Brewing Up Some Artistic Signs For The 3 Brewers Restaurants

It’s A Beautiful Day In The 3 Brewers Neighbourhood

The 3 Brewers, also known as Les 3 Brasseurs, are Canadian microbrewerey restaurants. Each location is unique and has a dedicated beer for the neighbourhood that the restaurant is situated in.  When they had a need for individual brand representation at each establishment, they came to The Sign Depot for a variety of custom artistic signs.

Artistic Signs As Demonstrative Drawings

While infographics are often used online, this demonstrative drawing serves as an step by step infographic of the brewing process perfected by The 3 Brewers.

As you can see from the image above, the graphics were hand drawn by the expert signmakers here at The Sign Depot.  After completion the drawing was placed into a custom fabricated metal frame and cnc cut HDU replica bolt heads were affixed to the piece. The distress finish completed the vintage look of the artistic sign.

Custom Crafted Beer Deserves Custom Made Signs

As mentioned earlier in this post, each location of The 3 Brewers has a one of kind beer created for that restaurant.  Naturally they wanted these specialty beers highlighted in each locale.  That is when a custom sign shop can play a very important role.  The signmakers crafted custom pieces for display and replication for each indivdual location.  Below are just a few of the charcoal art pieces that were created for The 3 Brewers.

The 3 Keys To A Succesful Trade Show

 The keys to a successful trade show booth are

  1. Providing A Much Needed Service
  2. Looking Professional
  3. Being Memorable

If you can provide item number one on the list, the expert signmakers here at The Sign Depot can assist you with the other two steps.  Creating custom signs, crafting unique promotional items and manufacturing trade show booths are just a few of the things that we are very familiar with here. Below is an example of the booth The Sign Depot displays at trade and industry shows.

As you can see it is quite different than most.  The materials used represent the type of speciality signage we are known for and the examples show how unique each project is that we take on.  Even though it looks elaborate, it was fabricated for easy setup and tear down, which also makes for less wear and tear on the booth itself.

Designed To Fit Your Needs

If your business is participating at an upcoming event be sure to contact us first when it comes to your custom signs, booth requirements and display needs.  All it takes is a little edge to ensure that the show patrons leave with your company in mind.  We create designs with that fit with the needs of your brand and fabricate what you require with the utmost attention to detail. We look forward to seeing what the spring shows have in store for you and your business.

Designing 3 Dimensional Signs

Many local residents made the trip to Sign Depot workshop this summer to see the MASSIVE Pirate Display that we have been talking about quite a bit. It evolved from small foam sculpture and scaled to proportion of large pirate ship and crafted  from High Density Urethane. To see more about how this artistic sign structure was created make sure to read our post about Creating A Pirate Crew.  What seems like a sign of epic proportions here in The Sign Depot workspace, ends up looking quite different as this 3 dimensional sign is raised to new heights.

Sign Proportion And Height Perception

Although this 3 dimensional sign structure became quite a showpiece in our sign shop here in Kitchener Ontario, the Pirates were created for a different locale altogether. Yesterday crew made the trek to Niagara Falls Ontario where the pirate display became a focal point for those visting Clifton Hill. As you can see the height of this showpiece sign distorts your perception of how large this artistic sign structure truly is.
