Letter Love

The workshop at Sign Depot has been filled with various letters and numbers over the last few weeks.  So many in fact,  that I figured multiple signs were being constructed at once. Sign Letters - The Sign DepotGold Leaf Signs - The Sign Depot

Although we had fun with our Word Jumble earlier this year, I figured this time around I would find the word within the word(s) and this is the one I came up with.

But I’m not sure that was what the client had in mind, so I waited patiently for the finished product.

And the finished product had a specialized finish of its own.

Getting To Know More About Gold Leaf

In order for the letters to stand out from the red brick background, they were finished in gold leaf, otherwise known as guilding. Gold leaf guilding is an intricate process.   It is a process where small amounts of genuine gold leaf is applied evenly to a surface to create a full coverage and a brilliant shine. We only use 23K gold leaf from Italy when it comes to our artistic signs, as it is top of the line when it comes to gold leaf.  This type of sign finish not only creates eye-catching contrast, it also adds shine to the brick backdrop.

 

As busy intersection requires something that will catch your eye quickly, and that was accomplished with the use of dimensional letters with a gold leaf finish.  It is always important for your signs to visible to both vehicle traffic as well those walking by.  Your sign is a 24 advertisement of what your business does best.  Make sure it is a great representation of you and your company.  Find ways to incorporate artistic elements into your business signage and your signs will become landmarks that stand out from the surroundings.

All in all it’s more than just bricks on a wall.
