Signs of my Time

So aside from the occasional doodle, drawing and other designs I post here on a regular basis, most of my time is spent playing with letters. That's right I elected years ago to pursue a fun and exciting career in signs. Click the photo below to view some of the work I've been a part of the last several years at Chesapeake Sign.

Site Survey Project #22 - Pink Grill

Source Photo - A roof mount channel letter set. Not much else to say except this is one of my favorites in this series.

Site Survey Project #21 - Fickle Picket

Source Photo - This was a revisit to a sign we had built and installed a few years prior. There was some maintenance required and this shot was noting the condition of the paint and wood. Nothing a fresh coat of paint won't fix.

Site Survey Project - #20 Open City

Site Survey Project - #18 American

Source Photo - An old sign at a veterans' hall. Hence the all American KFC color scheme. Everyone wants to update to a fancy new LED display until they find out how much they cost and that county code cracking down on animation or scrolling text makes them not so alluring anymore.

Site Survey Project - #17 Dulaney Blue

Source Photo - This is one of my favorites in this series. This was an existing sign that had a pipe bungee corded to the base of it. I presume they had some sort of flag or other sign they would stick in the pipe from time to time. This sign was pretty beat up. Located on a median at an entrance to a facility, I imagine it had multiple encounters with vehicles.

Site Survey Project - #13 Bed Red Sky

Source Photo - Another cabinet silhouetted against a sky with power running to it in the air. The face had fallen out of this one and the client confided in me the person who installed it was a crack head.

Site Survey Project - #11 Bonded Sky

This week most of these will be looking up a bit skyward.

Source Photo - An old exiting cabinet that had power run to it up in the air. Always wary of these old beasts. Wires silhouetted across a sky are always nice to look at though they make me a little nervous.

Site Survey Project - #6 Tavern

Source Photo - One of the taverns in town that was looking to update their old existing sign.

Site Survey Project - #5 Aliceanna

Source Photo - This is part of a custom sign we provided. I had to go back and resurvey it as the client had changed their logo and wanted to see about modifying or replacing this sign to reflect the new brand. This was one of the rare cases where the intent of the original sign was to be rough and worn rather than shiny and new.

Site Survey Project - #4 Tic Tan

Source Photo - A big interior illuminated cabinet that the client was considering retrofitting with LEDs. A costly proposition that was never implemented.
