Signs, Banners & Decals…Oh My! (Pt. 1)

So I ordered a vinyl decal of my logo from DaliDecals.com a couple of weeks ago (which took at least two weeks to arrive, yikes). It will eventually go on the wall over my clothes, after the wreath is taken down. They ended up sending me two since my logo has two colors; one in purple and one in pink. This confused the heck out of me at first, and I was wondering why it didn’t come ready to paste on the wall (it also ended up being a bit smaller than I had hoped). But this worked out to my advantage and I was able to put the other colors to good use…

The salon owners had a whole roll of black sticky paper (I have no I idea what the stuff is called but it works with vinyl and it’s for making signs) in the back that they let me use. They actually make all the signs the same way, by mounting vinyl letters on it. It came out kind of crooked and a few of the letters aren’t spaced as well as I would really want, but from a distance, it’s fine.

So now I finally have a sign thats visible from outside…..even if it’s only about 2 feet wide. Better than nothing, right?

I actually spent a couple of weeks sourcing prices for banners (the big ones, we’re talking 6ft or so); I had planned on putting one in the back, but banner stand we have is an odd size and it would’ve cost about $150 to have one made. Then one of the salon owners mentioned hanging one in the back window….WHY didn’t I think of this sooner? I pass that banner every day and never thought twice about it. I ended up ordering a 4′x2′ custom banner (it matches my business cards perfectly; score!) from EmpireBanners.com for only about $27, and that’s including shipping. Keep your fingers crossed that it comes out looking great!
