Panther Pizza is a small cafeteria/restaurant for students, faculty and staff at Georgia State University (GSU). They serve Pizza, Pasta and Sandwiches. The interior of the restaurant had not been updated in about 10 years, and it was time for a renovation. For the construction and renovation, GSU reached out to Dennis Lippy at Lippy Construction, who then contacted Stephen on our team to come take a look at the project back in November.
Importance of Directional Signage
Imagine… you’re in a huge mall complex trying to find a specific store or a department within a store, but you have no idea on which floor or in which direction you should go. Or, you are grocery shopping with your screaming two-year-old and just want to get out of there, but can’t seem to find the eggs you need for breakfast tomorrow to save your life. Or, you are lost trying to find your classroom at a big university, and you are already running late for class. In each of these scenarios, having directional signs would be extremely useful and can make one’s life a lot less stressful.
Vinyl Graphics on Satellite Dish Covers: A Unique Signage Opportunity
Satellite Dish Covers Draw Attention to a Local TV Station
Laura Hale, Creative Services Director from the CW69 network in Atlanta Georgia came to us with a unique idea. They have several large satellite dishes used for their programing that are located just off one of the major interstates in Atlanta. They were in the process of getting covers for all of their satellite dishes and called to see if it was possible to put their logos on these dish covers using vinyl graphics.
The Best Parts of Working for a Sign Company
A sign company is a unique business that works diligently to provide the best customer service possible. This way, the customers have branding that will get them recognized and known by potential customers. There are several positive aspects that are unique in working for a sign company that other businesses typically can’t offer.
Helping a Franchise to Open a New Location with a Channel Letter Sign
Randy Clevenger who currently owns two franchise locations of WorkOut Anytime Fitness contacted us to see if we could help them out with a location about 10 minutes from our facility. They were taking over four suites in a Publix shopping center which had very different elevations. When they first contacted us, they asked us to help with the channel letter sign they needed to identify the new location.
Using a Vehicle Wrap as a Creative Way to Advertise for a Jewelry Store
In the past we have always shared that the vehicle wraps are, hands down, one of the most cost-effective ways to advertise your business, particularly in Atlanta where traffic can be horrendous. Just think of how many hours a week you sit in it, and how many vehicles you see while sitting there. One recent trend we’ve been seeing is companies buying an older van, wrapping it and then parking it in their parking lot by the side of the road where the most traffic is driving by.
This allows for additional visibility over and above their tenant slot on the shopping center’s entry sign(s), creating a virtual billboard that gets the business noticed while merely sitting there. And, just like any other vehicle wrap or graphics, it also gives them the opportunity to advertise their business as they are conducting their day-to-day business.
Designing Exterior Signs for the Right Fit
One of the first things a new business owner thinks of when it comes time to start designing exterior signs for their business is how they can get their logo on the sign in order to build brand awareness. And, more often than not, they want to make that sign as large as possible to make sure the new sign has maximum visibility. Size is typically dictated by the sign ordinances for the specific municipality the business is located.
Traits of Good Business Signage
You made the first step in deciding to get your business a sign. But what makes the difference between just an ordinary, everyday sign to one that stands out among the rest? How exactly do you know if you truly have good business signage that will bring in revenue and curious customers? Signs are everywhere, and with so many options out there that you can choose from, it’s hard to determine which one will serve you and your company best.
Warehouse Signage for a Relocating Company
PrimeSource Building Products was moving from a small warehouse location in Atlanta to a larger location in Ellenwood, GA. PrimeSource is one of the largest purveyors of fasteners in the world and one of the largest distributors of building materials in North America.
Using Flex Face Signs to Update Mall Entrance
In the past, we have been lucky enough to have done several jobs for Stanley and Sons Construction Company. Last Spring, we were contacted by their Vice President, Tom Gooby, to help him bid on a job he had at a local mall, Sugarloaf Mills.
Sugarloaf Mills had been undergoing a major renovation, and part of the project was to update one of the main entrances. This project included removing several structures and updating the sign faces that had been at the mall since its opening in 2000. We were excited about making the mall’s appearance fresh with original signage that would draw in new customers just in time for the holidays.
