Anymore, people want to see the “hand of the artist” at work. That is, they appreciate the human skills that craft a work of art. Currently, this includes well-designed, hand-crafted signs. We like to call it, “communication art”.
Good design = a lasting impression
Naturally, we believe all signs should have good design. Also, we think they should have artistic value and sound construction. Ideally, we believe signs should communicate messages at a glance.
Above all, signs should make a lasting impression. Even a simple residence sign (see above photo) is worthy of hand-carved skill and gold leaf beauty. The photo shows the hand of the sign artist preparing a hand-crafted sign for gold leaf.
Hand-crafted beauty wins every time
Clearly, the merit of any sign is its appeal. Specifically, is it attractive and interesting? Importantly, does the artist’s technique help the design? Last, is it sturdy and well built? When it comes to specialty signs, a beautiful sign wins every time.
Is a hand-crafted, gold leaf sign right for you?
In our experience, ranches, residences, restaurants, boutiques, golf courses, dentists, professional offices, and clinics, all prefer hand-crafted, gold leaf signs. Usually, these signs feature more than just names. They also should show identity and individuality. To accomplish this, we use fonts, illustrations, graphic elements, quality materials and color. Additionally, well-crafted signs show that owners have invested time and consideration in planning their residence or business image. Ultimately, these signs become works of communication art. In fact, some owners keep their signs as art pieces. Some even show up in museums and antique stores.
