The Charm Of Pub Signs And Other Decorative Signs
Handcrafted pub signs have been around since the late nineteenth century. Artistic signs for businesses such as bars, lodges, sports or game rooms, pub signs can be personalized with vintage pictures or advertisements. They are considered a fun and decorative aspect for homes also. A fanciful decorative sign may be created for any kind of hobby or interest.
Most pub signs are made of wood. A beveled or routered edge adds an artistic effect. These types of signs could be used in a variety of ways. If 3 balls were added to a pawn shop sign, for instance, it would be of resin for a three dimensional look. Imagine a dentist sign constructed with a three dimensional gold tooth, or a shining foot on a podiatrist sign.
For the avid fisherman in the family, a large rectangular sign with his or her name might be accompanied by clever lettering and a resin fish or a canoe for accent. It could be a small simple sign that says, "Gone Fishing." The suggestion to listen to clever fishing stories might be fun. Garden signs can be quirky and entertaining. Perhaps "Garden of Weedin" in a whimsical text, or a gentle warning accompanied by pictures of flowers that canines are not welcomed here.
The "Man Cave" has become a treasured space just for the mister of the house in recent years. If he intends to entertain his friends, he will no doubt wish to have at least one pub sign displaying manly interests. Golf, poker, darts or sports teams are celebrated hobbies that make revered signs. Any game sign can be fixed with a chalk or corkboard for keeping score or messages.
For the do it yourself fellow, a sign advertising the expertise of the homegrown mechanic, biker or all around fix-it man could be arranged around a wall clock. What better man cave is there than the garage when the idea is to combine the pursuit of fun and exertion. Sometimes all a man cave needs is a sign that the best drink in the house is - take your pick. It could be coffee, beer or a glass of wine, embellished with the proper phrase and enhanced with colorful aesthetics.
Of course, a functional device is not necessarily fun, but can be decorative. For a signal to the entrance, exit or bathroom, a half moon shape if not a rectangular shape can be cute. What a pleasant way to instruct customers to be seated or make them aware of the enforced no smoking policy. It is a perfect way to share more than information. One may share personal passions and interests with clever designs that are only limited by ingenuity.
