3 Dimensional Social Signs For Sociable Kitchen + Tavern

Refreshing The Restaurant

If you are familiar with the Moose Winooskis Restaurant in Brantford Ontario, you may want to stop by soon to see their rebranded restaurant.  The Charcoal Group of Restaurants have made a lot of changes to the location and it is now known as Sociable Kitchen + Tavern.   The new concept is inspired by a sea can shipping container and they wanted to incorporate 3 dimensional signs that would represent the new image for the establishment.

Sociable Signage Step By Step

The idea behind this signage project was to create the look of a vintage metal marquee sign.  It began with a refurbished metal structure which would be large enough to carry all the extras that would be added to the sign.

 The PVC was cut to look like the sides of a sea can shipping container

Then dimensional can letters were applied to the textured PVC backer that was carved on CNC router table.

Next metal directional arrows were fabricated and given a Modern Masters Rust Finish. Then clear acrylic rounds were cut to represent lit light bulbs and added to the arrows.

All of these pieces were layered on to the metal structure and then wired with LEDs to light up the sign.

The next step was to transport the sign to Brantford for installation.

The final part of this project was installation on the building.  The images and video below are courtesy of The Charcoal Group.

3 Dimensional Signs Are A Smashing Pixels Success

Adding Dimension To Your Custom Business Signs

With winter just around the corner, now is a good time to look at your interior signs.  They are one of the first things that your clients see upon entering your establishment, so be sure to leave them with a memorable image of what your company represents.  The best way to stand out is to have a 3 dimensional sign custom crafted for your office interior.

Making A Branding Move

One of the best times to work on your business branding is when your company is moving locations.  This was the case for Smashing Pixels.  Smashing Pixels, a digital marketing and website design agency located in Brantford Ontario, was in the midst of moving their office when we first heard from Kevin Magee. Kevin was looking for custom dimensional sign with the Smashing Pixels logo that fit with the brand both he and Trevor Cherewka created in the Brantford business community.  Trevor is no stranger to The Sign Depot either, take a look below when he first visited our workshop for our inaugural designers’ demo day (you can see Trevor’s comments at the 40 second mark in the video below)

With both Kevin and Trevor looking to give their office a professional look, the Smashing Pixels 3 dimensional office sign took shape.

Below are a few images of Smashing Pixels sign being crafted here in our Sign Depot workshop.

The Smashing Pixels sign was a mix of sign substrates.  It began with a sandblasted cedar backer

Followed by custom cut acrylic letters mounted to the cedar backer.  The combination of wood and acrylic adds dimension and interest to the sign.

The sign was then installed at their new location at Dunsdon St. in Brantford.
