Unique Restaurant Signs and Graphics for A Unique Restaurant

What makes a restaurant unique? What if I told you there was a restaurant where you could get some of the best food and beverages in town and adopt a pet all in one trip! Sounds like fun right? Well the place to go is Bark A Rescue Pub. Bark in partnership with the Spokane Humane Society have created that place. Bark owners Josh Wade & Katie Holmes contacted us early on in the project to help them create the unique signage needed to create a unique ambiance for such a unique restaurant. The project included a wide variety of indoor and outdoor signs. It also incorporated a wide variety of environmental elements to create unique ambiance the owners desired.

Environmental Graphics

We created seamless wall logo wrap incorporating their iconic logo for sections of the interior of Bark, A Rescue Pub. These graphics can be installed on a variety of different walls and locations. We worked closely with existing branding to ensure all colors matched precisely as needed.

We created an acrylic dimensional fire-hydrant which was cut on our CNC machine. This was installed onto the customer’s wall with studs and spacers.

We Used a product called “Etchmark” which gives the appearance of frosted glass on window and a hanging sign to promote the Humane Society.

Faux Etched Glass Film

At the main entrance we added logos to the front doors and on the patio entrance we created and installed a stud-mounted white acrylic logo which hangs over the side entrance to the restaurant. This was made on our CNC
machine utilizing 1/2″ white acrylic. We are able to install signage even onto uneven surfaces such as brick and stone walls!

Design Renderings

We created a large steel pylon sign to attract attention from the main road near the restaurant. We created realistic concept renders to help visualize what the completed sign would look like. We worked with the city of Spokane to ensure all requirements were fulfilled prior to finalizing the sign. We used plot-cut reflective vinyl on the steel arches to help visibility of the logo – even at night.

Additionally we created the vinyl header for the “Furever Homes” wall, a backlit sign, sidewalk graphics, and feather flags to draw attention at the road.

Lighted Lobby Signs Add Professionalism

lighted lobby signs spokaneA lighted lobby sign adds professionalism to any business or office. We recently created this lighted lobby sign for Fellowship Financial Planning in Spokane.  An external lighting source illuminates and casts dramatic shadows to make this wall display really stand out.  The dimensional letters and logo mounted to a wood-clad wall look amazing with the additional lighting.

There are many ways to add lighting. External lighting, halo lit signs, and backlit signs are a few options.  External lighting uses an outside source to shine light on a sign or display. Halo lighting creates a glow or halo effect against the wall or backing that the sign is mounted to. Backlighting is just like it sounds –the light source is behind the sign. The sign material, usually acrylic or Lexan, filters light through the printed graphics to achieve an even glow. Though you often see backlit signs outside, we’ve created indoor backlit signs for retail, airports, sports arenas and casino locations.

Lighted signs are eye-catching, whether indoors or out. Millie McCoy at Balance Eternelle noted, “I just want to say that I love the backlit sign and I have been getting walk-ins ever since it went up.”

What does your dimensional lobby sign convey to your clients and prospects visiting your office? We can help with design, fabrication and installation to create the perfect first impression. Signs for Success is a locally owned family business in Spokane, and we strive for excellent customer service, perfect color, and quick turnaround on every project. Our large production facility allows us to design, print and install everything in-house. Contact us for a free quote on lighted lobby signs today!

surf shack burgers flexibrite LED sign looks like neon sign

FlexiBRITE LED Tubing vs Neon

surf shack burgers flexibrite LED sign looks like neon signIs that Neon? No, it’s FlexiBRITE LED tubing! Neon signs have long been used to attract customers and set businesses apart. FlexiBRITE LED Tubing signs offer the same vibrant lighting as neon in a variety of colors, and best of all, it costs much less to operate than traditional neon. 

Most people know LED lights boast numerous benefits. For example, LED lights require less energy to create a brighter image. They can even be seen in daylight, whereas neon would fade into the light.  LED lights also have a longer lifespan, lasting 25 times longer than incandescent lights and thousands of hours longer than neon.

FlexiBRITE LED Tubing offers the added bonus of flexibility in its LED lighting.  The bendable tubing is durable, and can be molded to create patterns, contours or lettering.  It would be great as a border or accent stripe, but the flexibility allows it to easily transform into shapes and fonts as well. In addition, FlexiBRITE tubing offers a streamlined appearance and a lightweight display that is easier to maintain and tailor to your indoor or outdoor space.

Speaking of outdoor, LED is UV stable and won’t fade over time. It is waterproof so you can install outdoors even without a protective awning. Surf Shack Burgers used the FlexiBRITE LED tubing to create their eye-catching storefront sign. It’s a throwback look that looks amazing and will last many years.

we used flexible LED tubing to make this custom LED signTo sum up, Flexibrite LED tubing is:

  • Less expensive to operate than neon
  • Easy to install and maintain
  • Longer lasting
  • Weatherproof and durable
  • UV stable
  • Highly flexible and customizable
  • Vibrant color, day and night

Looking for a more efficient and effective way to get the neon look for your restaurant or business? We can help with that! Signs for Success is a locally owned family business in Spokane, and we strive for excellent customer service, perfect color, and quick turnaround on every project. Our large production facility allows us to design, print and install everything in-house. Contact us for a free quote on a FlexiBRITE LED sign today!

custom standee cut outs for Quinn special event

Custom Standee Cut Outs

custom standee cut outs for Quinn special eventWe had a great time celebrating 80/50 with QUINN last month. It was the Agency’s 50th anniversary and the founder Jerry Quinn’s 80th birthday. The program was excellent. It was awesome to see and hear their story! Our small part was producing some standees for stage props and photos.

Standees are a fun addition to any event, be it a birthday celebration, fundraiser, or promotional event.  You can use custom standees as photo props alongside a custom paparazzi photo backdrop, or as decoration for your special event.  They are also great in storefronts or at trade shows to promote your brand or products.

Materials for Printing Standees

Our custom standee cut outs are made from durable materials like corrugated plastic, polystyrene, or gatorplast.  Corrugated plastic is rigid, water-resistant, and affordable, so producing several standees is easy on the budget. Polystyrene offers a smooth, matte surface for printing, and will hold up for several years. It’s flexible and lightweight, yet rigid, so it’s great for POP standees. Gatorplast is a lightweight polystyrene foam board. Rigid gator does not dent easily, and is great for shape cut signs.  

All standees are easy to move and set up in a variety of ways and can be reused for multiple events.  Standees are weather resistant for outdoor events. In addition, we can create layered images for a three dimensional look.

Use standee cut outs for:

  • Celebrations
  • Anniversaries
  • Promotional Events
  • Fundraisers
  • Graduations
  • Trade shows
  • Advertising in stores, and more!

Shape cut out standees are a fun way to personalize your event.  Let us help you create a custom life sized (or larger than life!) standee cut out.  Signs for Success is a locally owned family business in Spokane, and we strive for excellent customer service, perfect color, and quick turnaround on every project. Our large production facility allows us to design, print and install everything in-house. Contact us for a free quote on standee cut outs today!

indoor wall murals add interest to the Avista Jimmy Dean Center in Spokane

Custom Facility Signs for Avista’s Jimmy Dean Center

Illuminated channel letterset, custom channel letters for AvistaAvista Corp., the Spokane-based energy company, needed custom facility signs with consistent branding for their new maintenance and repair facility. Officially named the “Jimmy Dean Center,” it includes a 15,100 square foot maintenance building and adjacent compressed natural gas fueling station. The Jimmy Dean Center is named for a gas line worker who died while responding to an outage after hours in the winter of 1996.  

As with any large facility, signs are needed throughout to inform and direct. New signs at the Jimmy Dean Center include:

  1. An Acrylic Lobby Sign
  2. Illuminated Channel Letterset for the outside of the building
  3. Large Etchmark letter “G” on entry glass
  4. Outdoor Aluminum and Acrylic Facility Entrance Sign
  5. Directional Signs, and
  6. A Series of Indoor Wall Murals

  1. The logo lobby sign was created with three different layers on cut acrylic. The first surface is white cut vinyl with the Avista logo. The second surface is etchmark vinyl gives the look of frosted glass, custom facility signsEtchmark vinyl, a translucent film that gives the look of “etched” or frosted glass. Finally, the Etchmark vinyl is backed with a medium gray film.  “Two second surface layers gives it a unique aesthetic,” Signs for Success’ Bryce Morrison said. The dimensional look is enhanced with ¾-inch brushed silver standoffs.

2. On the outside of the building, you are greeted by a custom illuminated channel letterset. By adding blue vinyl and reverse weeding to create the white negative space, we were able to perfectly match their logo. 

Illuminated panel sign, entrance sign, custom facility signs3. A giant letter “G” is a cool and unique way to mark the entrance to Avista’s “Gas” operations. The graphics cover several sections of glass over approximately 11 square feet.  Avery Etchmark film adds a little privacy and the upscale look of sandblasted glass.

4. The Facility Entrance Sign uses an aluminum cabinet painted blue to match Avista’s branding. “Jimmy Dean Center” is cut from the aluminum face, with half inch white acrylic letters pushed through. The acrylic is illuminated, and creates an overall simple and modern entrance sign.

directional signs for Avista Maintenance center in spokane, custom facility signs5. Several directional road signs help deliveries and visitors navigate the grounds. Each sign is printed on ACM (Aluminum Composite Material) and laminated for added durability.  They are a combination of single and double sided signs, either 24” square or 18” square, and all county compliant.

6. Finally, a series of wall murals adds interest to the interior of the facility.  We installed over 100 linear feet of historical Avista photos and local history. A wall mural “offers great interior graphic options, brings the building’s character to life, and unifies all spaces,” Bryce explained.

Custom Outdoor Signs Complement New Connections Garden

multidimensional monument sign for Connections Garden in Spokane's Riverfront Park, custom outdoor signsWe were honored to take part in the new Connections Garden in the heart of Spokane.  The Connections Garden is a project funded by the Sister Cities Association of Spokane. Their goal is to showcase

Custom Outdoor Sign - Basalt, steel, acrylic and wood

 Spokane’s sister cities while attracting new and repeat visitors to the historic Riverfront park. 

The new garden provides a space to honor and celebrate the importance of Spokane’s Sister Cities through nature and art. It is placed at the site of the former Japanese Pavilion at the Expo ’74 World’s Fair.  The garden features sculptures from partnerships with Limerick, Ireland; Nishinomiya, Japan; and Spokane. Plans are underway for art from partner cities in Jilin, China; Jecheon, South Korea; and Cagli, Italy.

In addition to one of a kind art pieces placed throughout the garden, custom signs made from natural materials help guide you through the garden.  Using a combination of stone, steel, wood, acrylic and ACM (aluminum composite material), the signs add to the artistry of the area.

The custom outdoor signs are meant to inform and direct without taking anything away from the natural scenery, sculptures, and symbolism.  For example, the blue-green curved pathways symbolize the connections of the Sister Cities’ rivers to the oceans of the world.  To continue the theme, blue and green curved acrylic pieces adorn the signs along the path. The multidimensional signs are mounted to stone monuments.

All of the materials chosen are also outdoor durable and will look great for many years to come.  Do you need unique custom designed signs for an outdoor space? We can help with that!

Custom digitally printed chain link fence slats for Utopian Tailgate

Custom Chain Link Fence Slats Capture Chicago Skyline

Custom digitally printed chain link fence slats for Utopian TailgateChain link fences are effective but not usually very attractive. Check out the difference these custom chain link fence slats make!  We printed the fence slats for Utopian Tailgate, a roof top restaurant in Chicago. The vibrant design connects their brand with their city. 

Custom fence slats transform your space, so instead of looking at chain link, you’re looking at a work of art.  

We have done several successful and high impact projects since we developed custom printed fence slats in 2014.  From sports fields, to private events, and now a rooftop restaurant, chain link fence slats shine in any setting.

To create custom fence slats, we print your artwork onto corrugated plastic, which can then be easily cut into individual slats. To install the fence pieces, begin by weaving the endcap into the chain link where you want the bottom of the sign to rest. Next, cut and install the slats a few at a time by weaving them down through the chain link.  Finally, stand back and admire your work. It’s exciting to see the picture take shape!  

Chainlink Fence Slats for Utopian Tailgate Restaurant ChicagoWhy choose fence slats over other fence signs?  

For one, they look incredible.  None of the vibrancy is lost when the graphics are cut and installed.  In addition, the slats can cover a large area for maximum visual impact.  And double-sided slats give you separate images on either side of the fence.  But the biggest reason we advocate for chain link fence slats is their durability.  They eliminate the possibility of wind damage that often ruins other types of fence signs. Our fence slats are sturdy, waterproof, and they withstand high winds without tearing or blowing out.

Fence slats can be used for advertising, beautifying, or both. For Utopian Tailgate, they wanted to bring a hip, vibrant vibe that represented their brand while visually improving the space. These slats certainly add to the atmosphere and take advantage of the stunning views of the Chicago skyline. Let us transform your space!

dimensional letters, dimensional logo, and acrylic photo print for Gonzaga University in Spokane, custom signs

Dimensional Letters and Photo Print Personalize Gonzaga Office

dimensional letters, dimensional logo, and acrylic photo print for Gonzaga University in Spokane, custom signsDimensional letters add a professional look to any office building, lobby or school. Gonzaga University in Spokane used metal letters in their admissions office.  Below the admission center sign is a custom dimensional logo in the same brushed nickel finish.

To add interest and really personalize the space, they wanted to display an old photo of the campus.

On the adjacent wall is a photo print of the original Gonzaga Campus in 1893. We reverse printed the photo “second surface,” or on the back of the acrylic. This prevents scratches and wear from damaging the actual print surface.  In addition, cleaning the photo print is simple since the graphics are protected.  The acrylic photo print is mounted with brushed nickel standoffs to add dimension and complement the dimensional letters.

We offer dimensional letters in several finishes and colors.  Metal letters come in nickel, bronze and gold finishes, and formed plastic letters are available in a vast array of colors.  We can also create custom logo shapes to match.  Best of all, our dimensional letters and signs come with a lifetime warranty.

Photo prints add a personal touch to your office or business.  Choose an image that represents your goals, service or location. Hanging a relevant image can bring warmth and interest to plain walls.  Second surface printing, like Gonzaga’s photo print, will guarantee your image looks polished and new for many years to come.
