Opinions Please? (sign for shop)

[AdamB]

Hey guys (hope everyone is ok - been offline for a few days, hectic!).

So, I am doing a new sign for the shop to point in our direction which will have a bit of info and also an arrow.

This is the question I have ................... do I go for something plain or something that jumps out at you?

To explain things, this is the arrow with a normal font:

(standard font and plain).

BUT, I was thinking that maybe I use the one below as it has a blurry effect (it drives me nuts looking at it!). The thing is, if people look twice at the sign because of the blur then it will do it's job - plus there's the factor that people will bring others to look at it so they can play a joke on people due the eyes going blurry.

So, is it a good thing or a bad thing?

opinions please ...................

Adam, I like the idea & would be interesting to see if it works the way you want it to do. I'd do it mate as I think you would be correct in your thinking.

i think i need my eyes tested lol
them small pics the 2nd one looks clear to me lol
but when i opened it i saw what u meant

maybe if they don;t cost too much try the blurred 1 for a while and see what happens

i dont like the choice of font in the first - with a very pointed arrow, surely you need less rounded font ?? or a more rounded arrow to set off the font, but i like the idea of the 2nd, and agree it might be worth taking a punt on it

I do like the blurred one.... would this not encourage the drunks? as they will be able to read this no problem :-p
