We finally found a solution to getting our spiffy logo onto something we could then put out at the front gate. When we first looked at the house, the POs had a big metal plaque on the right pillar with their name on it and thankfully they took it with them when they moved out. We put up new address numbers on the right pillar shortly after moving in with the idea that someday we’d have a logo. We found a designer on Freelancer last year and got our logo, but we were slow to move on doing much with it outside of slapping it up here and having some stickers and window clings printed.
I spent a lot of time looking at various engraving and plastic casting (expensive!) options before I found BuildASign.com. I was able to just upload our logo, sort out the sizing and add a nice black border. A few days later a spiffy metal sign arrived. Not expensive, not difficult to setup and pretty much just want we wanted.
Of course this was during the whole driveway repaving chaos, so we had to wait for that to finish up before we could put up the sign.
Now though, it looks pretty awesome.
Side note: we liked the BuildASign folks so much we also had them make some nice address signs pointing the way to our address as well as those of our nearest neighbors. Those signs, along with getting the mapping data for our area sorted, have done a great deal to keep people from missing our driveway and continuing up the mountain where turning about can be….interesting.
