When we were first contacted by the Facilities Manager at East Bay SPCA we were told that there had been some damage to the existing concrete monument sign affecting only one side of it. Replacement lettering to mirror the font and size of what was on the reverse side, would be needed. SignWorks immediately engaged our preferred wholesale supplier, Gemini to help identify the pictured font. Armed with precise measurements for the “EAST BAY SPCA” in 7 ¼ inch tall and ½ inch thick black acrylic letters and the smaller address (4651 GLEASON DRIVE) lettering in 3 inches tall letters that are ¼ inch thick, we began the proofing process. It was important to match the font and placement on the reverse side of the sign so as to preserve the integrity of the sign itself.
As you can see from the photo the lettering was installed such that any sign of the previous damage was not apparent. Other than some pesky bees that decided to hang out during the installation, we are pleased to report the completion of a successful project!
