Hand Painted Graphics- Chrome Retail Store

Monday, April 26th, 2010

Much in the style of the bike messenger bags that Chrome designs, Chrome desired the right kind of sign for their first store front on 4th Street in San Francisco.  This 10′ garage door and regular door to the left made the perfect canvas for hand painted graphics.  The hard clean edges with bright red and black logo shape with white outline really pops.  There is no mistaking this sign as you drive down 4th street.

If you walk into the store to the right and left are more hand painted graphics done by Signs America.

Hand Painted Sign- Comcast

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

At one of the Comcast buildings in San Francisco, Signs America was called to hand paint a 6′ x 80′ banner across the aluminum facade.  This was a challenging sign to get approved by the city, but it was also a challenge to paint since the aluminum was wavy and so it took some time to paint.  Not only that but several coats of paint was needed.   All told this project took a week to finish.

Hand painted signs are good cost effective way to have a sign done.  The painting takes the shape of the architecture and because its an old art form, your sign will look very unique from all the plastic signs out there.  The colors are vibrant and take on the character and texture of the building.  Call Signs America if you are considering any hand painted signs today at 415-512-7446.

Metal Plaque- Campton Place Hotel

Thursday, April 22nd, 2010

This is cast plaque that Marty Wall did for the Camption Place Hotel in San Francisco.  This is 18″ x 18″ x 1″ thick polished brash plaque with etched logo and text with a gold paint fill.

This plaque is mounted to the exterior of the hotel near the entrance.  The high polish brass gives it a high end look and the gold on gold gives the plaque a subtle look.  This plaque especially looks good with the fancy metal work of the exterior lamp and the rest of the architecture not shown in the photo.

Turn around time for this metal plaque was about 3 weeks.
