Default How do I make colored objects on a sign?

Hi, I'm somewhat new to this business and love it! I've been asked to make a window sign and can do the wording okay, but I don't know how to create the colored objects my client wants. Is this even do-able? I'm attaching a picture of the design to show you what I'm talking about. I have Corel Draw, a vinyl cutter, and a sublimation set up. Any help will greatly be appreciated.

Cheers,
Dian

First thing I would say is, the design is unbalanced. I would level out the graphics a little more.

Outside of that, you would need something printed on vinyl. You won't be able to do that with sublimation. I would contact a local sign shop and ask if they could print graphics for a window at wholesale. You want to make sure whatever you do, does not fade easily.

Some of the letters look like they need welding too.You could probably do w/o a white outline maybe too.
Does look a little rough still.
We get our digital prints on vinyl wholesale from a local shop.A lamination over the print will give you a few more years and wont scratch so easily.

The picture is just to show the two objects. I haven't started working on it yet!
