One of our most recent projects came from the Saint Paul Association of Realtors, or SPAAR. They were looking to revamp an old sign outside their corporate office and asked us to create something for them. After discussing their specific needs and wants for the design and materials, we quickly got to work.
The pictures give two aspects of the sign, one closer up and one further away. The first picture gives a view of the sign as a whole and shows how it is to be lit with three strategically positioned floodlights at night. The second image focuses more on the depth and detail of the sign, and also the classic, smooth finish of the metal. All in all, the sign has a very modern appeal and aesthetically contrasts against its background to make it both impressive and noticeable.
Established in 1886, SPAAR is an association for realtors in the Saint Paul area. One of the main resources they offer their members is educational programs and courses that are available for a fee, and can be completed in person and online. They also promote various community service programs that aim to engage association members and give them a positive standing and image in their community. These resources help realtors expand their knowledge base and improve their relationships with both fellow realtors and the community.
To create this sign, we first started by laser cutting sheets of metal to their desired shapes. Once we had the four individual pieces, we cleaned up the metal and began working on a stencil for the lettering. On site, the metal pieces were mounted into place and individually cleaned. The stencil was then laid across the polished surface and we began attaching each letter. One each part was assembled and secured, we went over the entire sign and buffed out any smudges or fingerprints that were left.
It is very important for businesses and organizations to have proper signage. It shows customers and the community that you take pride in your business and its image. Cheap or poorly designed signs usually give off an unprofessional vibe and people will assume you are likely a less than desirable place to do business – something no owner wants. These signs are guides as well, telling customers that they have arrived in the right place. Finally, these signs also help reinforce your company in the minds of the community. They will see your name and logo on a regular basis, making you more relevant to the area and your business will likely seem more trustworthy to them.
