1) No, I would like more options in typeface
2) No, I would not be interested in numbers more than 8″ high.
1. No, I would like more typeface options.
2. I would not use house numbers larger than 8″.
1) No, I’d like at least a few more choices.
2) Yes, Maybe up to 12″
1) The typeface selection leaves much to be desired. In particular, it would be nice to see contemporary typefaces. The current selection seems much more Moderist than modern.
2) I would only be interested in numbers larger than 8′ for commercial application, not for the home.
No, too few typefaces
No, upto 8″ is adequate for my needs.
1) No, I would like a few moore options in typeface
2) No, I would not be interested in numbers more than 8? high.
=)
1. No, I would like more options in type face.
2. No, I would not be interested in numbers taller than 8″
1) No, I would think about 8 total choices would be a good start.
2) Yes. I think very large house numbers would be awesome!
1) Yes; the selection is adequate. A few more choices would be welcome, but I’m personally content with the options.
2) No
1) No, the 4 typefaces offered left me wanting more of a variety of styles (modern styles)
2) Yes, if the price is affordable.
There are definitely too few options for typeface. And some addresses have letters like \1225-B.\ It would be nice to have more options than even typeface.
I could reasonably see the need for larger than 8\ but I think that would be sufficient for my needs.
1)More than four fonts would great.
2)Of course! I can never read house numbers–they’re always too small!
1 :: NO, even though the fonts are interesting, a few more options would be nice.
2 :: YES, in my opinion 8″ letters should be a minimum…big house numbers are so cool…especially if they are modern.
1) I think that currently there are enough fonts, but more choice is never a bad thing!
2) 8″ is about as large as I’d ever need.
No, too few typefaces, a few more would be nice
No, upto 8? is fine.
1. More modern typefaces please.
2. 8″ is adequate for my needs.
No, more choices are needed
Yes, that’s big enough
1) No, I’d love to see more choices on the typefaces.
2) 8″ seems to be big enough.
I would love to see the alphabet too. I’ve been looking for a W for womans restroom and M for the mens’.
1. No
2. Yes
1 – no. i can never seem to find typefaces that i like
2 – no. i think 8″ would be tall enough
1) No, not enough fonts, but I do like the SoCal font!
2) Yes, our house is a ways off the road and I would place them on something other than my house.
1. No, more fonts are needed.
2. No, 8″ is enough for my needs.
1. No, the more the merrier!
2. Yes. Our house is out in the country, so big numbers would be great.
1) Yes please! Right now, I feel pigeon-holed into selecting one typeface. 8 or more would be amazing!
2) Yes – purchasing larger numbers for a gate or entrance would be first on my list.
Oh – I second with Sandra too on the Alphabet!
Yes, no. Nice stuff!
too cool! =D love these! i could use some…
1.) yes, more are needed
2.) No
1)I would like to see more options
2) I personally would not need them that big
Nice to see some modern numbers instead of the boring stuff that is normally out there.
1. I like how they have multiple ways of displaying numbers but they could offer more typefaces and letters.
2. I would not use numbers higher than 8″ on a home but maybe if it was for a business.
1. A few more options would be great.
2. No, I wouldn’t use letters larger than what is already on offer.
Of course more typefaces would be welcome, but I do really like the selection they have.
I guess it depends on how close your house is to the street.
1) Yes
2) Only if I owned a night club.
1. a few additional options would be better.
2. I would use numbers larger than 8″ in commercial use, but not residential.
1) A little more variety would be great, Although I really love the socal typeface!
2) Can’t really see ever needing anything bigger than 8″ unless I owned a commercial business.
1. No, some more creative options would be great.
2. No, I probably wouldn’t go over 6 inches b/c I have a small house very close to the street, but I can understand why others might.
1) As a builder, it would be nice to see more fonts available that compliment the different forms of modern architecture.
2) Numbers larger than 8″ would be nice if available “off the shelf” rather than having them custom fabricated.
1. No, a few more typefaces would be nice.
2. No, 8″ is probably sufficient for most homes and I likely wouldn’t buy numbers bigger than that.
1. The typefaces they have are good ones, but I’d still like to see more than four.
2. Possibly
1) I’m more than satisfied with the fonts offered. Keep it classic, keep it simple.
2) Numbers larger than 8″ would definitely be cool and make a big difference for homes placed farther back from the street.
1. Font’s offered are very good, but a larger selection would be nice.
2. 8″ is plenty.
1-I’d prefer a few more options. I could probably choose from the ones available if I had to, but more variety would be nice.
2-I personally wouldn’t need numbers larger than 8″, but I’m sure they’d be beneficial on homes larger than mine or further from the street.
1. not enough typeface options.
2. i would not purchase anything larger than 8″.
1. Yes, I believe they have enough fonts that I could pick one and be happy, but it may be in their best interest to have a few more options.
2. I wouldn’t need numbers larger than 8″
1) Yes, but there’s always room for more.
2) No.
Fabulous! So nice to see something other than the hardware store models : ). 1. The existing options are great but more would be better! 2. Bigger than 8″ would be great for visibility in homes set back from the road.
1. no, there are not enough
2. not at this time
1. I would like to see more options available
2. No
1. Yes, More typefaces would be great!
2. Anything larger than 8″ seems to be overkill for most houses.
1. Yes, I think more fonts would be a nice option.
2. I might be interested in numbers that are 12\
1: No, they need more variety.
2: Probably not, my house is very close to the street. I don;t think anything that big would be necessary.
1) No, I don’t think there are enough typefaces. I’d go Backbay or SoHo, but I could stand to have a few more choices.
2) 8″ is enough for me, but I could see wanting larger. (And yes, that’s what she said.)
1) I’d like a few more
2) 8″ is high enough for me for the house
