SIZE & POSITIONING

The effectiveness of any sign is dependent upon several key factors including: Shape, Size, Font, Color, Letter Spacing, Wording,Complexity, Purpose and Placement. Height is important to minimize obstructions.

VISIBILITY

The best head insert conveys a simple and singular message that can be seen at the longest distance from the viewer as possible

POSITIONING

Place to maximize the convenience for the largest group of desired viewers, not that of the installer. Factor in speed and angle…plus the size and location of the crowd.
