When the Tool Doctor took over the location at 541 Mountain Avenue, the business needed a new sign. In the recent past, this location was home to an auto repair shop. However, now the location's owner specializes in the repair of all types of electric power tools. The company worked with our shop to advertise its incoming business with a carved panel sign in Gillette, NJ.
A Carved Board Sets the Tone for a Post and Panel Sign
Businesses in this area favor using a post and panel sign instead of a traditional monument. It creates an opportunity to build a brand while assisting passersby with wayfinding. Our graphic artist put together a carved panel sign for the Tool Doctor. The colors are an attractive cream white for the posts and white on blue for the board.
For the actual carving, we used two different techniques. The first etched the address into the material. It is set up to create a clear view of the number and letters. The name displays with much larger letters. Most importantly, we made deep cuts with angled sides. Walking or driving up to the sign, you notice how this technique results in shadow play within the letters themselves.
It is an excellent method for calling attention to your signage in a memorable way. We used the same technique when carving the logo into the panel.
Incoming Businesses Benefit from the Early Display of New Company Signs
Whether you are setting up your shop at a new location or taking over the site of an outgoing company, the sooner you can present your corporate information, the easier it will be to create brand awareness. Your targeted consumer demographic will visit the opportunity to learn more about the business. Besides that, an outgoing company's customers may also be interested in what you offer.
Carved or 3D Letters?
The Tool Doctor opted for a board with carved letters. Moreover, the client decided to take advantage of a carving technique that creates a stunning display any time it is illuminated by the sun, ambient lighting, or oncoming cars. However, carved letters are not your only choice. Three-dimensional letters are another selection that appeals to many clients.
If you are considering 3D letters, select a material that underscores your brand message. Popular choices are flat-cut acrylic and metal. That said, we can also work with manufactured plastic or metal, which provides your letters with rounded edges or prismatic faces. These could be excellent options depending on your corporate persona's online display.
