It's not too often that we do any signs these days. These are for an antique truck collector. They are going to be mounted on the outside of his building. These are reproductions of signs used in the twenties, thirties and forties. The signs themselves are made out of aluminum by an electrical sign company we do subcontract work for. They will be handling the installation. They are finished in a basecoat/clearcoat. Some of the artwork was done on the computer as was the cutting of some of the masks, some layout and mask cutting was done by hand. The sizes are 3' on the circles and 2'x6' on the rectangles.

It's very comforting to see retrospective design done for people who appreciate it by talented people who care enough about it to keep it alive.
Nice work, George.

They look great, I'm restoring a 6' Royalite sign that consists of a logo that looks a lot like that Rugby one.

We do work up here for an antique truck collector that would go nuts for those. We are actually reproducing an old Mack logo that they stopped using in the thirties for him on a cut to shape sign, the Mack bulldog only had 3 legs in the original logo.
This guy has a barn that is full of all kinds of original stuff signs, advertisement, you name it I think he has it.
We actually replicated an original REO speedwagon deal for him.
Good Stuff.
