabs for a pencil and paper while driving...come to think of it my ex wife could do something like that...she is the only person I've ever known who got "flipped off" by a UPS driver while stopped at a red light...Lord knows what she must have done back up the road.

Two of the new designs are based off this entrance sign I did several years ago...spanning the main sign across the sign posts worked pretty good on this one...gave a lot of extra depth and shadow...just for kicks one could make more designs using only 2 6x6's like pictured below...but time to call it quits on this one.

Okay, I like the one on the bottom, the last one. But I'd like it with 23K letters for the words "Big Creek Winery"
