This is a large sign I am putting finishing touches on...I am wondering about trimming the sign perimeter with a thin line of green paint or leaving it as is.
Any experienced sign makers out there have a suggestion???
There is a yard stick at the bottom of the sign for size reference.

I say without the line. It looks good just the way it is!

Or gold goes very nice with that green. Good job!

Hi Rick,

Good to see ya.

Not a professional but I was thinking green background and gold letters. That always looks classy but you are pretty far along...

I probably would outline it in green. It just helps to frame the sign in my opinion.

I would also go with dark green. Capt Barry

I worked as a gtaphic artist at two different sign shops. Most of the signs we did had some sort of border around them.

Green line will help frame the sign.......

I wouldn't change a thing. You have achieved an elegant design. In my humble opinion, I would let the signs' shape border the text. Keep it simple. It looks really nice.

Looks great, I know the place the sign is for and I think it is going to look just beautiful the way it is or if you want to outline it. I think that either way it will be a real asset.

Rick,

Really looks nice-how about a photo when it is in place?

What is the Font you used for Cedarhust and which bit if you don't mine.

My wife saw the sign and loves the Cedarhust font.

Much less time to ask then run down the font. Again if you do not mine.

Keep up the great work.
