If you have an image and store brand to project, shouldn’t all your signage reflect it? Well it does here at the Renaissance Faire. “Smoke Ye Not” with a crossed-out fire-breathing dragon and Uncial Majuscule lettering gets the point actoss, while not violating the Medieval mood. This sign hung in a out-of-the-way, outdoor sitting area at the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire at the Mount Hope Winery. From here I could watch the passersby, and since I don’t smoke, I was not inconvenienced in the least. CLICK the thumbnail for a closeup look at the sign work.
