Blazon – Hanging Shop Sign Generator for Blender

Blazon builds hanging shop signs inside Blender: a painted pub board on a wrought-iron scroll bracket, a cut-out golden key over a locksmith, an enamel telephone plate, a glowing cafe lightbox. Pick one of 57 ready-made designs from the picture gallery, type your own shop name, and every board, bracket and chain rebuilds live.

The lettering and pictures are painted straight onto the board like a real signwriter would: arched names, drop shadows, outlines, gold leaf or carved letters, borders, painted panels and 32 trade pictures from the crown and the anchor to the pretzel, the boot and the pawnbroker's three balls. Load your own image as the picture or as the whole face, and any font from your disk.

Weathering is one slider each: paint wear peeling at the edges, sun fade, grime with rain streaks, rubbed gold leaf and rust on the iron, with a new pattern a click away.
