My friend, Jennifer Auby Rosenblad stopped by my shop today and told me about pay cuts that began hurting state employed nurses on this Island almost 2 years ago and asked me if I could help. She explained when other state employees were given furlough days and able to work their second jobs, nurses were given none.  They reported to work as usual but with a 5% pay cut.  Some things just aren't fair.  But keep reading, it gets even worse. In addition, Jennifer told me they were promised a return to their previous wages after two years. Now, word is there will be a continuation of 5% pay cuts,...

We do a lot of HDU foam letters now that we have our CNC router and these latest set are for a new frozen yogurt business on the other side of the island called Island Froyo and will be painted and mounted to a concrete wall. The logo art for Island Froyo was given to us by the client's designer and we soon made appropriate adjustments as to make readability/visibility easier as well as making it easier to produce using our router.  Once the logistics were worked out, we cut the lettering.  Most of the letters were cut in reverse (face-down) so we could also pre-drill the stud holes in the backs...

New Bamboo Inn Hanging Sign The original sign was sandblasted out of wood and decades old when the request came in to design and develop a new sign based on the old one's layout.  The logo and fonts themselves were recreated and ideas were sorted on the construction of the sign, whether it be carved out of HDU on our CNC Router or maybe assembled in pieces, etc.  Finally it was decided to make the sign out of cut acrylic and a bamboo mat, along with 3/4" MDO board. With the router files programmed to cut the lettering in three different levels, the dimensionality of the sign was created. First,...

We were involved in the Fat Boy Burger sign from designing and tweaking the logo to discovering fabrication possibilities and its installation; start to finish.  The main logo sign was made out digital-printed and laminated vinyl attached to 1-1/2-inch foam, painted white and stud-mounted to concrete.  In addition to the exterior logo sign, we designed the Fat Boy Burger menu and made it out of ¾-inch MDO board with digital-printed and laminated vinyl attached also.­

Designed a variation of The Water Store logo into a 20-inch by 156-inch exterior dimensional sign made of router-cut painted HDU foam mounted to half-inch MDO board.  We installed it onto a concrete wall section, first by making a template out of PVC material to the same size as our sign to drill our holes and then removing that template and attaching the finished sign.

Here we printed, laminated, cut and applied high-grade vinyl and perforated vinyl of the PuroClean logo and lettering to both sides and the back window of a first-generation Scion xB to corporate-required color-matching specifications. The vehicle was dropped off in the morning and the job was finished within a workday.

Here are a couple of Polynesian-style digital prints mounted to a client's closet doors. After a few steps in Adobe Photoshop going back and forth with the client to insure the color scheme was appropriate for the color of their interior walls, we printed the 36-inch by 79-inch design twice on vinyl (bookended), protected them with satin-sheen laminate and dry-applied them to wooden bi-pass doors. The client was extremely pleased with the outcome and so are we!

a designer friend has been branching out into the sign making field and had a question about covering an entire substrate with vinyl. I have found the wet application technique to be a crutch at times, and one to be outgrown in many situations... but still a technique that has it's place.... so, since a video is worth a thousand words, I shot one...
