    I like the first one.

    Is there any way to make the "nursery & preschool" bigger and maybe the Appointment/tour" smaller?

    I would want the nursery and preschool to stand out a little more.

      Yes everything is adjustable. These are drafts.

        My hubby is a graphic artist- he says that the brown background is the best because the contrast between the background and the lettering will be the easiest to read from far away/going faster. But a brown sign won't stand out as much as a white or bright color would. If you go with a white one the letters need to be in a dark color and a thick font so they can be read quickly from the street.

                I agree, the owls in the last one are the cutest! Like someone said above, I would make the "nursery and preschool" a bit larger and maybe a deeper color, like the darkest teal color on the biggest owl.

                  I'm a graphic designer, so here are some changes I would make, which incorporate what's called "white space" (leaving blank spaces around each element so as not to crowd things), and fixes some alignment issues:

                          I like the one second from left but the owls on the far right. You do have to have large lettering with colors that stand out. I've had 2 signs made for outside and never get the lettering large enough for drive-bys.

                              I can't decide on which is better/more visible/attractive for an outdoor sign. It's only 18in by 24in, made of aluminum and will hang from a scroll type post.
                              would take 3 rd sign's "OWL'S NEST" the 4th sighn's "nursery and preschool" the 4th signs owl picture and the 4th signs "tour by appointment only" and the 3rd signs phone number. [/U][/I]

                                Isn't it funny (maybe my computer) but I can hardly see the green lettering at all. I like the one EarlyStart did. Stand back from your designs and see which one jumps out and is clearest to read.
                                I see little people.
