NMC-Boston Signage V02A: White/Green on Black
Signage Board Dimensions:
Outer: 10' x 241/4" => 10' X 2'
Inner: 9'93/4" x 22" => 9.813' X 1.883'
The inner dimensions were used to frame the images shown.
Rationale for "two-line" store name: The signage is at a very high location; it is practically hidden by the front canopy when the stores are viewed from the other side of the street. The lower and much larger "Costumes" is more visible from across the street.
Colora: "White on Black" is used here to emphasize the focus of the store -- "Costumes" and related accessories.
The green color of "New Millennium" is muted by the black background but contrast nicely with the white color of the "Costumes". Together, the green "New Millennium" and more bold white of "Costumes" complements (rather than compete for attention with) each other. Also, the green color used here integrates the color used as background in the website and the walls of the store itself.
An all-white signage will appear too cramp vertically and too glaring (View NMC-Boston Signage V04: White on Black).
Aesthetics, Had the signage board been slightly narrower, the two-line signage would have been aesthetically pleasing. The focus text, cab be enlarged so much without reaching the vertical size limit. Even at the upper limit, there is still too much blank real estates on both sides of the signage.
This issue is resolved in NMC-Boston Signage vsersions V01A and V01B by adding a logo. However, the logo does not serve solely as a space filler.
Rationale for logo icon: We have plans in the future to establish branches of the store in other cities. The logo distinctly clarifies that the brick and mortar store at

Also, based on the dimensions of the signage, a single line "New Millennium Costumes" signage would require very much smaller font sizes.
