Custom Pub Signs – Traditional VS Modern

Creating Custom Pub Signs

Pub signs are very unique sign projects.  Traditionally they were one of a kind projects to mark a local establishment.  Today some pubs are part of restaurant chains which means the signs will be duplicated.  The professional sign makers here at Sign Depot take a different approach to each sign project.  This gives the restauranteurs a variety of choice and the opportunity to personalize their custom pub signs.

Traditional Pub Signs

Traditional pubs signs are often 3 dimensional custom carved wood signs.  They were highly visible signs to passers-by.  To learn more about traditional pub signs please take a look at the slide show below.

The History Of Pub Signs 

These pubs are generally geared to distinct crowd.  Many have a rich family heritage and the owners want that  history to been represented in their pub’s sign. Personalization of the sign is of tremendous importance.

Modern Pub Signs

Modern pub signs can be just as customized as traditional pub signs.  These signs tend to made from an assortment of materials and are built to a much larger scale.  These modern day pubs are often located in larger buildings that are created that way to compete with other establishments in the restaurant industry. They often have a menu mix of traditional and modern fare.

Designing A Pub Sign

Whether choosing a Traditional or Modern Pub Sign there are several factors to consider

  1. How big in the building that the sign will be displayed on?
  2. Is the traffic near the pub vehicle or pedestrian traffic. or a bit of both?
  3. What will the text say?
  4. What kind of logo or graphics will best represent the pub?
  5. What is the budget for the project?

Once you are able to answer these five questions, then the design and sign permit process can begin.  Customizing a sign can be just as individual as you are.  Here at The Sign Depot we have quite a portfolio of both traditional and modern pub signs.
