Quick checklist before sending

  • Supply the vector logo and final wording
  • Confirm materials, lighting and installation scope

Show the location and the approach customers will take.

PRODUCTION BRIEFMaterial + fixing + finish

Approve the construction as well as the appearance.

Begin with the real site

Send a straight-on photograph of the storefront and an annotated view with approximate dimensions. Show nearby obstructions, the mounting surface and the route customers use to approach the shop. Treat an early measurement as a quotation reference, not a substitute for a final site check.

Compare the construction, not only the appearance

Possible directionWhat to discuss with SHARK
Printed panel or banner-faced signFrame, face material, readability, exposure and replacement.
Illuminated sign faceNight appearance, light distribution, power access and maintenance.
Individual raised lettersLetter depth, mounting, spacing, wall background and any lighting.
Window graphics or cut letteringViewing side, privacy, visibility through the glass and cleaning.

These are starting points for a design discussion, not interchangeable products with identical lifetimes. Ask for a quotation that describes the actual materials and installation scope.

Make the message readable

Prioritise the business name and essential information. Test a simple scaled preview from a realistic viewing distance, rather than judging the logo only at full screen size. Avoid placing every service and phone number into a small area. Check Arabic and English text carefully, including letter connections and dots.

Prepare the logo properly

Send the original vector logo when available, not a screenshot taken from social media. Include the preferred wording, colours and any existing brand instructions. Outline text only in the production copy, and provide the intended appearance as a PDF reference. Complex gradients and very fine lettering may call for a different construction approach.

Consider the whole installation

Discuss mounting, weather exposure, cable routes, service access and the expected cleaning method. Agree who is responsible for final measurements and installation. Establish any required approvals before fabrication. Electrical and structural decisions should be reviewed by the appropriate qualified people rather than inferred from an attractive mockup.

SHARK Production Tip

Approve the spelling, dimensions, placement and construction description together. A visual mockup is not a material specification, and a digital preview cannot establish the exact appearance of illuminated colours at night.

What to send SHARK

Supply storefront photographs, approximate dimensions, the vector logo, required text, preferred lighting and a clear budget range. List essential requirements separately from optional upgrades. Before fabrication, confirm the final artwork and the written quotation, including installation and any exclusions.
