If you can generate a font on your computer (I used photoshop to modify a standard font, you can then play with spacing and sizes) that you like, then produce a PDF in full size that you want the name, most sign shops will take your file and cut a vinyl sign for you. You can include graphics as well. Just make sure the image size is the same as the size you want the sign before you save the file. Much cheaper than having them do the layout as well.
