Win $50 by participating in our Seattle Store Sign Contest.


We are opening up a new store in downtown Seattle next month, and we want YOUR feedback on this sign (file attached). The sign will be made out of wood to give it a rustic feel.


To enter, tell us how we can improve the sign layout, shapes and objects, and text. We will select a winner to receive a $50 ecigexpress gift card on Friday.


For anyone in Seattle, we look forward to meeting you next month on 118 1st Avenue South!

1. I would change the words "the vapor is fine" around to not have to be read upside down...

2. It would be nice if the tip of the ecig lit up so people would know it was not a tobacco one, even from a distance!! ;)

Agree with #1.

As for #2, I'd get rid of the cigarette, abiet electronic, altogether, and while it seems that ship has already sailed, I wouldn't have ecig in the name of the business either. And even if you have to have it as the name of the store (for some reason), I certainly wouldn't have CIGARETTE be the most prominent word on the sign.

Love the look (old-timey hands are perfect) and the wording. I don't know if it is too expensive to do this idea, but I'd love to see a B & M sign where the e-cig actually puffs out rings of real vg vapor. That would be so cool! I think it would also get foot traffic to experience that the vapor does not smell and that it is not real smoke.

Best of luck with your store!

definitely change the ecig to look like some basic mod, like an ego with a clearo or something. Something simple but not looking like a cigarette. Also like the idea of turning the "vapor is fine" right side up; easier to read. Good suggestions here, I am just agreeing with a few.... Also maybe remove the word "cigarette" and make it "vapor" or "vape" or something that does not scream cigarette.

Just my :2c:

Edit, maybe "to your health!"

I like the pointing hands...they have a real old school sign feel to them. I would suggest making your company name a bigger focus on the sign rather than the product being the main focus. I think that would help with branding yourself! Especially because the letter "I" on ecigexpress looks really cool!

I agree with inverting "The vapor is fine" verbiage and making the font on that bigger as well. And perhaps even making the word VAPOR stand out via a slightly larger font and color. Thanks for the contest and good luck with your new store ! :)

1. Make the cigarette more "ecigarettey" ...maybe an ego or some other ecig shape...

I agree with the above.
Also have just one hand pointing at the door to the store.

I would Change the color scheme from white on red to white on black or vice versa. It would pop more your sign is comprised of a light color and a dark color the darker your dark color is the more attracting to the eye the light color will be. Because im assuming this is an outdoor sign that will be seen along the walkway to an outdoor strip mall among 10 - 20 other signs.

Just a thought here. Where the words ELECTRONIC CIGARETTES are maybe put Personal Vaporizers. Also where the cig alike is maybe put a sign saying Vaping is where it's at.

Congrats on the new store. Should be a great location. I haven't been downtown in years so not sure how much it has grown there.
