Description
This long rectangular plaque carries a cheering line in grey lettering on a clean white face: aim for the moon, even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars. The words run across its full length, with 'moon' picked out in tall, open outlined capitals and a little arrow leading the eye towards 'stars'. Small pale blue stars are scattered around the lettering, giving the white plaque a soft, starry touch without overwhelming the message. It measures 40cm long, 5cm tall and 2cm deep, so it reads clearly from across a room while taking up very little space.
At just 5cm tall and 2cm deep, it is made for narrow spots: the front edge of a bookshelf, a mantelpiece, a windowsill or the back of a desk, where a taller sign would block the view. In a home office or study it is a quiet nudge to keep reaching for the next goal, and in a bedroom it is a hopeful line to wake up to. Its white ground and grey lettering sit easily with pale woods, soft greys and gentle pastels, and the hint of blue in the stars picks up any blue accents nearby.
The words and stars are printed onto the face, and the plaque is a slim block with squared edges and a flat base, so it sits neatly along a level surface. Care is simple: a soft dry cloth now and then keeps the white face fresh and free of dust, and we would keep it away from damp so the print stays crisp. Stand it alone along a shelf edge, or let it lead a small group of framed photographs and keepsakes. Wrapped up, it makes an encouraging gift for anyone who could use a reminder to aim high.
