Conn Sign update

wytout, can you post a picture of your concept? I'm just curious for comparison's sake.

MnDOT standard is a 10in numeral for a 24in height shield.  The only instance where they appear to deviate from this is with the independent pentagon-style county route marker, where they go with an 8in numeral.  All other county route markers (independent squares and both types on guide signs) use 10in numerals.

just a sampling of some mockups I did quick using 2 different designs i had.

I however, am a proponent of CTsignguy's design and would back that design as the proposal go with for ConnDOT.

The blue bar design is reminiscent of South Carolina's signs. Not a bad thing.

I wholeheartedly agree, It wasn't necessarily intended to be, but it kinda happened, lol

[Quillz]

I like the blue bar design much better.

I rather prefer the black Conn outline over the blue bar design. It's not much better than what's there, in my opinion.

I like both John's and wytout's design. Wytout's has a nice bit of color while John's has a nice state outline going on. Just get that current boring square out of the way!

What i would like to see is the state outline version with the outside background and the numbers in a lighter Navy Blue to match UConn.

I'd actually really like to see someone attempt a cutout shield. Would probably never get approved, though.

[ctsignguy]

Well, I had these prototypes drawn up before using blue as a base color

Blue as primary color


and under flash


And a different take on the theme


and under flash


But Jeff felt that blue wouldnt fly over the long run....so we had a black and white shield made up

[Quillz]

What if instead of black on white, you reversed the colors and white on black, similar to the Idaho standalone shields?

[hobsini2]

I really like the blue with both of them.
