De – VINYL Intervention Using Vinyl Graphics and Decals

The Change-Up

Sometimes the simplest items can be transformed with just a few additions.  A great example of this is a stainless steel bar fridge becoming a collector’s item by adding a few artistic extras to the front of it.

This hum-drum, run of the mill appliance came in looking like this

and with the addition of some digitally printed vinyl graphics, will be leaving as the showpiece for upcoming Super Bowl giveaway at a local establishment.  The  artistic sign decals transformed the bar fridge into a promotional product, branded to advertise the business doing the giveaway.

Changing the outside of the refrigerator door, did not change how the appliance works, but gave it a unique look and changed it into a “collectible”

All it takes is a little inspiration to change everyday items into “must have” and “one of kind” items.  The use of vinyl decals and digitally printed vinyl graphics can transform the ordinary to the extraordinary.

Simple Steps To Using Vinyls

  • Know what type of surface you’re applying your vinyl to
  • Make sure to measure (& then measure again)
  • Take time to consider the colour scheme surrounding the object
  • Ensure your vinyls are applied by a professional

Somethings Are Better Left To The Imagination

Not every surface should be left untouched.  The Jennifer Brouwer Design Blog featured chalkboard paint as a design element.  Chalkboard paint can be messy if not applied to a properly sanded surface.  Why not try it vinyl form?  Chalkboard vinyl is the newest addition to our vinyl lineup.  Now it has me pinning what projects would look great in our new Chalkboard Vinyl.   Check out our Pinterest Board USES FOR CHALKBOARD VINYL .

So whether you need window graphics, vehicle branding or just looking to spruce things up, think about how you can implement some vinyl into your next project and stage your own De – vinyl intervention.

HDU Signs – Making A Daisy Blossom

Delighted to Decorate the Daisy

We reside in the Access Storage/Doon Twines building and were delighted when our friends from The Frugal Decorator told us that they were moving into the building as well.

The showpiece of their logo is a Daisy & they wanted to make it the standout item of their front entrance-way as well.  It was created using HDU otherwise known as High Density Urethane.  HDU is a sign substrate that is cut in layers on a CNC router table and pieced together to create a dimensional sign.  With the addition of LEDs the custom HDU sign will be visible from busy intersection in both daylight and night time hours.  This makes The Frugal Decorator sign noticeably predominant on that side of the building which will increase walk-in traffic, something that everyone wants.  Once people notice something new they often will stop by to see what you offer.

Now that they have a great logo adorning their front entrance it was time to add some final touches to their custom business sign.

The business name was made to match, vinyl graphics were added to the windows and the address post sign from the last location was re-purposed as a projection sign for this building.
