Decals are unique designs with an adhesive backing. They can be made in various shapes and sizes and used to support your marketing efforts. You can create custom decals to advertise sales on windows, hand out to passersby at trade shows, and include with mailed orders. Here are a few tips to help you start the design process.

How to Design a Custom Decal

1. Choose the Right Font

Use simple fonts that are clean and easy to read. While scripts and decorative styles seem fun and expressive, they may not be legible on a storefront. These options also emphasize the font instead of the words. Classic sans serif styles are safe choices that read well in small and large formats.

2. Choose Colors Widely

The right hues add impact to your decal design, making it more appealing to viewers and encouraging them to choose your business over another. For example, orange evokes feelings of friendliness and optimism, while blue equates to trust and dependability. You should also look at the shades your competitors use and choose distinctive tones that won’t be mistaken for theirs.

3. Incorporate Unique Shapes

Many people design their custom decals as rectangles, so stand out from the crowd by making it an atypical shape, like a bubble or wave. You can also build interesting shapes into the design by allowing the text to form a triangle or circle. The design’s uniqueness is sure to draw the attention of potential customers.
