Designer:
Design Staff, Stoner Graphix, Inc; Hummelstown, PA
Two sided entrance sign with integrated LED displays.
"We had previously executed the 2 sided dimensional circle logo sign 24+
months ago, client now wanted to incorporate a changeable message board
(“sandwich style” or “track based” was the original concept brought
forth from client). Our pitch was many thousands more then what their
stated budget was, however, our proposal was more fitting aesthetically,
allowed for a greater impact (video), multiple messages within a short
time frame, and it all can be changed from within the comforts of their
building (or even our office if needed). Value was apparent, funds were
secured, and our first drawing was approved within minutes.
Peachtree City Foam Craft built structure based on our engineering and
color specs; LED displays by WatchFire. On site installation time was
just under 15 man hours (removing existing sign and post,
install/assemble foam based structure, install and confirm LED displays,
re-install existing circular logo sign and post). Overall dimensions;
10’h x 15’w x 2’d. LED displays are 3’h x 6’w. Existing logo is 5’ in
diameter."
