Hi, a couple of days ago I decided to make a pack of signs..It's very WIP right now, but tell me what you think..Oh, everything will include a normal and "dirty" version..If you have any requests tell me..

Edit: Well I just brought out the Star Trek Encyclopedia, so now I have plenty of ideas for signs-Engineering, Sickbay, Infirmary, Shuttlebay, Airlock....

...the background looks okay. It could use some contrast, as it's rather flat...there's no real seperation. It's a good start.

The font is a poor choice for a sign. In real life, you'd never see anything that unassuming for a directional sign.

The characters are too thin, and don't seperate from the background well at all. From a distance, the player won't be
able to read what it says.

Remember: The main purpose of a sign is to easily get noticed by those who read it.

Use something more legible, and pronounced. Look at signage in the world around you. Mimic what you see, and you'll have a much improved sign.

The texture can be better, as can the font...

Also, you have some extra space around the words. Maybe make the words a little larger by expanding them into that area. But otherwise, looks like a good start.

I suppose the font isn't too bad...kinda has a more sci-fi feel to it.

Personally find the font backrgrounds dim, so the font is still hard to read. The dirty shuttle bay one is impossible to read x D

@ Butt Monkey: I'll add some brightness in there and get rid of the dirt stuff on the shuttle one.

@Heltor: Thanks!
