a

Hmmm okay i did this......make your sign white with black lettering.
For it to be visible from 50ft away your gonna need big bold
lettering dont go for anything fancy. A good way to go is have a look
at the henna-boy site and view the shop pic in the gallery. The signs
at the top are just over 2ft high and the lettering takes up most of
that. When i tested it you can see that from a LARGE distance! Big n
Bold works best. Also for night work strip light along the top will
light up your display fine ---- also one of the most successfull
displays ive ever had at night time i had a specialist balloon that
way UV lit and floated just above the stall.....quite pricey but you
can see that one from miles around!
