With very few exceptions, every sign you see has been handcrafted as some point. Even with the technology we have available to us today, we still need a skilled craftsman to fabricate a sign. The Sign Authority, located in Wheaton, IL recently fabricated and installed this channel letter building sign for Moves Dance Studio, also located in Wheaton, IL.
When you think of a “handcrafted” sign, you might think of a hand painted sign on a piece of wood. But if you consider what goes in to the manufacturing of a sign you would think twice. Every sign, whether it is a printed sign or a fabricated aluminum channel letter sign, is touched my human hands and requires a level of craftmanship and skill to assemble. With the help of technology and channel letter bending machines, cutting plotters, etc. the process of building a sign is much easier, but still requires an actual person to put the pieces together.
Starting out with an idea of what you want your channel letter sign to look like on the building, what materials, colors and size, you need a professional designer to put together a mock up of the idea. There are places you can go to get a “standard” size, shape and color for your channel letter sign, and there is very little human involvement. Cookie cutter signs are fine if you are looking for something simple and don’t really care about standing out from the crowd or getting noticed with your sign.
On the other hand, if you are looking for something special to highlight your new business you would be wise to choose a sign company that will build your channel letter sign with a handcrafted touch.
