Creating Engagement With 3 Dimensional Signs
Finding ways for companies to interact and stay engaged with their clients is very important. Being memorable is one of our 3 Keys To A Successful Trade Show. It keeps your business top of mind with your current and potential customers and helps to increase brand awareness about your company. Using 3 dimensional signs to create engagement with the public may not something you have thought of, but you can see by the examples below, interactive displays can get your info shared to a larger audience.
Providing Plinko Games To Gain An Audience
While many of our clients already come to us for unique signs for their trade shows and customer appreciation events, some really want to ensure that the audience takes the time to visit their display. This is when a PLINKO game can make an impact. While Heffner Toyota uses their custom Plinko game for customer promotions, The Great Canadian Meat Company is taking theirs to upcoming trade shows and the Portland Trail Blazers use theirs to interact with fans. Each of these circumstances create memorable experiences between the brand and their audience.

Interactive Sign Displays
When it comes to creating buzz about your brand, social media is one of the best ways to spread your message. Most people think of interactive displays as immersive virtual reality or augmented reality experiences, but any display that people interact with counts as well. Souvenir City came to Sign Depot to create a 3 dimensional sign structure to use as a photo booth prop for their Niagara Falls location. As you can see by tweet below, their visitors are putting it to good use by snapping photos and posting it on social media channels.

Feeling Frozen With Rosemaling For Dimensional Signs
Dimensional Signs That Resemble Rosemaling
Are you wondering what we mean by rosemaling? Rosemaling is a design term that is based on Norwegian folk art. It features flourishes, scroll work and geometric shapes. Often rosemaling is a repetitive design. In the Disney animated movie FROZEN, rosemaling was repetitive throughout the film. The architecture, the furnishings, the outfits and even the winter scenery in the film was designed around the rosemaling technique. You can see glimpses of modern rosemaling patterns in the LET IT GO music video below.
Did you notice how the snowflakes, Elsa’s cape and even her castle highlight rosemaling?
Because of it’s artistic style, rosemaling is often incorporated into dimensional signs here at The Sign Depot. Below are a few examples of designs and dimensional signs that have references to rosemaling.
Heading North?
This outdoor dimensional stone sign was sandblasted with a geometric design pointing to north, south, east and west. It also includes some scrolls near the bottom of the sign.
Dimensional Signs And Structures
Below is just one part of what became a large floral sign structure. With Pantone announcing their 2017 Colour Of The Year as Greenery, this HDU (high density urethane) sign element fits well for this time of year. We think think this structure would also work well in a rosemaling design.
Feeling Frozen?
Even our winter scene logo has geometric shapes and a scroll design that would be found in a folk art rosemaling pattern. While we are not located in Norway, you might get a little chilly when you take a look at all the details in this logo design.
With the arrival of the fresh white snow all we have left to ask is DO YOU WANT TO BUILD A SNOWMAN?

Del Dente To Dels Dimensional Signs
Adding Dimension To The Dels Enoteca Pizzeria
If you have visited Kitchener Waterloo Ontario there is a very good chance you have noticed the Charcoal Restaurant dimensional signs on the exterior of their building.
The Charcoal Group, known for their foreward thinking in the food industry, made the decision to rebrand their Del Dente Restaurant to Dels Enoteca Pizzeria. As described on their website the new logo was born out of the idea that our cuisine is an art form. The shape behind the word dels is a graphic representation of a hand-made pizza dough as well as a spot of sauce that might have splashed onto the chef’s coat when they took the first taste-test. Or, it is the splash of paint from an artist’s paintbrush. The customized font to represent ‘dels’ reminds us of spaghetti or linguine noodles and it exudes a fun and approachable feeling. The logo and identity will embrace that feeling that will flow into all touch points that the guest might see or touch. To bring the brand identity to the forefront during the establishment’s renovations, our expert sign-makers created dimensional signs to reflect the restaurant refresh.
Rebrand, Remove, Renew, Refresh and Repurpose During Restaurant Renovations
There were several steps involved in the Dels Enoteca Pizzeria Signage Package. Once the rebranding renovations began, time was of the essence to change over the Del Dente dimensional sign to #TheNewDels signs.
Removal of the iconic sign
Installation of temporary signage
Construction of new dimensional signs
Refurbishing of previous sign pieces 
Installation of the new signage package 
If you check out the video below you will see that several artistic signs were fabricated for Dels as well as some of their other signs were repurposed for the project.
Although they are no longer in their original spots they have been installed in new locations around the building. If you happen to see any of these dimensional signs while you are at the restaurant, be sure to tweet us a pic!
Dimensional Signs as Props and Conversation Pieces
Bringing The Outdoors In
When we talk about 3 dimensional signs it often has to do with large outdoor signs and landmark pieces. These signs are often referred to as Roadside Attractions and are great for wayfinding signs and findability soloutions. There are other applications for 3D signs as well. They make great props for trade shows, menu displays for restaurants and they add impact to entrance ways. Here at The Sign Depot we have found a way to combine the outdoor landmark piece with the indoor impact piece.
Enter Our Dimensional Moosehead
He’s one part Melvin the Moose from the Country Bear Jamboree (minus the animatronic Disney magic) and one part Bullwinkle. Our friendly dimensional moose adds the tradition of moosehead and the fun of cartoon prop. As like the majority of our custom signs, a hand sculpted moosehead can be created to your specifications to match the style you would like have hanging inside the cottage or above the mantel of your home. The dimensional moose is sure to curate some fun as a conversational piece and add some whimsical charm to the surroundings.

High Density Urethane Letters – VeloCity Garage
HDU And What It Can Do
High Density Urethane, often referred to as HDU is a material that we use quite often when creating dimensional signs. It can be manipulated in many ways to create the look you want to achieve. In the past we have made it look like wood, brick, stone and even fudge. HDU is a versatile substrate that can be routered, sanded and painted just like wood. You can be equally creative with the finish on a High Density Urethane sign. That is what VeloCity Garage decided to do with their space in The Communitech Hub. The idea was for a sleek look with a bit of an edge. The way that was accomplished was by using two different finishes on the same project.
Step By Step
The HDU sign letters were cut out on the CNC router table. Then after sanding and priming the letters, pins were attached with epoxy. These would be used for installation. Then they were ready for the paint finishes.
the GARAGE portion of the sign was given a rust finish while the VELOCITY part was painted to a high gloss look.
After the VeloCity Garage signs were installed, the two very different looks came together to capture the feel of this High Tech shared space inside a re-purposed Tannery. Finding the right mix of old and new was the key to artstic look of this uniquely crafted sign project. The result was a “best of both worlds” sign that tips the hat to the building’s historic past and fast forwards occupents to the bright future.
If you happen to be visiting VeloCity Garage we would love to hear what you think of the sign. Tweet a pic to @TheSignDepot with your thoughts or find us on Facebook to see more of our projects.
