House and salon signs: a lit sign for 4 on Swallow and a salon shopfront

A lit house name sign

This sign is on the grey boundary wall of a modern home. It reads “4 on Swallow” in a plain sans serif font, inside a thin rectangular border. At dusk the sign lights up. The number and street name glow warm white against the wall. The sign is simple and easy to read from the road. Its plain design matches the straight lines of the house.

A lit house sign is useful. It helps visitors, delivery drivers and emergency services find the right gate at night. A well-made sign also suits the design of the house.

A salon shopfront

This salon is in a row of shops. Bright green fascia signs above each window show the salon’s name. The windows have matching green graphics. The green stands out against the grey walls and dark window frames. This makes the salon easy to tell apart from the shops next to it. The window graphics repeat the green at eye level.

Small signs follow the same rules as big ones. Use one clear message and a colour that stands out from the surroundings. Make the lettering big enough to read from the distance people will see it from.
