Earlier this year we completed a year long commissioned photo project for the Ramsey County Attorney's Office. The project had a simple theme, all the pictures must be taken within Ramsey County. With nearly 50 completed images printed on paper, metal and canvas, we provided a beautiful display of Ramsey County culture, scenic landscapes, landmarks, events, law enforcement, and lifestyle.
Upon completion of the project we added a little display in the entryway, visible from Wabasha. There are 4 original pieces displayed.
The sign posted here is a copy of the exhibit biography posted on site, adjacent to the featured work. You have to see the sign to really appreciate it. We printed on a sheet of aluminum with a clear gloss over-laminate. It really is a sharp product. The photos aren't to shabby either.

Are you cracking up?
Are you cracking up? More accurately speaking, is your image cracking up?
From time to time we see window lettering, vehicle graphics, and business signs looking tattered and just plan worn-out past it's prime. This cracking is the result if years of element and sun exposure to the material - vinyl films.
A bit on vinyl films. There are several different manufactures of both cast and calendared pressure sensitive vinyl films, all of which bond to surfaces with a thin adhesive film right on the material. The cast films will give you much longer life than the calendared films. Don't be fooled, they look and feel identical, except in price. If you want longevity always seek out cast, or high performance films. They will crack overtime but hopefully a lot less than what you are witnessing here.

Interior signs
What really makes a sign like this pop out from other acrylic sign options is all the colored layers. The sign started out with a custom shaped white acrylic base. from there it grew in elevation with 1/4" blue acrylic for the main name. On top of that was a raised, two tier "peacock", the iconic symbol for NBC.
Getting everything to line up perfectly involved precision laser cutting each of the shapes and a steady hand with both liquid adhesive and acrylic placement. To finish this project off we decided to hang the sign using a stand-off puck hanging system. The raised puck mount hanging system not only creates interesting shadows on the wall which helps draw attention to the sign, but the puck fasteners add a nice touch of elegance too.
To quote the late Charles Mingus: "Making the simple awesomely simple, that is creativity."
