Frequently asked questions
A traditional sign writer paints signage by hand. They create bespoke signs for shops, businesses and charities to use within, or on the front of their premises. A traditional signwriter uses methods that have been passed down through the generations, through either family or by master and apprentice (or even maybe, self taught on via a youtube video!). It is all done by hand, and it is designed to last. The paints a traditional sign maker uses will outlive many businesses, and will be un-earthed centuries later looking as cool as when it was first painted.

Vinyl stickers can be good for a short-term, 'cost saving' solution, but it will ultimately end up costing you more, because you will need to pay out twice (or more) times to keep your shop front looking in good nick. Vinyl will last 2-3 years on a shop front, and only if the surface has been impeccably prepared ahead of sticking, and there is no prolonged direct sunlight, and there is no cold weather, and there is no days where it's hot and cold, and it doesn't rain. Just get it hand painted, and you won't have to do it again.
Short answer; yes
Long answer; no it will not be. And if it is, it will only be slightly.
And here is why: You own (or rent) a store, you have a shop front. When you open the money is a little tight, and that is understandable because you've had to pay out for everything, all at once. And so the budget for the outside of the shop is reduced a little after each payment for stock, website, branding, tea & coffee, fire hydrants, a pen, and all the other things you've got to get before opening day.
So you've only got £200 spare to pay for how the shop will look to all your brand new customers. Everyone who will walk past. Anyone driving past. Anyone looking on Google Street view.
So you buy a vinyl sticker of your logo and have it installed.
End of year one, the corners of the letters are starting to protrude.
End of year two, the E has bubbled and peel off, and most of the other letters are looking haggard.
You decide to renew the vinyl - up you get on a ladder to remove the old stickers with a sharp blade. Some of it comes off, some of it is still sticking. Residue is left. You're tired and want a beer, so you leave it.
£250 for New vinyl stickers are bought and installed, over the top of the uncleaned residue of the previous one.
End of year three letters are starting to peel away because of the rather hot British summer we had
Half way through Year 4 you decide to renew the sign again, and this time you have it sign written by a traditional sign writer. It costs you £500. The sign is hand painted. It is looking awesome. Right on brand. You can cover the whole of the headerboard because the sign maker can paint anywhere that a vinyl sticker might not get to. Round corners. Across the wall. Onto the window.
People are stopping to look at just how cool your shop now looks. It draws attention. It creates new customers, because they are looking in your shop window for the first time. And in 5 years you've spent £950 and missed out on the first 4 years of an amazing-looking shop front.
So if you'd paid the traditional sign writer the £500 at the beginning, at the 5 year mark, you've only spent £500 and you've had the shop looking bloomin' awesome all that time. You've made more money, you've made a whole new community, and you've spent less.
Told you it was long. :)

Signwriters produce signs by hand for display on shops, businesses, vehicles and a huge array of other canvases. Because they are painted by hand, a sign writer can just about paint on anything.

Signwriters (or signmakers) design and make signs and write the lettering for them. They are always hand-painted. Anything else is just a sticker. They may also install them on the fronts of shops, offices, restaurants, pubs, hotels, on the sides of vehicles and by the sides of roads.
A signwriter, or sign writer, or perhaps a sign maker are all versions and variants of what someone is called who makes signs.
Get it painted by hand, it will look so much better, and last so much longer.
