Choose from 4 Types of Signs ~ Making Readable Signs |
Vinyl Decals: The most "professional" style, giving your ride that commercial vehicle look. For glass, vehicle body, or any other smooth surface. Your 100% cut-vinyl letters and graphics have no background, and are easily applied all at once with removable film. You can also order "Reversed" lettering, for inside glass installation (viewed from the outside), but this option is NOT recommended for deeply tinted glass, and use light colors with 1'' text or bigger, so it can be read easily through glass and glare. You can also mount reversed lettering on the front-end of your car body, to read properly in rear-view mirrors.
Use: For any smooth, hard surface. (USE OF REAR WIPER IS OKAY, BUT WAIT 72 HOURS AFTER INSTALLATION.)
Life & Removal: Lasts up to 6 years. Can be removed with soapy water, a plastic blade, and mild pressure.
Price: $6.95 base price, plus 7 cents per square inch, calculated for you automatically.
Adhesive Stickers: Our Vinyl Decal mounted on an adhesive-backed vinyl sheet. Choose from 20 background colors. This bumper sticker style is for car bodies, bumpers, or any other smooth surface. Dark background colors are not recommended for glass, since the heat generated from car interiors can warp the background vinyl of large stickers.
Use: Light background colors for glass, any colors for car body. (Or any other smooth, hard surface.)
Life & Removal: Lasts up to 6 years. Can be removed with soapy water, a plastic blade, and mild pressure.
Price: 10% more than the price of the Vinyl Decal alone.
Static Window Clings: Our Vinyl Decal, mounted on a clear film that attaches to glass without adhesive. A more temporary, less "professional" sign look, but the entire sign can be removed in one piece, instantly. You can also order "Reversed" lettering on Static Cling film, for inside glass installation (viewed from the outside), but this option is NOT recommended for deeply tinted glass, and use light colors with 1'' text or bigger, so it can be read easily through glass and glare.
Use: For glass, not for painted surfaces. If on the outside, DO NOT USE YOUR REAR WIPER.
Life & Removal: Lasts up to 2 years. Remove and reuse once or twice (static charge weakens). Store flat on the shiny paper.
Price: 20% more than the price of the Vinyl Decal alone.
Magnetic Signs: At a moment's notice you can "brand" your vehicle with any message you like, using our Vinyl Decal mounted on a flexible magnetic sheet. Choose from six background colors. These are reusable many times, if stored flat, but only stick to smooth, flat or gently curving metal surfaces, like metal bumpers or side and rear doors. Test your car for plastic with a fridge magnet first.
Use: For any smooth metal surface. Not for aluminum, plastic, fiberglass, etc.
Life & Removal: Lasts up to 6 years. Remove & clean weekly, or any time after it rains, to prevent dirt from getting trapped.
Price: 40% more than the price of the Vinyl Decal alone.
NOTE: Life-span depends on road and weather conditions, and if you garage-park your vehicle. But all of these signs will last longer than ones made with ink. Our red vinyl won't fade after six months, like some ink-based signs will... ours never fade!
The examples below are of larger designs, but you can make tiny ones, too... it's all up to you! We make signs from six inches up to six feet long. Just click a "Load & Modify" button below, and then change the message, fonts, colors, and letter sizes to any specifications you like. You can also add up to four Edge Images, and insert Text Icons between groups of words. Your adjustments will create a fresh graphic preview and price quote.
If you see a sign design, either here or on our Samples page, that you want to modify, but it's a different type of sign, you can change that really easily, too. Just make a different selection from the Background Color & Material menu in the Design Center.

Signs, especially those made to be placed on a "moving target" should be designed to be read and remembered quickly and easily. Here are some things to remember when designing your sign.
COLORS & FONTS: Try to keep your design to 1, 2, or at most 3 colors and fonts. Any more than that, especially on smaller signs, creates a "busy" look, which can distract from the content of you message. Also, lighter colors show up much better on glass, especially tinted auto glass.
To test this, take a white piece of paper and a dark or black piece of paper (tear an ad with a dark background out of a magazine), and then hold both against the glass. If it's a lot easier to see the edge of the white paper than the black, you're better off going with lighter colors.
TEXT: Fewer, bigger words are much better than many small words. If you have a sign with 4, 5, or 6 lines of small text, and your Web site or phone number is on the last line, most drivers won't ever get that far, so they'll never know how to contact you.
Also, Domain Names are not case sensitive. It's much easier to read a domain name at a glance if it has the first letter of each word capitalized. Look at the following two examples, and you'll see that the one on the right is much easier to read and remember, although both will go to the same place.
Finally, if you have a URL that is just too long to fit on a sign, or only fits with tiny lettering, you might want to consider using a URL forwarding service, which will give you a short URL (Web address) that will automatically forward traffic to your long URL.
SIZE: Obviously, when it comes to signs, bigger is better. But it is still preferable to have a smaller sign with just a few big words than a bigger sign with many sentences of small text.
It is also extremely important to measure the area you want to cover before designing and ordering your sign. And don't run your sign right to the edges of a glass window, or it will look "cramped" and unprofessional. Always figure on leaving at least a few extra inches of empty glass "border" all the way around, and design the overall dimensions of your sign accordingly.
If you have a surface that is deeply curved, large Vinyl Decals may be difficult to install. If you can't lay it down flat on the surface without it buckling, then you might want to consider designing (or cutting) your sign into thinner horizontal strips, with only 1 or 2 lines of text on each strip.
