Dimension works!

There are now eight contractor signs out front of our property. All are dimensional and all garner more than a passing interest from all who pass by. I've heard many positive comments when I'm in town getting supplies and also from those who stop by. But it is especially interesting to watch people as they walk by. They look at each sign, but one of the latest makes folks do a double take. The C & S Electrical sign is the one everyone is drawn to and almost everyone has to reach out and actually touch it. The cord ends that protrude from the sign set it apart from the rest. Imagine how much more memorable this sign is, even compared to the other dimensional signs.

Each evening as we work on the house it amazes me how many people stop to look at the house. With every detail we add it seems more and more people are stopping to take pictures as well. They are also focusing their cameras on the contractor signs meaning the information is being spread and remembered. Watching people interact with the signs has reinforced my belief that the more dimension we can incorporate into our signs and projects, the more noticable and effective they become.

Still in the sign making business!

It seems much of our time these days is spent making decisions and arrangements and working on the new house. But work is still being done on our cusomer's projects in the shop as well. One of our current projects are two signs for our electrician. One of the signs is for his second company, System 7 which designs and installs house automation and sound systems. This sign will be installed tomorrow.

The second sign was a fun one to plan and build. It is a 3D interpretation of his logo which he has used for some time. It was fun t take an illustration and make it real! We will finish coloring it up tomorrow.

We have some pretty cool projects in the planning stage and I'll be posting more pictures soon.

Need a tow?

Today I was driving through town and saw a project I hadn't seen in a while. It was a little tow truck we had built over a golf cart chassis. Our customer also owned a body shop and so had decided to paint the truck themselves. I had never seen the finished project. They had added duelly wheels to the back and an exhaust stack that had a flame thrower attached to put on an impressive show. They had tricked out the truck pretty cool!
