How it works
Pick a sign
Shop fronts (serif on cream, or gold leaf on black), opening hours, open and closed, WiFi, wayfinding, restrooms, door plates, staff only, a building directory, a clinic, safety signs (no smoking, wet floor, fire exit, CCTV, hand washing, hard hats), reserved parking, a cafe A-board, a menu board, a hanging shop sign, for rent and open house, lightbox, acrylic, totem, welcome and wait to be seated. Each opens at the size it is usually made.
Make it yours
Click any word to type, any shape or symbol to recolour. Your name, logo, phone and colours go in once under Brand. Sign symbols (restroom figures, arrows, exit, no smoking) are in Elements.
Download for the sign shop
A PDF at the sign's real size, a print PDF with 3 mm bleed and crop marks, or EPS and SVG for vinyl cutting and large-format printers.
A political yard sign built around the name
Campaign signs work on name recognition, so this political yard sign gives the candidate's name most of the space: VOTE in a navy band, the name in red capitals, the office under it, and election day with the website in a red band at the foot.
Colours
Navy, red and white is the usual palette in the US; use your party's or campaign's colours instead from the colour panel. Strong contrast matters more than the hue.
Rules on paid-for notices
Many places require a line saying who paid for the sign. Add it in small type along the bottom edge if your rules ask for it.

Questions
Can I make matching posters?
Yes: the campaign poster maker has a Vote for poster in the same spirit for windows and notice boards.
Can I print hundreds?
Download one PDF and send it to a printer; corrugated yard signs are priced per sign with stakes.
What file does a sign shop need?
A vector PDF, EPS or SVG at the sign's real size. For a printed panel ask whether they want bleed (the print PDF adds 3 mm); for cut vinyl letters, send the SVG or EPS.
How big should the letters be?
A common sign-trade rule is 1 inch of letter height for every 10 feet people read it from (about 25 mm per 3 m). A shop front read from across the street needs letters 150 mm or taller.
Can I put my logo and a QR code on a sign?
Yes. Your logo goes in under Brand or from Uploads. Make a QR code in the QR code generator, download the PNG or SVG and add it from Uploads.
Is the sign maker free?
Yes, converting is free: the conversion and checking the result cost nothing, and the work runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded. The side-by-side preview on the converter pages comes with a free account. Saving the finished file is paid: $3.49 for one file ($3.99 for a technical file such as DXF, G-code, STL or embroidery) with no account needed, or included in a plan from $6.99 a month. Saving the print file is paid: one file without an account, or included in a plan.
