I just got the opportunity to redo some signs for an orthopedics office and their rehab facility. This is my first time doing several things. The Palmetto sign is 4x8 DS Everwood with gold leaf(first paying job). The Physicians Health & Rehab is 6x8 DS Everwood. First time I've ever joined pieces together. I don't know who sold the original signs, but the were individual plastic letters that would never stay on. They had their own logos already for these projects. Please let me know of any things that need to be changed. I value all opinions-positive or negative
I e-mailed Judy Pate the photos to post them for me. Thanks, Judy

Wow Donald! I gotta say that first sign looks like something you'd see at the creepy insane asylum in a horror flick!!! It's got to have improved their image by 1000%!!!

Donald, ya did good kid. The Palmetto sign is outstanding. The only things I would have done with the Physician's sign would have been to lower the circular element at the top, possibly even making it an add-on, to hide the "seam". And I would have left a bit more space around the top line of lettering. But overall, each new sign is way above and beyond the existing ones! Love....Jill

Hi Donald, I really like the Palmetto sign. Did you do the logo design, too? It's nice.
On the Physicians sign I would have liked to see some of Mike Steven's design principles applied, but you sure raised the bar a thousand times anyway They should be very happy.
What the hell is a "hysician" and why did 105 of them park there? Is this like McDonald's...billions served? Was John Griz among them? He's been reported missing from the office.
Much more betterer than before, Donald! Rapid

Was there something wrong with the first ones? I don't get it. In Laurens, S.C. those first signs fit right in. Just kidding Donald. You have surely come along way. Hope your enjoying your vacation. Tell Mickie I said hey! P.S. next you gotta have the sushi. See ya.

Donald a great improvement over the originals. Only suggestions I have were already stated above. Keep on challenging yourself as you have and you will be selling many more nice jobs like these.

Nice work Donald. Like the other s above I would drop the circle logo on the second one... possibly making it a bit larger to balance the bottom.
Nice contrast from the originals. THe clients must be very happy!

Thanks for all of the comments It is amazing how different something looks in the shop versus hanging in place. I can definitely see that the circle logo needs to be either larger or dropped down. I will remember that next time. I am really hoping that the gold leaf logo will be a selling point for us soon.

They should be very happy.
