The HOA at Hillsmere Shores wanted a sizeable nautical entrance sign for its community beach, and we made it at our shop in Edgewater, Maryland. The sailboat is a classic icon of the Chesapeake Bay. A boat, a crab, or even a blue heron would look just as good on an entrance sign. For example, we made this sign with a crab for a private home in Severna Park, Maryland.
Designing Nautical Entrance Signs
If you have an idea for an image that would look good on your sign, tell us. We will let you know if it can work. Usually, we can find a way to bring your idea to life. We also help with the layout, the size, and the lettering style, so the finished sign suits your entrance and your community.
Can HDU Signs Have Wood Grain?
Yes. We use a blasting frame to create a textured wood grain background. Routing is another way to create a faux wood texture. With either method, we can make an HDU sign look just like a cedar sign. Sherwin-Williams exterior paint and 23 karat gold leaf complete this project. A sign this large is a good fit for HDU, and the same approach works for any nautical entrance sign we design.

You can find our signs throughout the Annapolis area and in the surrounding neighborhoods. Here are two more examples of our work:
