Scully designed display before re-furbish. Original top row letter faces were appliqué.
Acrylic over acrylic.
.
Over the years, somebody replaced the "AZ"
with
a different color acrylic, and new non matching neon. |
1.
The first step was to remove the old letter faces.
2.
Then all the neon, wiring and transformers.
3.
At the shop the trim cap was removed from the take
down letters in order to trace the original acrylic
outline for the all new clear acrylic letters. |

4.
On-site re-wiring, installation of the new neon
and all new transformers in the raceways.
The sign sheet metal was all re-painted white. |

.
The new colors were selected by the client.
For durability, the letters were 2nd surface decorated
with translucent vinyl.
5.
The 2nd surface re-furbish decoration procedure
was specified to protect the vinyl from the weather
and sun. The re-furbished sign met UL standard.
.
By leaving the metal on the wall, no new permit was
required. Shop time for this upgrade was under 10
days. 6.
On-site re-assembly of the new glass and faces was completed in one day.
The on-site cleaning and painting of the metal and
re-wiring was completed while the shop fabricated the
new faces and glass. |

Below is a
Mill Avenue, Tempe AZ existing display change over.

.
One display, 3 signs. A new tenant assumed the venue
in 2005. The project included a new identity and a new sign
configuration. The restaurant then moved to a larger
location in a local mall.
.
The 2nd tenant commissioned a logo and a sign in 2006.
.
The first sign sign conversion / change was the most
demanding. For the 2nd tenant, the savings was that the sign
structure had already been re-furbished and converted for
the CNC aluminum face configuration.
.
One of the municipal approval requirements was that the
existing structure could not be removed.
