signs are required to be 5x7 inches as for color i dont know im sure someone who does will chime in
mlutz you beat me to it
Sure did... Quickest poster in the 847... ;-) Lol.
Boy have you missed out...
How big of a sign must be used?
A sign must be at least five inches by seven inches that states the restriction on carrying a firearm. Wis. Stat. § 943.13(2)(bm)1.
What must the sign say?
In regard to posting land, the law only provides that the sign must provide an “appropriate notice” and the name of the person giving the notice (listing self as either the owner of occupant). Wis. Stats. § 943.13(2)am1. In regard to other locations the sign must simply state the restriction imposed. Wis. Stats. § 943.13(2)(bm)1. At a minimum the sign must inform people that weapons or firearms are prohibited. There are a number of messages that would meet the standard and the ultimate purpose of the sign is to put individuals on notice of the prohibition or limitation.

Help at all?
You missed the best part. The signs don't even have to be there, they only have to have been there ...MLutz, I agree almost entirely and offer just a minor tweak -- the requirements you cite for posting land apply when posting general "no trespassing" signs. When land is posted to restrict weapons carry, the requirements for posting land are exactly the same as for posting grounds and buildings, i.e., 5x7" minimum and no specific language.
cite:
943.13 (2) (bm) 1. In this paragraph, “sign” means a
sign that states a restriction imposed under subd. 2. that
is at least 5 inches by 7 inches.
...
b. For the purposes of sub. (1m) (c) 2., an owner or
occupant of the grounds of a nonresidential building or of
land has notified an individual not to enter or remain on
the grounds or land while carrying a firearm or with a par-
ticular type of firearm if the owner or occupant has posted
a sign that is located in a prominent place near all prob-
able access points to the grounds or land to which the
restriction applies and any individual entering the
grounds or land can be reasonably expected to see the
sign.
is there NOT small print on the bottom of the signs that state:
Criminals need not heed this sign.. This sign is ONLY for law abiding citizens
Can i get a cite for that? i can not seem to find it
