Regarding signs, which is the best background colour and wording colour is the very best to catch peoples attention?

 

[Charmless Man]

Luminous orange against a pastille pink.

Comic Sans font of course.

 

[THELORDRODWELL]

White on blonde iirc

 

[What A Waster]

Black on yellow, like warning signs on motorways, and on other danger and hazard signs.

Those black and yellow colours aren't chosen by chance

Red on white or white on red.

 

[jcrossan]

Red lettering on a white background.

Why do you think that we can never sneak by the other team's defenders

 

[MackemBob]

Yellow on Black.

Make it something memorable e.g.

People may walk past a "Fire Sale" sign in yellow on black, but they're more likely to remember "Pre-Fire Sale" in yellow on black.

Be aware, that these colours may give off a "cheap shop" vibe.

Depends entirely on the contents of the sign.

 

[karlm14]

Depends what it’s for surely?

This, depends entirely on what you want to sell.
Blues and greens for bathrooms, reds and oranges for heating etc

This is the only answer.

Is the brand already known? You may want to consider that.

We need much more information.

Provide it and it may well be your lucky day.

Who are the main competitors?

 

[equuleus]

Agree with others depends on many factors.

2 factors to consider

1. Most important- has to be readable, that means don't use fonts for decoration sake, ensure legibility at different viewing distances (a professional graphic designer will know best about this). There must be enough contrast between the text colour and the background.

2. Do research of similar companies operating in the same place- and aim to look distinguished for them. That means the message, the design and the colours should be distinctive.

Best off speaking to a graphic designer.

You'll probably find that your competitors all have the same colour schemes - or similar.

Copy those.
