Entrance sign - updating
This is the first step to a cleaner, tidier park.
The current sign is run down and I’m looking for some inspiration. What does yours look like and if you have a photo, that would be great.
Also, any tips on what to include on the new sign is appreciated- thank you!

Oh yeah... Welcome to Chapparral.
All joking aside I spent two years on our local city's sign committee. We revamped all the sign requirements for the entire business district and surrounding industrial areas. We started with a couple months of research which pretty much boiled down to three things-
1- You don't need a sign if everyone who needs to know where you are knows where you are.
2- Most people driving by don't see them. Size matters... you have to have a pretty huge sign for people to notice.
3- Ego drives most signage designs, Ie realtors, financial planners and attorneys. Sorry guys... but it is really the truth. The 30k custom granite backlit monument sign on etched italian marble announcing 'The [your name here] Group' is a great photo op for your Facebook page but it mostly it is just an irritant to your landscaping contractor.
Bottom line is in my humble opinion is to just keep it simple. I made my own... and had a great time doing it. Fun and exciting stuff.
Hope all is going well...
