DFW Founder's Plaza Monument Sign

Over the years, Founders' Plaza at the Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport has become a favorite spot for families, aviation enthusiasts and Airport employees. The Observation Area offers magnificent views of many types of aircraft as they take off and land. In addition, the plaza provides convenient parking, picnic tables, telescopes, historic information, radio that broadcasts air traffic control communications from the FAA tower, and a a commemorative monument that was manufactured by our sign business...now known as Signs Now Dallas!

If you ever get the opportunity to go, it is great for a picnic, either in the grass or on the tables, they have free telescopes to watch the airport traffic.

One of the coolest parts of Founders Plaza has to be the speakers playing the real-time Air Traffic talk between the planes and the ATC Tower. It's awesome seeing a plane approaching in the distance and to hear the pilot radioing into the control tower. Did you know DFW is the only airport with 3 air traffic control towers? Me neither!

It's a pretty gorgeous view of the airport. This is definitely the kind of place to take the kids. It makes for a really neat experience.



Here are the guys constructing the granite monument sign at Founder's Plaza.

Certain dimensions and features of this monument have been established to represent significant facts about the Airport. The panels are symbolic of the Airport’s general layout.

1. The four panels represent the Airport's four original passanger terminals.

2. The 35" wide side panels represent 35 miles between Dallas and Fort Worth. The Airport's seal in the center symbolizes the Airport's central location.

3. The four center panels are bound on the top and bottom by horizontal bands symbolizing the Airport’s physical relationship between Highway 114 and 183 respectively.

4. The total height of the center panel is 8.11' representing the 8.11 mile length of the Airport’s property.

5. The overall thickness of the monument is 17.638" representing the 17,638 acres originally contained within Airport property.


The granite monument located in Founders' Plaza was funded by generous donations from the Friends of DFW, various civic leaders and community members.

Vehicle Wraps - A High Impact Cost Effective Solution For Your Business!

Today's consumers are always on the go. In fact, 96% of Americans travel in a vehicle every week. They don't have time to watch television or read the newspaper, so how do you reach them? Studies have shown that vehicle wraps are highly successful and cost effective, they reach people on the go, in every tax bracket.

Our vehicle wraps are most commonly done in a secondary layout, "the background", that looks great, attracts attention, and uses fade away photos that will initially draw attention to your vehicle. Next, we will overlay this with a primary copy instantaneously by using 3-dimensional techniques over the background design, causing the subconscious mind to not only see, but retain the information.

Using HD Mimaki printers, we offer our customers the best in HD printing, with the brightest, most real life colors in the industry today. Lamination is a fundamental part of the vehicle wrap process. We use 3M gloss lamination over 3M wrap vinyl. The over laminate adds a sheen to the final prints giving it the look of a painted job.


Wraps without lamination several challenges. Vinyl that is not laminated is not protected from the elements, chemicals, or abrasion. Also, depending on the type of ink used, the prints may fade extremely fast.


Wraps with a premium grade laminate offer chemical resistance. They resist gasoline spills or other cleaning liquids. When shopping to price your vehicle wrap, be sure to also look for prices to unwrap your vehicle. Wraps with vinyl that were not laminated are very difficult to remove and become expensive at removal when charged by the hour.

Vehicle preparation is a very crucial stage for a successful stage for proper vehicle wrap installation. We take careful steps to make sure that your vehicle wraps will adhere properly for years to come.
