No Comments Signs Of Community Involvement – TEDx
Connected Community
We want to ensure that our community involvement brings people together for a common good and this new event was something that was recognized as a positive change for our local area. With our past community involvement in TEDx Waterloo we were thrilled that TEDx Kitchener came to us to bring their branding to centre stage, especially since the theme for this event was Fostering Connectivity.
For highlights from the event be sure to check out their #TEDxKitchenerED hashtag to see what those in attendance thought of the conference.
Grabbing The Attention Of An Audience
As a way to introduce TEDx Kitchener, a dimensional sign was created to draw in the audience members. This stand up sign stood out from the stage but did not take away from the speakers’ presentations. It is imperative for signs to have a unique look without becoming an eye-sore, so this one was designed for modern style of the TEDx brand. To acheive the clean look the sign letters were router cut on our CNC table.
Vinyl was applied to the letters and they were placed into a custom platform piece to hold up the sign.
While following the TEDxKitchenerED twitter feed, we noticed that the sign grabbed the attention of audience member @KWSarah when she tweeted this pic
All set for #TEDxKitchenerED tonight ! #kwawesome pic.twitter.com/NPERJQTuJv

Community involvement has always been a part of what we do here at The Sign Depot. We want to know how you get involved in your community. There are many ways of doing so. Do you volunteer? Donate to a charitable organization? Participate in community events? How do you give back to your community? We look forward to hearing about it! Leave a comment below, post on our facebook page or send us a tweet. We are always looking to connect with local community as well as our online community. We think that is great way to begin Fostering Connectivity.

Involved In Creating Community In This Creative Community
Involved In Our Community
Sign Depot has always been part of the local community, by providing donations to silent auctions, golf tournaments etc. This has always been well received, but never quite matched how creative we can be. Over the last year we chose some different community involvement projects which we hope provided a positive impact on the people living in this area. It’s amazing the impact one sign, or in this case one sign company can have.
It started last May with the Grand Opening of our new location. We partnered with The Food Bank of Waterloo Region‘s newest endevour THE DIG IN CAMPAIGN. We brought the community out to enjoy our new surroundings along with a BBQ lunch in return for their Food Bank Donations.
Some of our other new community involvement projects include
- Supplying a meeting space for the Movember KW team
- Took part in promoting Random Act Of Kindness Day
- Community connector with the Design Community
- Hosting our 1st Art Event
- Banner donations to the very successful TEDx Waterloo event
- Providing a structure for a CANstruction team to support the Food Bank
- Choosing to take on co-op students and participate in Lutherwood job placement opportunities
We do our best to support the community and encourage them to be creative as well. Finding ways to be involved in our arts community, small business networks, chartiable organizations and not for profits are just some of the ways we give back. Always thinking of creative ways to be involved is something we hope many companies will implement. We are excited about some upcoming projects The Sign Depot will be supporting in the upcoming months, but we are just as excited to be a fun place to come and visit! Just ask Darin White the winner of the Sign Depot WORD JUMBLE.
