3 Dimensional Casino Signs – Grand Buffet

Our Niagara Falls Signs Now Include Fallsview Casino

Over the years we have created several sign structures for Niagara Falls Ontario Canada attractions.  The 3 dimensional signs that we create become landmarks for their tourist destinations.  There is now an addition to the Niagara Falls signage list with the interior sign created for Fallsview Casino.

On A Grand Scale

The interior sign for Fallsview Casino’s Grand Buffet was manufactured in several stages here in our workshop then assembled for testing.  The project was all about layering through a multi-level sign design process.

The Grand Buffet Sign – Step By Step

The workshop here at The Sign Depot began to look more like a tropical floral display during the fabrication of the Grand Buffet sign.  It began with Ritch, our CNC router table expert, cutting the shapes from acrylic and HDU to start the sign formation.

After all the 3 dimensional shapes had been cut, they were taken to the paint room for finishing.

Then the layering and assembly began.

Then channel letters were affixed to the alupanel backer in order to begin lighting the sign.

The sign was lit with LEDs which are very effiecient to run.

Additional colour changing face lit and halo lit LEDs were added to the custom floral pieces.

Then both types of LEDs were tested together to ensure they would work in unison.

Then the full sign was assembled and lit, then taken apart and taken to Fallsview Casino and installed in the interior space.
