Our own wrap

Seeing more progress in the transition from Impressive Signs & Graphics to Signs Now Dallas. This week, we have begun re-wrapping our own vehicles with the new business logos. First project, the Toyota Scion, often used to pick up and deliver materials. So far, the hood is done and looks magnificent!

Sorry for the smaller photos, but this is what the Scion looked like with the former wrap.

And here it is after the wrap is removed. Can't wait to see it with the new Signs Now Dallas vehicle wrap! We will keep you posted on the progress!

Almost there!

It's A Wrap!

Wraps, also known as "skins," are a project that we see most commonly on vehicles, primarily pickups, delivery vans, and box trucks, etc. Here is a wrap that we are finishing up for ProStar Services, Inc., a privately owned Office Coffee Service company based in Carrollton, Texas. If you visit their web site, you will see several pictures of their wrapped vehicles!

Sometimes, we wrap other things...like this front counter at a Little Caesars Pizza store.

Here is a lemonade stand that was wrapped for a vendor at the state fair of Texas.
Here is another state fair vendor stand. The official "before" photo.

Almost finished, but what a difference already!

Busy, busy...lots of projects for Thursday!

With all of the rain that we have had lately, our fabricators have managed to get through many truck wraps for the week. Wrapping is a very tedious process and takes a lot of patience even when it is not raining. Here they are finishing up one of the box trucks for all-Tex plumbing. This one of two that they did for this company just this week.

Other the other side of the building, the aluminum craftsmen have been busy working on a channel letter sign for a retail store called Ultimate Sports Nutrition. We have done another outdoor sign for one of their other locations.

Another part of the sign.

Here is what it should look like when they are all finished!

Rainy Day Fun

If you look real close, at the top front of the truck or on the side, you will see the words, "Got Water?" We've got plenty in Dallas over the past few weeks with over 8 inches of rain. While we need the rain, it does make projects like wrapping oversize trucks more difficult and timely. This project is about halfway there! Rain, rain go away!

Here is a custom indoor sign that is just getting ready to ship out. The neat part about this sign is the customization of the "C" logo, which happens to be cut aluminum. Signs Now Dallas handles many out-of-state customers as our prices are competitive and we ship nationwide!

A Hand Painted Sign

The Signs Now Dallas crew has been super busy this week. Here is just one of the projects that they are working on, and it's unique...a hand painted sign.

You don't see these too often anymore because computers can do the work in less than half the time, however a hand painted sign can be a great way to convey a special message or in the case for this customer...provide the perfect authentic look for a store that will carry vintage finds!

When needing a sign for a brick building, stucco walls, canopies, or the roof of a building, a hand painting can be the best option.

Here is the artist, Michael Benn, outlining the letters to give them more dimension.

Almost finished!

Thinking Outside The Box...With Signs!

Last year, Mayor Dave Heilmann of Oak Lawn, Illinois, added humorous signs to the city’s stop signs in attempt to cut down on speeding through stop signs in September. Slogans were added 50 various stop signs throughout the community, such as "and smell the roses" and "means that you aren't moving." Evidently, the Illinois Department of Transportation did not share in the amusement and ordered the mayor to take the signs down.

"I thought that was a very harsh response to an effort to promote safety," Heilmann said. "I truly believe the signs were making an impact. They were around schools and heavily trafficked areas. The community loved them, and we heard from all over the country about how thinking outside the box was a good way to reinforce the message that people need to stop."

A great example of how signs can be effective. What do you think? Would you be more conscientious if you saw a sign like this?
