Not every house wants to look friendly in late October. This sign is cut to the outline of a bat, printed with a vampire bat and the word UNWELCOME in bold lettering, and the palette stays with black and red. A rope is fitted for hanging, so the front door, a porch post or a window all take it.
The board is not a rectangle with a bat printed on it. The whole shape is a bat silhouette, wings spread, so the outline is doing as much work as the artwork inside it. Against a painted door that reads from the sidewalk, and from a few feet away a visitor sees the wings before they read the lettering.
The color scheme is narrow on purpose: black for the bat and the background, red for the lettering and the detail. Two colors hold together at a distance where a busier print turns to mush, and they sit with the spider webs, skeletons and carved pumpkins already on the porch rather than competing with them for attention.
Hanging is handled before the sign arrives, since a strong rope is already attached at the top. It goes over a door hook, a nail, a wreath hanger or a branch on a covered porch, and the wood is light enough that a door can keep swinging without the board knocking about. Mantels, walls and windows take it just as well.
A haunted garage or a themed party room needs something at the entrance that sets expectations, and this does it in one piece on the wall. Hung at the mouth of a hallway or above a party backdrop, the high definition printing holds its detail at close range where guests stop to look. Classrooms and offices use it the same way, indoors.
Turkeys, pumpkins and fall leaves on plastic wide enough for the dining table, with a second cover for wherever the children eat.
Printed covers at 52 by 87 inches, two in the pack, that fit a standard eight-foot table and later tape to the wall as a photo backdrop.
