Buttermilk Sky PIE SHOP – Colleyville

February 29, 2016 | By | No Comments

Edited 2Edited 4BUTTERMILK SKY PIE SHOP is coming to Colleyville!  This delicious franchise from Nashville and Atlanta is coming to the DFW and has landed in Colleyville.  This super-customized sign features lighted (front-lit) channel letters mounted on a tongue-in-groove cedar wood planked backer panel which was not stained, but water-sealed many, many times.  PIE SHOP letters routed out of the wood panel with white acrylic plastic and LEDs are housed behind in the aluminum channel we welded.  This welded aluminum cabinet behind the wood and channel letters face, also houses the LEDs for PIE SHOP and allowed us to mount off of the stone wall’s fascia.  Power supplies are remotely located behind the wall.

Thai Tara Kitchen – Carrollton

February 25, 2016 | By | No Comments

Edited 1 Edited 2

Thai Tara Kitchen is the new Thai Restaurant which will be opening in Carrollton.  It is located on the SE corner of N. Josey Lane and Frankford Rd. and promises to be a delicious option for those who love Thai in the Carrollton area.  The customer asked that we create a lighted channel letter capsule sign on a raceway that would meet the Carrollton code, and thus after conferring with the City’s Building Inspections Department personnel responsible for overseeing the plan reviews for signs, we maximized the space allowed, per that code.  We’re really happy that the teal and white pops out against the blue background of the wall structure.  Can’t wait til they open – “Time for Thai Tara Kitchen”.

February 24, 2016 | By | No Comments

EditedWOW Design has moved to the H-Mart Shopping Center in Carrollton.  Facing Old Denton Rd., this sign features internally illuminated individual channel letters and a capsule on an aluminum backer panel with wireway behind.  The first “W” in WOW was digitally printed.  Lit with white LEDs, this sign now provides them with a nice store front for their customers to visit when they have design needs.

QUILL – Dallas Design District

February 15, 2016 | By | No Comments

Quill – Dallas, Design District

20160307_143933IMG_1345 IMG_1346

QUILL, is the new swanky cocktail lounge that will be opening in Dallas’ Design District soon. Located adjacent to the infamous Oak Restaurant as well as PakPao Thai, this location on Oak Lawn Ave., is a beautifully renovated space that required a sophisticated yet beautiful sign to compliment the interiors of this space.

Quill’s main sign above the entrance features a reverse (halo) lit channel letter with routed faces which house the translucent gold vinyl overlaid plastic inserts that allow the gold to glow as well as the halo-effect around the letters when lit up at night.  We powder-coated the letters and screws to give it a nice matte black finish and to ensure that the paint does not fade over time.

The windows were wrapped in a metallic satin gold vinyl, which brings out the gold in the channel letters above and also gives a nice silhouette.

For the rear door/entrance area, we wrapped the windows with a matte black vinyl overlay and also fabricated and installed a small light box above their canopy.

FOX & HOUND Sports Tavern – Pylon Sign Refurbishment

February 12, 2016 | By | No Comments

Edited

FOX & HOUND Sports Tavern, located next in North Dallas on Frankford Road has been a neighborhood favorite for years.  The existing pole sign was in disrepair and so when their national sign company needed a local sign shop to take on the refurbishment of this pole sign, Giant Sign gladly accepted the task.

The project entailed surveys for measurements, coordinating with local sign inspectors, removing the old signage and wiring, patching the existing face panels and then installing the new signage as well as painting the entire pole structure black.  The 2 day turnaround for one of our crews was quick and the job was well done.  Stop by to check out out work and enjoy a beer or meal during a sports event while you’re at it.

Giant Sign has been in business over 30 years and it is still going strong!  Already have a national sign company to make your sign, but need a dependable sign company to handle the logistics locally, then give us a call.  We have and continue to work closely with the sign companies that national and international companies trust with their branding guidelines.  In most of our installation only programs, we coordinate confidentially on behalf of the other sign company the following tasks: read proposed plans, provide thorough surveys/photos, handle permitting, receive shipments, install and perform final inspections.  Give us a call for free consultation at (972)-247-4404.

Sign Type: Refacing/Refurbishment of Existing Pylon Sign.  Channel Letters were provided to us by another (out-of-state) sign company, but we provided surveys, removed existing signage, patched holes, painted the entire structure, installed and performed some electrical work on this sign as needed for the new configuration.

Fruitealicious – Carrollton inside of 99 Ranch Market

February 12, 2016 | By | No Comments

Completion Photo 2Completion Photo 1

Fruitealicious is now open and is serving its “Refreshment Redefined” drinks in the new 99 Ranch Market location in Carrollton (located on the Southeast corner of President George Bush Tollway and Old Denton Rd.).  A long-time customer of Giant Sign, we were able to provide a low cost sign for their new space which will be serving their famous bubble teas, smoothies and more.

The sign features a two layers of 1″ Gatorfoam, with the letters being digitally printed and routed to provide a 3D effect on top of the 1″ white backer.  We painted the sides of all the letters a darker orange that gives the letters even more pop.  Asked to provide more lighting since this space is in a darker corner of the supermarket, we fabricated lamp tracks and placed on top of the soffit below, giving them some needed light and glow.

Looking to add some jazz to your interior spaces with a branded sign like this one we did for Fruitealicious?  Perhaps you are wanting your logo on the wall behind your receptionist desk.  Send us your logo and give us a call for free consultation at (972) 247–4404.

Hypnotic Emporium Ice Cream – Dallas

February 11, 2016 | By | No Comments

20160210 11523420160210_115300IMG 1277IMG 1279Hypnotic Emporium Ice Cream, located next to the infamous Hypnotic Donuts on Garland Road near the south side of White Rock Lake, is opening soon and we were asked to fabricate and install this beautiful sign for their new store.  We actually made the Hypnotic Donuts sign for them many years ago and this new one for their ice cream venture definitely “one-up’d” that one.

The sign features a discontinued and difficult to find anodized brushed gold returns (we found the last batch in Atlanta, GA), along with a matching gold trimcap on an aluminum backplate with wireway, this slanted sign is small but pulls your eye, due to the angle of installation (on purpose of course).  We used our Samsung-chip based LEDs to internally illuminate this sign, so hopefully although it’s white, it will be brighter than most of the other signs on the strip at night (nothing will be brighter than the Hypnotic Donuts sign at night since that one was made with red neon).

Giant Sign has been in business over 30 years and it is still going strong!  It is always a pleasure to work with returning customers like Hypnotic.  Interested in starting a business, but you have no idea how to or where to inquire for a sign?
