Next Day Sign | July 8, 2009
I would have posted this a week ago, but we only just now finished hooking the sucker up. The new engraver (which you probably already knew about if you follow our Twitter feed) is pretty cool – supposedly we can engrave anything that’ll fit in the engraver bed. We’re still working out a few minor [...]

This is not exactly a sign, but it uses a lot of the same construction methods we use here in the shop – it’s a giant code wheel designed and built by Mythbusters’ Jamie Hyneman and Adam Savage. They used MDF board and Cintra for the wheel sections and black cut vinyl for the letters. [...]

One of the cheapest forms of advertising available (if not the cheapest) is vehicle advertising. According to this post at Marketing Minefield, when you consider the cost per impression, vehicle advertising is nearly fifty times cheaper per impression than direct mail.

While some of our jobs are quick, one-day turnaround affairs, others require meticulous attention – like this set of plexiglass signs we are producing for a local doctor’s office. While most people don’t give much thought to the amount of care and detail that goes into producing signs like these, the end result is usually [...]

I don’t know what this sign means. By definition that makes it a bad sign. ‘Dont give yo-yo’s to children’ perhaps? It’s a British sign, so maybe it’s ‘Mind your pocketwatches’. I don’t know. But I found it at a Flickr gallery entirely devoted to bad signs. There are many more where this one came [...]

A while back – last Fall, I think – we were contacted to do a couple of signs which appeared in two episodes of the Adobe-sponsored online series Agency of Record, by the same folk who brought us You Suck at Photoshop. The first was a logo for a fake company and the other was [...]
