A sign is read from the street, from a car and from across the pavement. Your name and trade, large letters and strong contrast matter most. The wizard keeps the text to what can really be read from a distance.
We design shop signs, office and practice plaques, entrance signs, fence boards and lightbox faces. Choose a ready size or enter the size of your façade.

You can also enter a custom size in mm or cm, portrait or landscape. Measure the mounting area and enter the size. The most legible signs have a short name and strong contrast.
How big should the letters on a sign be?
A simple rule: every centimetre of letter height gives about 3–4 metres of readability. A business name read from the street should be at least 10–15 cm tall, and a phone number on a door plaque 4–6 cm. Avoid thin typefaces and light letters on a light background.

Frequently asked questions
How much does a shop sign design cost?
With us €12 incl. VAT for one design, €24 for three and €35 for six. The price does not depend on the size of the sign.
Is the file suitable for making the sign?
You get a PDF in the chosen size with bleed and a PNG. For cut letters and lightboxes sign makers usually need your logo as vectors, so it helps to have it as SVG or PDF.
Which sign size should I choose?
Measure the space on your façade and enter a custom size, or choose 120 × 40 cm above the entrance, 100 × 50 cm for a fence or 60 × 40 cm for a plaque by the door.
