Below are sign board design ideas for shops, cafés, salons, clinics and offices in Pakistan, the main types – panaflex, 3D, acrylic, LED and neon – and what each one costs.

7 rules for a sign board that works

1. Keep the name short. Shop name plus one word of what you sell (“Bismillah Bakers – Cakes”) is enough; phone numbers and long lists belong on a banner, not the main board.
2. Use strong contrast. Dark letters on a light board or light letters on a dark board. Avoid red on green or yellow on white.
3. Size the letters for the distance. A common rule of thumb is about 1 inch of letter height per 10 feet of viewing distance.
4. Pick one or two fonts. A clear, bold font for the name; a simple one for the tagline. Script fonts look good in neon but keep them large.
5. Use your logo and colours everywhere – board, bags, Instagram – so people recognise you.
6. Plan the night look. Backlit panaflex, lit 3D letters or neon keep the shop visible after Maghrib, when much of Pakistan’s shopping happens.
7. Check the rules of your market, plaza or cantonment board for size and placement before you order.

• Café / tea shop: a neon logo or “Chai” / “Coffee” sign on the main wall – the spot customers photograph. See neon signs for shops and cafés.
• Salon / beauty studio: a backlit 3D logo for the photo wall and a script neon by the mirror. See 3D logo signs for salons.
• Clinic / dental practice: a white-and-gold 3D logo board at reception, with clear acrylic room signs. See 3D boards for clinics.
• Office / law firm: a large round 3D reception sign behind the front desk. See 3D reception signs.
