HI,

Here is a design I finished yesterday. It was done rather quickly as a freebie.

This was the business card logo that was given to me. I took the barn and silo to use on the sign.
-

The name has alot of elements to it. It was a challenge to make it work. I think I may have nailed it [Smile]

-

The one thing I just noticed it the right scroll bracket seemes to be floating. I will fix it on the sign when it gets made and then post a picture of the finished sign.

Thanks for looking [Smile]

Very cool. The sunburst behind the logo gives it some warmth.

That's great, Charles, but you surprised me;
As I gently scrolled down, I was expecting one of your beautiful scripts. [Smile]

Schweet!!

Nice contrast, good line value, and I like that the scrolls don't compete with the copy. I might like to see BILL'S a bit more prominent, but the power of FARM AND FEED leaves no doubt what this business sells.

That is a good looking sign Charles!

Beside the scroll that you mentioned, You might take a look at your arch on the feed and farm. Your bottom of "eed" looks like it could be dropped just a bit to match up with the other side.

Beside being one of the greatest designer, Charles is by far the best lettering artist I know, right in the league of John Stevens and Julian Waters, he simply does'nt want to believe it yet!!

See it by yourself...

Also for those who don't know yet Charles is also the creator of "Sarah Script" font.

Wow, if that's your version of a "quicky farm sign", then I would love to see what you do when you take your time. ha ha

Really sharp design!

Peace,
Bob
