What is Hand Lettering and
what are the benefits?
Hand Lettering
a chalk board menu
Hand-lettered signs provide that old-school, rustic, historically relevant look and feel that tells the viewer it's genuine, real and hand-crafted.
​40 + years of experience provides the best of old-school sign making and computer-aided design for accurate sign proofing and proposals.​​​​​​​​​​

Since 1985 I have provided hand lettered signs and sign painting services to my clients in the northern Colorado area.
A painted sign provides you with unmatched durability and color retention, especially at our altitude, where UV light is especially brutal.
It's the only option for signs with dark backgrounds, where the sun can raise the temperature of the substrate to the point of melting the vinyl lettering.
Sign paint is the only non-dimensional option that holds up and looks great on any dark-background sign.

I'd be happy to discuss your next project with you... and yes, the rustic signs work great for interior signage - and I can work with you and your designers on incorporating these to work in unison with any required ADA signage.

60 - 90 minutes
Classes Created for...
Graphic Artists
Designers
Architectural Illustrators
Project Managers
Electric Sign Estimators
Learn the art and science of approaching a sign design project from the read-point perspective of the viewer.
Learn the psychographic reasons for proper sign design and how it affects the
functionality, readability and
effectiveness when viewed from a moving car.
What are the optimum letter styles, text heights, color contrasts and layouts to use? And the message...what is it trying to say?... can the sign, with that huge word salad the client asked for, effectively communicate two complete thoughts in 3 seconds?
Fabrication and Tech Files
Designers learn not only the mechanical parts and pieces of electric and architectural signage, but they also learn how to see through solid objects with their mind's-eye, so that shop files and section views become second nature.
Designers take with them the tools and vector-graphic assets that they can use immediately, to use for providing the technical section views discussed in class, for editing as needed, or for use as-is on their design pages... immediately.
