What is Design a Sign?

Design a Sign, from VanDurdanDesigns, is a browser editor for flat signs. You start from a preset or a blank sign, or describe the sign and let AI lay it out, then pick a shape (rectangle, circle, hexagon, octagon, star, starburst, heart, badge or arrow) and add text, headers, footers, dividers and your own SVG image. You tap any part of the sign to change its words, size and colors, and can add mounting holes, a keychain-style corner hole and a border.

Designing is free and needs no account. To get the design out you buy it: a 3MF with the colors already assigned costs $5, an SVG for laser cutters and plotters $0.99, and the maker also prints the sign in weatherproof PETG and ships it, from about $20 plus shipping. Payment runs through Stripe.

The maker confirmed that you may sell signs printed from a 3MF you bought. The save and send dialogs say that by submitting a design you give VanDurdanDesigns a license to display and sell products based on it on its own site and marketplaces such as Etsy.
