Project Details

Restore Existing Outhang Sign

Spectrum Signs and Graphics was contacted to restore the existing sign for a local law firm. The sign needed to be retouched in various ways. Although this sign was not originally constructed or created by Spectrum Signs and Graphics, we were still able to fix it and give it a new refreshed look that will last years.

Job Type: Sign Restoration
Sign Type: Exterior Outhang Sign
Client: Cronin Bisson & Zalinsky – Attorneys in Law
Location: Manchester, NH
Project Manager: Daniel Valencia

Designer: Daniel Valencia Production: Jake Bouchard, Bob Goodreau, Jacob Hooper Installer: Bob Goodreau Material(s): Various (3M-180 Vinyl) – PVC Molding – Lighter Universal Straight Arm Bracket

Sign Before Restoration

The client’s goal was to make their existing sign more visible and attractive. Our process included maintaining and refurbishing the current structure while also providing new faces for the upper and lower panels on the sign.

We first redesigned their current logo graphics and proposed an idea which included illumination.

Once this was approved, we moved forward with the production and installation process. This included printing the faces on 3M-180 Vinyl which was used to wrap the top and bottom panels.

We removed the panels prior to wrapping them.

We also repaired the bottom trim. This was a wooden trim that needed a major replacement due to rot over the years. We replaced the old trim with a 2″ PVC trim. PVC will last much longer. It won’t rot and always looks great.

Sign After Restoration

Once this was completed, we reinstalled the sign as well as the illuminated bracket onto the granite post.

The electrical work was completed by a licensed electrician.

This Sign Project Was Executed In Four Phases

First Phase

Sign Design

The first phase involved designing several concepts of the signs to achieve a unique, original and clean design per the client’s request.

The idea, to present the information to their riders in a very effective way without losing the company’s identity and maintaining a modern look.

Second Phase

Prototyping Samples

The second phase involved a process of producing samples or prototypes at real size to ensure that the approved design achieved and met the client’s vision or idea of being effective when displaying the information of each bus stop to the riders.

Viewing full size, tangible samples is key to making the right decision on size, material, and the overall look of your sign.

The third phase involved a group of talented designers who helped set up each sign for printing and production.

Forth Phase

Detailed Planning for Production

The fourth and final phase consisted of a detailed planning for production and printing. This included creating a template for the printing process and a detailed plan to avoid repeats or missing printing on any of the stop signs.

Once finalized, the bus stop signs where carefully packed in pallets and shipped to the client.
