No Comments Gold Leaf And Custom Artistic Sign Making
Go For The Gold
One of the custom sign making techniques that we get a lot of inquiries about is the application of gold leaf. There is no substitute for the shine achieved by 23K gold leaf. It is multiple step process which requires a lot of expertise in order to properly apply the gold leaf to a sign or artistic sculpture. The best example of well known gold leaf application recognized worldwide would be the Queen’s Flotilla. To learn more, you can read our post Fit For A Queen, to see how The Royal Barge was sculpted using many of the same techniques that we use right here in The Sign Depot Workshop.

First Gold Size Oil is applied. Gold size is an adhesive that is applied to the surface of where you want the gold leaf to be.

Next the sheets of Gold Leaf are separated to ensure even application.

The Gold Leaf is applied with a specialty brush

The last step is letting it set. In order to ensure the longevity of the finish, you must make sure the Gold Size Oil and Gold Leaf are completely dry before moving the sign.

Sign Displays For The Restaurant Industry
Restaurants are always looking for unique ways to add decor elements to their interiors. Finding ways to enhance a restaurant’s interior with artistic sign designs that compliment the establishment’s atmosphere is one of the many signs solutions we offer to our clients.
Eyecatching Artistic Sign Displays
When The Charcoal Group brought us the concept behind Wildcraft Grill And Bar we knew they wanted sofisticated signs for interior that complimented their exterior business signs. Choosing to create a display stand showcasing their extensive wine bar was a way to add a wayfinding sign that fit the surrounding decor.
Restaurant Reveal
Wildcraft Grill And Bar was well received by Waterloo Region. It continues to be a thriving restaurant where people enjoy the atmosphere just as much as the menu. By adding a few artistic sign displays, this establishment keeps their customer well informed of what to expect and where they should be headed next, to fully experience all their restaurant has to offer.
Choose Your Signs Wisely
Remember to keep your restaurant signs clear. They serve a purpose, but if it doesn’t reflect the atmosphere it can end up looking cluttered and confusing. When deciding on sign displays consider these factors
-
Does it serve a purpose?
-
Will it compliment the surroundings?
-
Where will it be located?
