Ever wonder where computer fonts come from?
Most never give a second thought to the source or origin of fonts.
There they are on our computer's operating system or embedded in an illustration software program.
And we use them continually with great success but with little or no realization that a font is a software program created by an actual person dedicated to the art and craft of drawing typefaces.
Creating one's own unique font can add to the creativity and originality of any design.
It is a challenging task; but the end result is well worth the effort.

Q: How much does a Sign of Gold cost?
The cost is determined by several factors: the size of the panel, the copy content (the number of letters) and complexity (logos, scrolls, etc.), single- or double-sided, method of installation (post-mounted, fascia) and geographical location.
Q: Does Signs of Gold use foam products for the substrate panel?
We only use mahogany for our substrate panels because of its legendary carvibility, lateral strength, and exterior durability.
High density polyurethane (HDU) or foam is not suitable for substrate use.
