Three outstanding examples of modern sign design took the top spots in the International Sign Association [1]’s 2010 Sign Design Competition in Alexandria, Virginia.
The winners were in each category…
- Restaurant/Bar category – Kreg Lyles, from Young Electric Sign Co. [5] (YESCO), in Denver, Colorado, created the main entrance sign for the Twisted Olive [6] restaurant. The sign featured reverse pan channel letters with border neon on a radiused canopy structure. Neon also lit the signature olive logo.
- Entertainment Venue category – Sign Works Co. [7], Ltd., in Bangkok, Thailand, won for its design of the Hard Rock Café Phuket [8] sign. Stretching over 46’ tall, this 10,000-pound sign was the largest ever constructed by the company. Three engineers spent more than a month designing the structure, which was then fabricated and transported 1,000 miles to the installation site.
- Retail/Specialty category – Sign Designs [9]’ creation of Grow Marketing [10]’s sign in Joplin, Missouri, won for its combination of heavy and industrial sign materials with a clean and modern lettering. This double-sided blade sign was created on a custom corrugated metal background with a three dimensional tree and leaves. The tree was reverse halo lit and the leaves constructed of exposed neon green.
