Work in progress: Plexiglass Wall Graphics

Next Day Sign — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 14:58:28 +0000

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 a reward in and of itself.

I wish I could claim some credit for these, but Meg has handled the job from start to finish – except for the design work, by local designer Paul Neff (who did a bang-up job, as the signs themselves attest). This is all vinyl lettering applied to matte-finish plexi. The rear side of the plexi is covered in etch vinyl hexagons, while the rest of the pieces go on the front. Below are some photos of the assembly process – the finished pieces will be affixed to the wall with small metal standoffs to help provide shadowing for the letters from the overhead lights.
