Our Own Big Top If there’s one thing that makes us happier than the circus coming to town, it’s when signage receives the recognition it deserves. Imagine our surprise when signage and the “big top” converged at the opening of the Cincinnati Art Museum’s “The Amazing American Circus Poster” exhibition. Organized by the Cincinnati Art Museum and the John and Mable Ringling Museum of Art, this exhibition showcases the work of Cincinnati-based Strobridge Lithographing Co., a leading printer at the turn of the 20th Century. The exhibit features 80 posters, all created between 1878 and 1939. The exhibition will remain in Cincinnati until July 10, when it will travel to the Ringling Museum of Art in Sarasota, FL.

“Guid Gear” for Scotland’s Parliament Ayr, Scotland’s Owen Kerr Signs completed its commission to produce signage for various committee rooms for Scotland’s Parliament building. Kerr says Parliamentary officials contacted him about producing signs that provide background inspiration about such legendary Scots as poet (and Ayr native) Robert Burns, the Auld Lang Syne author; scientist Alexander Fleming, who discovered the penicillin vaccine; and economist Adam Smith, who wrote The Wealth of Nations. The simple, but elegant, environmental graphics feature an image of each historical figure, with brief biographies in English and Gaelic. The signs comprise oak backplates; polished acrylic panels with reverse, thermaltransfer graphics; and stainless-steel standoffs. Ayr’s Parliamentary representative, John Scott, said, “I am delighted to offer Owen Kerr Signs my congratulations. And, it’s highly appropriate the Burns Room sign was produced by an Ayr company.” SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

Letters I’ve just had the company P.O. box mail forwarded to my house. So, for the first time in a couple of years, I read an issue of ST. And, as was my habit in times past, the first thing I did was turn to the editorial page and read Wade’s editorial. Wade, you’ve still got it. Your editorial is still, by far, the best part of the magazine. I’m sure your forefathers are looking down from heaven, bursting with pride (and maybe even a little bit of envy). I wish I’d been as good at my job as you are at yours. –Steve Metheny (retired), Birmingham, AL I recently read (Theresa Jackson’s) article in the recent February issue relating to Vectors and Bitmaps. Very interesting and to the point. Look forward to reading your articles in future issues. Keep up the good writing. Thank you so much! – Hasu Patel, Atlanta Hi Darek! I just read your “Bauhaus” column in the March issue. I have been intrigued by the movement ever since I began design school in 2001.

All That Glitters Chicago’s shimmering sign, biker art and urban legends If the story is true – and I think it could be – I’ll bet the surviving fishermen cringe every time they hear the drone of an airplane. Or the moo of a cow.

Y ou can’t live long on this planet before you get some bad (falling cow) news. Most of us learned this at age two, when a parent first said “no” and meant it. Other “fallingcow” situations followed, especially, perhaps, when we entered junior high school. To me, algebra was a falling cow. Disruptive technologies are falling cows. Consider, for example, the impact of LCD screens to televisiontube makers, or cell telephones to landline operators – or unmanned, aerial vehicles to Al Qaeda picnic planners. Because newness passes, new technology is always of the moment. Obviously, all tools and processes were once new technology and, other than society’s imposed time/ date stamp, many of these remain valuable. Sliced bread, for example, or Craftsman socket-wrench sets. Photos: Liz Cunningham

I think the falling-cow story, my favorite urban legend, is much more believable than, say, the concrete-filled convertible or hookin-the-car-door narratives. Remember the falling-cow story? An air-cargo crew, for unsaid reasons, loads a cow that spooks after takeoff – it rips loose and commences to wreck the aircraft’s interior. Cows can weigh up to 600 lbs. – possibly more when angry. One story account says the aircrew was Russian. In my mind, it was a USAF C-130E aircrew, because I’ve worked with those guys. They’ll fly anything, anywhere. They’ll also toss anything overboard, to save the aircraft. If you’ve seen the film Air America, you’ve seen the lifestyle. The legend says the aircrew quickly made an “aircraft-over-cow” decision – they dropped the C-130E’s load ramp, then herded the clattering cow aft until, horror-struck, it tumbled from the wind-swept ramp. The legend says the falling cow landed on, and sank, a small Asian fishing boat. It says the fishermen leaped overboard, just in time.

Chicago’s Target signface, designed for viewing from the city’s Transit Authority train, comprises 200,000 SolaRay® discs that vibrate and shimmer when the train passes by. 12 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

Therefore, a creative sign designer or builder shouldn’t hesitate to lope backwards and forwards through time, to grasp the best ideas and processes of any era – hand-crafted brushwork over computer-cut vinyl, for example – or wind-shimmered spangles to animate a signface. Chicago’s shimmering sign Chicago-based, business journalist Liz Cunningham recently reported on Chicago’s new (Broadway and Wilson St.), Target store sign. The gigantic – 260-ft. wide by 15.5 ft. high – sign was designed for viewing from Chicago’s Transit Authority (CTA) trains. It shimmers in the wind, Liz writes, when the trains pass by. You’ve seen spangle-decked billboards in Orlando or Atlantic City, right? And, you may have seen the shimmering, sequin-covered Chanel No. 5 bottle outside Paris’ Musee d’Orsay. It made fashion-magazine news last year. But, surely, a railroad-track-bordering sign, that shimmers as the train passes by, is lowtech animation at its highest point. CTA hosts 1.7 million riders on

an average weekday. The 9,000-lb. signface comprises 4,030, translucent, 12-in.-square SolaRay® panels that back 200,000 SolaRay discs. The loosely mounted discs, constructed of reflective, plasticized metal, vibrate and shimmer in the breeze. Radiant Mfg. (Margate, FL) makes the SolarRay discs. You can order 0.75- or 1.5-in.-diameter discs in either circle or octagon shapes. Radiant will also manufacture custom shapes or colors. It provides a five-year, limited warranty against color fade or disc separation. Reflecto-Lite (Coquitlam, BC, Canada) sells a similar product. Target’s art department designed the sign, and then passed its file to Mike Downey of The Precision Group (TPG) Management, a Chicago-based, nationwide, installation company. Downey partnered with MK Signs, Inc., (Chicago) to engineer and fabricate the sign. Six installers needed five days for installation. It also required a flagman, to slow the trains. Liz quoted Downey: “In my 22 years in the photo and digitalimaging business, I’ve not seen a structural sign this size. It’s almost as long as a football field.” Ride the CTA’s elevated orange line north to Howard St., or south to the Loop, Liz said, to see Chicago’s shimmering, Target sign. 14 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

This metal-flake covered 1994 Harley-Davidson, with a paint scheme designed by Cincinnati artist Jim Farr (“Dauber”), was originally built by custom-car builder Daren Schafer. His dad, Lou, also a custom builder, sprayed and finished the metal-flake paint. Dauber designed the flames, handpainted the cigar-smoking woodpecker and the motorcycle’s other artwork. Duane Toney owns the bike. Dauber said the metal-flake paint, overall, might be 1⁄8 in. thick. It’s a series of color-sanded, clear-lacquer coats, but only the first few coats comprise aluminum flakes, the remaining (8 to 10 in all) coats create the depth illusion. The red-feathered, cigar-smoking woodpecker is Clay Smith racing cams’ logo that was once as popular as the Rat Fink and Moon Eyes symbols. The background painting is part of Rossen Crow’s “Myth of the American Motorcycle” collection.

Bikers in Cincinnati’s museum Talk about falling-cow surprises. Last fall, Cincinnati’s Contemporary Arts Center (CAC) presented a joint showing of decorated, custom motorcycles and biker-themed oil paintings. Cincinnati’s Dr. Stanley M. Kaplan, MD, psychiatrist, teacher and the CAC’s chair, suggested the motorcycle exhibit. He has traveled the U.S., Alaska, Canada and Nova Scotia on a Honda Gold Wing. The motorcycles’ paint schemes were designed and pinstriped by Jim Farr (aka, “Dauber”), a prominent, Cincinnati artist who specializes in automobile and motorcycle decoration. Although he’s one of America’s top pinstripers, Dauber also produces landscape paintings, illustrations, goldleaf and other artwork. Dauber’s automotive-design career began in 1968, with dragrace car embellishments. Hot Rod, Drag Racing, and Airbrush Action magazines, as well as ST, have since featured his work. The National Hot Rod Assn.’s Hall of Fame inducted him in 2006. Accompanying the motorcycles was artist Rossen Crow’s collection of seven, large, oil paintings, titled “Myth of the American Motorcycle. ” The paintings represent her view of America’s biker culture. Rossen earned her

BFA from New York’s School of Visual Arts and an MFA from Yale’s School of Art. She has exhibited in Los Angeles, Paris, London and New York City. Dauber said the museum-exhibited motorcycle paint jobs pay homage to 9/11, the Vietnam War, the Civil War and ancient Egypt. For example, an exhibited, jadegreen Harley-Davidson FXSTS featured art-nouveau styled, goldleaf images of the Egyptian goddesses Isis and Nephthys, on opposing sides of the gas tank. The bike’s front fender displayed a multi-color, abstract image of ancient Egypt’s sacred scarab. The rear fender featured the Egyptian sky god, Horus. All of the bike’s artwork was applied on top of 22K goldleaf, Dauber said. The CAC is a contemporary-art museum that exhibits painting, sculpture, photography, architecture, performance art and new media. Raphaela Platow is CAC’s director and chief curator. Justine Ludwig, CAC’s assistant curator, managed the motorcycle exhibit. Dauber reverse-lettered a tiny, esoteric message on the Egyptianthemed bike’s tank underside that, reflected from the chrome air cleaner, said, “The road goes on forever.” True. But one should also listen for the moos. n

“With so many different types of signage and graphics in one location, we consider this job a showcase of our capabilities.”

By Steve Aust

A Graphic Power Play A Quebec shop produces a hat trick for a Canadian hockey-gear chain.

Thockey hroughout most of the U.S., is considered a peripheral sport. Ardent fans reside along the Eastern seaboard and in the upper Midwest, but support for warmclimate teams in Phoenix, Tampa Bay and Dallas can be fickle at best. However, hockey permeates Canadian culture. My one trip north in 2001 occurred during the National Hockey League’s (NHL) Stanley Cup finals. Procuring a drink at the hotel bar during Game 7 required navigating through a more densely packed and frenzied crowd than any I’ve experienced at a Super Bowl gathering. So, although May usually triggers Americans to initiate summer plans, in Canada, it means

the NHL playoffs have hit high gear. The Philadelphia Flyers, Detroit Red Wings and other top teams vie for Lord Stanley’s Cup and the ceremonial drink of champagne from the championship trophy’s bowl. Pro Hockey Life (PHL) is a Canadian equipment and apparel chain founded in 1973. In 2007, its parent company, Sports Gilbert Rousseau (SGR), decided to expand PHL’s presence as a hockey-gear megastore across Canada. The theme? “Live the Game.” Marc Chapleau Designer, SGR’s commercial design firm, recommended Groupe BO Concepts (GBC) Anjou, QC, Canada, an environmentalgraphics fabricator, for the project.

Groupe BO Concepts (GBC) Anjou, QC, Canada, fabricated a comprehensive environmental-graphics program for Pro Hockey Life (PHL), a Canadian hockey-equipment and paraphernalia chain. Each store’s graphic focal point comprises a 22-ft.-diameter, red ring, which GBC decorated with NHL team logos using FLEXcon’s BusMark film. 16 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

Since the plan’s inception, GBC has completely rebranded five existing stores, and produced signage and graphics for 15 new locations. Each of the 20 store’s environmental-graphics packages required 175 signs, which ranged from 5-in.-diameter, NHL decals to 12 x 80-ft. banners stretched over aluminum frames. “The goal of the project was to create an innovative, commercial design, while working with such major partners as Bauer, Nike, Reebok, CCM and Warrior, to enhance the consumers’ shopping experience,” said Pierre Lachapelle, GBC’s sales and marketing director. Each graphic evolved from more than 100 image files, supplied by the respective vendors, which GBC cropped to fit each store’s configuration for each brand’s display spaces. The team used Adobe Illustrator and customized PSD (Austin, TX) information-management software to craft the campaign’s content. For curb appeal, GBC created more than 2,000 sq. ft. of murals for the store’s exterior. The shop printed graphics on Ultraflex 13-oz., mattefinish, frontlit banner material on an HP Scitex XP2700 UV-cure-ink, roll-to-roll printer. Lachapelle says the shop does no full-solvent-ink printing because of the inks’ high VOC content. To support the exterior murals, GBC implemented its in-house Meli-BO framing system that, according to the company, allows even tension across the banner’s surface and seamless graphic changeouts. Creating customer buzz inside the store required a multifaceted plan as aggressive as a power-play surge toward the goal. A bright-red, 22-ft.diameter, suspended ring hangs high above store shelves. GBC decorated the rings with the logos of all 30 NHL teams using FLEXcon’s BusMark

GBC also fabricated several suspended, 5-ft.-diameter, rotating cylinders with aluminum frames covered with flexible, digitally printed, PVC panels. A small motor rotates the cylinder. “We produced the graphics with the understanding that they would be retrofitted frequently,” he said.

GBC printed behemoth, exterior-wall murals using Ultraflex 13-oz., matte-finish material. It output the graphics on an HP Scitex XP2700 UV-curable-ink printer. GBC’s Meli-BO banner-framing system secures the graphics.

For many of the stores’ interior perimeters, GBC implemented its proprietary Magne-BO graphic system, which comprises a permanent, magnetic backer covered with magnet-receptive, printable media. The printed film rolls over the backer (both the backer and media are laid flat for at least one hour at

room temperature prior to installation) and can be replaced quickly with new graphics. Altogether, the shop used the magnetic-graphic system to create more than 3,000 sq. ft. of murals per store. For the textured, concrete walls, GBC used 3M’s IJ-8624 texturedsurface film. The shop used Clear

The Vanier (QC) PHL location required 3,000 sq. ft. of perforated vinyl. “The biggest challenge of the job was coordinating the logistics of graphics for all five sponsors to make sure all were handled efficiently,” Lachapelle said. “With so many different types of signage and graphics in one location, we consider this job a showcase of our capabilities.” To supplement the branding provided by the vinyl-graphic system, GBC also fabricated such pieces as Nike’s signature swoosh as a 7-ft.-long, 5-in.-thick piece from high-gloss, white acrylic, and

letters for PHL’s skate shop with lettering router-cut from PVC sheet and laminated with mirror-finish, pressure-sensitive film. GBC also incorporated LED-lit, 1⁄2-in.-thick, POP lightboxes that highlight PHL’s broad product repertoire. GBC required five- or six-week turnarounds to deliver each store’s graphics, and DesignGold Contracting Inc. (Toronto) installed each store’s graphics in approximately one week. n

Sondra Hill came into my shop and wanted to purchase a 4 x 4-ft. sign for her father, who owns a baitand-tackle shop in Honduras. She’d grown up in Honduras, married a Marine and moved to the U.S. Sondra found me through a web search, and wanted a distinctive, 3-D sign. The “information superhighway” has become a very effective sales tool. Sondra wanted a panel that featured her father as a caricature. I asked for a picture of him and began producing a hand sketch. I created the other elements using CorelDraw 11. Her father is an avid fisherman, so that presented a natural theme. And, for a dose of good-natured humor, in the background I added a dolphin, which mocks the caricature because the fish aren’t biting.

Mike Bethune, who’s sandblasted and handcarved signs for 25 years, produced this 4 x 4-ft. sign for Sondra Hill, a native of Honduras whose father still lives there. Sondra sent the sign to her father, an avid fisherman and bait-shop owner.

I plotted the pattern, using a Master™ TC 3000 vinyl plotter on Anchor Continental 226 high-tack stencil film, and applied it to the substrate – 1.5-in.-thick, 15-lb.

Mike achieved the sign’s texture by sandblasting for 45 minutes at 80 psi using a homemade grain frame. He separately carved the appliqué on HDU and bonded it to the surface using Gorilla Glue.

I’m impartial). They’re superior to wood because they won’t rot or split; they carve consistently and absorb paint better. I sandblasted the panel using a Smith 100 large air compressor and a 300-lb. sandpot filled with Dupont’s Starblast™ staurolite-sand abrasive. It was created to fabricate steel components and remove rust from bridges, but I’ve found Starblast blasts through HDU cleanly and effectively. I blasted at 80 psi for 45 minutes to achieve the desired depth. To create fine details, I used a mixture of chisels, sanders, saws and a Dremel tool. To create the texture, I built my own grain frame. I think the commercially available versions create a surface texture that’s too uniform and doesn’t resemble real wood. An uneven pattern, with the occasional dimple or divot, looks more authentic. To create the caricatured face,

I carved an appliqué using HDU that’s bonded to the panel’s surface with Gorilla Glue. I decorated the signface with Color Wheel’s acryliclatex paint, which I use for all my signs. However, there’s one exception: when a job requires gold paint, I coat with a different vendor’s latex product.

It’s better than what my competitors use, so I’m keeping it a secret. I only use vinyl on removable nameplates or if the customer requires it. Normally, when I ship signs, I pack them in a plywood frame secured with 2 x 4s and sheathed in bubble wrap. But, Sondra will ship her father the sign, so I was spared creating a

heavy-duty crate that would travel several thousand miles. I love that every day brings unique opportunities. I’m proud of the small part I’ve played in helping make Tampa a more beautiful place.

Calibration and the Life of an LED Sign Nit picking, one way to reduce energy costs and extend display life

Iandn January, I stood in an NFL facility studied several two-season-old, video-replay boards that presented a white background image. The white had a distinct red color shift and, worse, the screens’ surfaces looked like a patchwork quilt. In less than two years, with an operating time of less than 150 hours, these multimillion-dollar, NFL screens were essentially decalibrated, meaning the LED lamps’ output had progressively detuned until the lamp units were mismatched, i.e., out of calibration. Was the screen a bad product? Not necessarily. The rarely spoken truth is that all light-emitting-diode (LED) signs and screens lose calibration over time. LEDs can be as different from one another as snowflakes, and each is a unique entity that dims at a different level. As they varyingly dim, the overall screen image loses

• Stress management (the rate at which the diodes are impacted by current). Accumulated dirt certainly isn’t a result of decalibration, but it’s the first and easiest problem to address when a display image appears patchy. Dirt tends to accumulate at an LED board’s edges, and along the cracks and seams between the panels. Thus, a dusty- or dirty-faced display closely resembles a decalibrated display. Accumulated dirt can block various LED optics, especially when the display is presenting white or light-colored images. Consequently, each individual LED board may appear distinctly different, rather than part of, the unified screen, and this imparts a patchwork-quilt effect. The dirt effect is most serious in urban displays where, because of pedestrian traffic, it may not be possible to clean the displays regu-

uniformity and visual consistency. Further, the three primary colors’ (red, green and blue) lumen-depreciation patterns differ. The blue diodes dim fastest, followed by green and then red. For example, an older display that has lost much of its calibration exhibits a red shift; thus, white appears as pink. Three major factors affect the calibration and overall image of a LED display: • Dirt and debris on the display face; • Thermal management (heat distribution and dissipation); 28 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

larly. You can diminish the problem by coating the display face with an electro-static dissipater that repels dust and airborne debris. Once clean, the display can be calibration-level assessed. To repeat my earlier comment: all LED displays lose calibration over time – it’s known as lumen depreciation. New-display calibration levels Surprisingly, most LED-display manufacturers don’t calibrate their boards prior to shipment. Scott Harris, a senior engineer who helped develop

the calibration technology for Radiant Imaging (Redmond, WA), cautions, “Of the 250 suppliers of LED screens in the world, only about 30 factorycalibrate their signs before shipping.” Radiant’s calibration system is the gold standard in LED-calibration devices. Other LED-display suppliers rely upon the manufacturer’s binning process, which separates each LED lamp by color and then brightness. While this procedure is sufficient for a simple display, it’s not viable for such critical-use displays as video screens, outdoor-advertising displays or other applications where color consistency is important. An uncalibrated display isn’t a good place to start, especially before routine use begins to degrade image quality. Further, a manufacturer that shortcuts calibration should otherwise ensure effective thermal management and stress reduction, because such negligence exacerbates future lumen-depreciation problems. Heat’s impact on calibration Most LED-display businesspeople know that heat isn’t an LED’s friend. But most users don’t understand that temperature consistency across the display face is as important as the temperature itself. For example, many screens have surface hot spots in the heat-generating-components’ area and, in some zones, internal components block the cooling air. You may also discover locales that suffer from inconsistent ventilation because of over-cooling. Uneven ventilation can create display sections with a greater prevalence of recalibration. Stress and electrical current impact Because color diodes have distinctive, operating-current requirements, every diode’s driving current is critical. The current requirement can also vary for differently binned diodes. Further, the

forward-electric current per diode needs to be moderate and, as well, below the point at which a diode degrades. Diodes require a precise current magnitude to achieve the lumen target, and an overly vigorous current could cause overheating and, in time, destroy the active-junction region. Such degradation eventually dims the light output, with, however, each diode dimming at its own rate.

display calibration; other solutions may produce inconsistent results. Don’t despair, however, if you don’t have a Radiant Imaging-calibrated display, because you can help minimize the lumen-depreciation level: • Lower the display brightness level. Most displays have a higher-than-necessary nit rating, due to the illumination increase provided by the latest generation of LEDs. The true value of this increased illumination isn’t the brightness-level gain because, in most daylight conditions, it’s nearly impossible to distinguish displays operating at 6,000 or 8,000 nits. However, degradation and the lumen-depreciation impact is directly proportionate to the illumination level. Meanings, if you have a display capable of

9,000 nits and operate it at 6,000 nits, you’ll get a longer lifespan and a more consistent image. • I f you don’t have a 24-hour audience, operate your display only when the audience is available. When an LED is turned off, it’s not measurably degrading. The simplest task, however, is to periodically clean your display. If the screen is clean, dirt particles can’t impede the optics. Further, a clean display doesn’t require as much illumination to accomplish the same image presentation. The future Field-display recalibration technology now exists, and this type of work is generally requested by such premier, video-screen consulting groups as Anthony James Partners

(AJP). AJP (Richmond, VA) acts as an owner’s representative and obligates to its clients – and mandates to its selected vendors – that any AJP-overseen installed display that isn’t adequately calibrated, must be recalibrated on-site, by Radiant Imaging, at the vendor’s expense. To date, two vendors have purchased Radiant Imaging remote-calibration equipment; one employs a trained technical staff to operate it. I believe that field calibration will become commonplace in subsequent years. The digital presentation of advertising copy is expensive for the sponsor and valuable to the display owner. Also, ad-dollar competition will mandate well-maintained displays. Likewise, sports-venue, videoreplay systems must be kept in

optimal condition. A video screen system is a hefty expenditure for any venue; thus, on-site recalibration, which extends the screen life, is a worthwhile expenditure. Harris said the world counts 250 manufacturers of LED displays; the number reflects the ease of producing one. The parts are readily available, and you can access construction details online. If you buy or sell LED displays, this column should serve as a mandate to update your product knowledge and your product’s various technical aspects. I’ll summarize by asking you to remember, only 12% of LED-display producers calibrate their units before shipping, and underscore that such avoidance identifies the most critical point to investigate before you invest – or reinvest – in this powerful technology. n

SIGN MUSEUM NEWS

Tod Swormstedt is the president/founder of the American Sign Museum (Cincinnati).

By Tod Swormstedt

American Pickers We’re Not The romantic notion of Tod cruising the country for signs is just that.

IThe’m visitor often asked, “How do you get all these signs?” usually begins to answer his own question: “Do you buy them on eBay? Do people call you and say they have a sign for you? Are they donated? Do you drive around like American Pickers?” All apply – except the American Picker method. The idea that I drive around the country looking for signs is just a romantic notion. The museum doesn’t have the money, or the time. Increasingly, people call the museum to tell us about a sign for sale or set for the wrecking ball. Or, it may be a sign from the caller’s family business that has succumbed to the economy. Whatever the case, I’ve learned the more I chase a sign, the less likely I’ll succeed. The best signs sometimes fall in our lap. I don’t know if I can attribute it to clean living . . . maybe just good vibes. Two signs acquired – ostensibly for our “Signs of Cincinnati” wall in the new home – provide great exam-

With help from United-Maier Signs, Tod procured the Big Top sign (above), which identified a long-defunct restaurant in Mason, OH, after a years-long quest to track down the owner. Jim “Dauber” Farr informed Tod about the Suder’s Art Store sign, which was removed from a downtown Cincinnati shop after approximately 70 years. 34 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

ples. The first sign, from Big Top, a long-closed, independent burger joint in Mason, OH, is an example of a chase. The second example, from Suder’s Art Store, is a classic local sign that I had no inkling would ever come down. But, now it sits in the museum’s restoration shop. The “Big Top” saga traces back six years ago, when I first began receiving phone calls and e-mails about this cool sign on a boarded-up building. To find the owner, I called the city of Mason and contacted other area businesses. I got the owner’s name, and was told he owned a number of pizza establishments. I called several of them asking to speak to the owner. He was never there. Employees offered to take messages, but wouldn’t give out his number. Never a return call. Late last year, the property was listed for sale. The realtor facilitated talking to the owner in person. After six years, and with help from our friends at UnitedMaier Signs, we acquired the sign. But, time had taken its toll. In 2005, the paint on the sheetmetal was still in relatively good shape. But, six years later, almost no paint remained. Typically, we don’t like to repaint signs we acquire. Even worse, a huge crease marred the bottom cabinet of the three-tiered sign. A truck had probably backed into the hapless icon. Its entire structural integrity had been compromised. United-Maier removed it in one piece, and the sign sits in their shop, awaiting its future. The “Suder’s” sign proceeded differently. It had hung since the late 1930s on this well-known family business in the Over-the-Rhine area of Cincinnati. Once a thriving community, Over-the-Rhine had suffered urban decay. Somehow, the business persevered in supplying lettering enamel, brushes and goldleaf. In the last five years, the area experienced redevelopment, and the neighborhood shows signs of new vitality. But, the sign continued to experience the typical decay of a sheetmetal, neon sign. The owners decided to remove it – unbeknownst to the museum. Dauber (aka Jim Farr), a well-known auto pinstriper and gilder, told us about the sign’s removal. He said customers told the Suder family to donate the sign to the museum. They agreed. To sweeten the deal, Dauber offered to donate a new sign for the business, which he’ll design in the style of the original. The sign awaits neon repair and rewiring. The chipped paint and rusted sheetmetal – the sign’s earned patina – will remain. The neon will be replaced and glow once again. An era of the sign’s history ends, but its future is secure. n

Neon transformer calculations Don’t forget to thoroughly check the supply side.

M ost neon installations I inspect fail or are prone to premature failures because of an incorrect powersupply system, not because of the actual neon tubes. Intentionally, I call it the “power supply system” which, for me, includes the wiring from the electrical main’s fuse panel and from the transformer to the tubes. Electronic �� power supplies for neon tubes are explicitly not free from such considerations; however, they are a bit different. The “one size fits all” mentality, much more common in the U.S. than Europe, is technically unacceptable �� and more harmful than good. The open-circuit voltage/ Initial starting voltage This is the voltage needed to first start the neon tube(s) in the highvoltage circuit. This is an absolute minimum value the transformer needs to provide for the sign to light up. Any circumstances may increase this value (for example: cold weather, tubes aged with time, or low main’s supply voltage), but this threshold level must be met. Thus, this value is critical; it must be calculated to determine the correct transformer dimension in secondary volts. Remember, the current rating (common values are 30, 60, 120mA) provides the shortcircuit current on the secondary

terminals and merely represents the brightness per tube length in the installation. Numerous methods can calculate this voltage for the given neon circuits. Calculations must be made for every circuit separately to obtain proper values. Loading charts One common method is with “loading charts” provided by most transformer manufacturers. However, they’re very rough, because they’re not uniform. Sometimes they only apply to one brand and model. Also, most manufacturers try to suggest “their” transformers will “pull more tubing” than other brands. Therefore, only view them as very rough guidelines. Independent charts can be seen at www.neonshop.com/Tech/ charts.html. For all calculations and estimates, prepare a list with each tube’s diameter; the stretched length between the electrode front ends in feet, inches or cm (depending on chart or formula); and fill-gas type (red or blue). Assume all tubes have the same diameter and gas fill. Add up all the lengths for tubes to be connected to one transformer. Next, find the table’s row or column for the given tube diameter and select the next-largest footage value above your total. The table provides the corresponding

transformer voltage. Remember, it’s a very rough estimate and, sometimes, you need to read the fine print. The exact way For more than 15 years, I have tried, and experimentally verified, many ways to calculate the correct voltage requirements to start a neon tube. Here’s my favorite (issued by the German “Fachverband Lichtwerbung” in a 1996 guide paper on neon tube manufacturing): For each tube, take the diameter (column) and gas fill (row), and take the value from Table 1, which is volts (RMS) per inch. Note that “indoors/outdoors” refers to average European or mid-U.S. temperatures. Multiply the value from the table with the straight length between the front ends of the electrodes (with ½-in. precision). To this result, add the electrode voltage drop according to: • For neon gas (red fill), indoors and outdoors: 300V • Argon + mercury (blue gas), indoors: 250V • Argon + mercury (outdoors/cold climate): 300V Multiply the sum of the gas and electrode requirement by 1.05 (which adds a 5% reserve for tube aging). The result is the RMS, noload voltage the transformer must supply. Repeat for each tube, then add all the voltage values for the tubes within a given circuit. That will yield the minimum transformer voltage. Choose the next possible value, which never should be more than 15% higher than the calculated value (or the transformer may run too hot, which shortens its life). I recommend having standard forms for such calculations (Figure 1) or a spreadsheet where only the

LIGHTING TECHNIQUES layout data has to be entered. Easy-to-use programs for correct calculations are available on manufacturer-independent shareware, at http://www.neonshop.com/calc/ index.html, for example. The periodic restart voltage (magnetic transformers only) This voltage is necessary to “re” start neon tubes after the main alternating voltage has crossed zero for changing polarity (and the tubes have been extinguished for a fraction of a second). This voltage level is usually lower than the “initial start-up voltage.” If this (minimum) voltage limit is not met (but the initial limit is exceeded), the tubes will start, but flicker in operation. The value of this periodic-restart voltage depends on many parameters, but exact calculation would exceed this column’s limitations. However, when a high-voltage circuit contains only one or two neon units pumped with red gas (pure neon), the transformer’s opencircuit voltage should be 10-20% higher than the value calculated for the initial-startup voltage. The tube operating voltage Each gas-discharge tube requires a lower voltage to sustain the electric discharge after the tube has started

Figure 1: Typical transformer calculation form sheet (the exact way) with example calculations.

(see ST, June 2006, page 28). You can measure it with a high-voltage voltmeter across the tube in operation (always be safe when measuring in high-voltage circuits!). The operating voltage is best described in a chart by the German Gerhard Gut (Figure 2). (see ST, August 2008, page 48.) The main’s supply-line losses Don’t overlook the voltage drop in the supply line from the panel to the sign. In many cases, this requires selecting a transformer with a higher secondary voltage than calculations suggest – to ensure proper operation without

flickering. Here’s a sample calculation. A sign might have five secondary circuits with minimum starting voltages of 7,900, 8,800, 8,200, 8,200 and 8,400 for five sets of tubes. The wire length from the sign to the electrical panel is 200 ft., and the existing wire from an old sign is AWG 12 size. We will choose all 9,000V/60mA transformers. Each (low power factor) transformer will draw a primary current of 4.7 Amps at 110V on the primary side, which yields a total main’s current of 23.5 Amps for the sign (which is legal, according to the National Electrical

Code, Article 600.5 B(1) for neon, but not for other sign-type circuits). The wire has AWG 12 copper conductors in 200 ft. of conduit, so the total wire length for hot and neutral together will be 400 ft. Wire tables say coated-copper AWG 12 has a resistance of 2.05 ohms per 1,000 ft. So, our supply wire has a total resistance of 0.82 Ohms. This doesn’t sound unusual at first. But, at 23.5 Amps, Ohm’s Law dictates that, at 0.82 Ohms, we have a voltage drop of 19.27V (23.5 x 0.82). From the 110V at the panel, only 90.73V (110 - 19.27) will be measured at the primary transformer terminals. This is 17.5% less than nominal. Or, in other words, when the transformer puts out 9,000V with 110V at the primary terminals, at 90.7V, the output will be only 7,423V. This is insufficient for our circuits. The tubes won’t light up at all or, if they do, they’ll flicker. A nominal,

10,000V transformer would generate 8,500V, which still isn’t sufficient for all circuits. For the circuit with an 8,800V minimum voltage, you’d need to choose an 11,000 or 12,000V type. The only other option would be to run new, much-larger-size wire from the panel through the building to the sign, an enormous material and labor cost. If this voltage-drop

calculation didn’t occur before sign erection, the result could be disappointing, with a higher, later cost. Always check a neon sign’s highvoltage parameters, and also the supply side thoroughly. n To read other related articles on this topic, visit www.signweb. com/lighting and www.signweb. com/neon.

Mutoh’s SpectroVue VM-10 Spectrophotometer For accurate colors, add the VM-10 to Mutoh’s ValueJet 1608HS hybrid printer. Key Information Mutoh America Inc. 2602 South 47th St. Ste. 102 Phoenix, AZ 85034 (480) 968-7772 www.mutoh.com

W ant to see a digital-signshop operator cringe? Just hear a client say, “Oh, and the colors need to match.” The phrase strikes fear into the hearts of large-format printmakers everywhere – and for good reason – color management is probably the leading irritant in modern, digital-print shops. The reason? Matching colors isn’t easy. Lighting affects color interpretation, and such machine factors as ink and media variances also directly influence color output. To this, add idiosyncratic metamerism (where two colors appear the same under one light source, but not another), color-space conversions, out-of-gamut colors, device-dependent/independent calibrations, and the scientific fact that nothing, really, has color – it’s all about light wavelengths reflecting off objects … So, to produce color-accurate prints, create an onthe-spot print profile – a data file that represents your printer, paper and ink fusion via a printed test chart and, as a result, provides a series of custom settings that produces the best print results for the then-inplace appurtenances. Having recognized the color-profiling issue, Mutoh responded by offering its patent-pending, SpectroVue VM-10 color-calibration instrument that attaches to the Mutoh ValueJet 1608HS Hybrid, bio-ink printer. Developed by Mutoh’s Phoenix-based Advanced Engineering Group, the SpectroVue is a miniature spectrophotometer that connects to the ValueJet 1608HS printhead, to help automate color calibration. The system is supported by Onyx Graphics’ ProductionHouse and RIPCenter Mutoh Edition software. Essentially, a spectrophotometer separates white, or “polychromatic” light, into discrete wavebands, then measures the relative intensity of each waveband. The VM-10’s DP1 spectral sensor separates white light into 42 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

Company Profile: Founded in 1953, Mutoh Industries Ltd. (Tokyo) initially manufactured and distributed mechanical-drafting products. It soon produced automatic drafting/plotting machines (which became the forerunners of today’s cutting plotters) and, in 1995, built and marketed Japan’s first large-format inkjet printer for outdoor applications, the 54-in.-wide RJ-1300 and 72-in.-wide RJ1800. Many innovative print and cutting products have followed. Today, ISO 9000-certified Mutoh comprises three core businesses: Graphics, which focuses on large-format inkjet printers; CAD-peripheral equipment, which offers inkjet plotters, pen plotters and full-color scanners; and consumables and supplies, which provides materials for the firm’s many customers. The company’s key engineering, manufacturing and distribution centers reside in Japan, the U.S. and Belgium. Mutoh America is located in Phoenix, AZ. At a Glance: Mutoh’s SpectroVue VM-10 spectrophotometer incorporates its DP1 spectral sensor, a high-resolution digital prism that converts visible light to a digital spectrum. It provides both spectral and colorimetric values for any one of 18 standard illuminants, or any standard daylight illuminant. This color-calibration instrument, which works with Onyx Graphic System’s (Salt Lake City) ProductionHouse and RIPCenter Mutoh Edition software, attaches to the Mutoh ValueJet 1608HS Hybrid, bio-ink printer and allows you to profile the printer for various media. Contact: Michelle Pugh, marketing coordinator (480) 968-7772 mpugh@mutoh.com 128 discrete wavebands which are automatically converted to colorimetric values, such as CIELAB or XYZ, by the instrument itself, or reported as spectral reflectance values. Interestingly, Mutoh developed the DP1 technology for its own use and as a product to license into other industries. A company white paper says, “While Mutoh is interested in pursuing commercial applications of this technology for use in its own products, the company believes that this technology has application in numerous other markets … such as consumer applications, biomedical, food and beverage testing, and chemical analysis among others.” Meaning, they built a premium system. Mutoh says its SpectroVue VM-10, combined with compatible RIP software, helps ensure optimum color

reproduction, and the device’s employment of a printer’s full gamut further enhances print quality. In addition, the system helps multi-run print jobs (and jobs printed on different substrates) achieve superior colorconsistency levels. Specifications One vexing, color-management aspect arises because printmakers use a computer monitor, with its additive (backlit) color characteristics, for image creation and/ or editing. A monitor transmits backlit, red, green and blue pixels, which create images that vary greatly from everyday, out-the-window scenes. Also, a computer’s incremental processing capability (8, 16, 32 or 64 bits) exponentially increases the color information and also determines the monitor’s color gamut. If the monitor/printer gamuts don’t match, a spectrophotometer can’t make them, nor can color-management software make earth-to-sky adaptations. The best hope is via an intermediate conversion process – a color profile – that understands the source-image, color-composition and output-device capabilities. A competent RIP will decide if the computer-displayed gamut is broader than the designated printer’s gamut, and either warn you about the non-gamut colors or create what it (mathematically) sees as a closer match. Either result may be a surprise. Prior to the release of the VJ-1608HS, Mutoh worked with Onyx Graphic Systems (Salt Lake City) to add support for the SpectroVue VM-10 to Onyx ProductionHouse, PosterShop and RIPCenter Mutoh Edition RIP software packages. Mutoh expects future ValueJet-RIP packages to support the SpectroVue VM-10. How it works Imagine your shop equipped with a SpectroVue VM-10 and a Mutoh ValueJet 1608HS Hybrid printer that’s 44 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

coupled to a computer loaded with Onyx Production House software. You’ve received a media shipment from a new supplier and want to create a profile that ensures the media produces satisfactory color prints. After you load the media, key your prepress computer to load Production House software, and then click on Media Manager, and select the SpectroVue measuring device. Now click on the New Profile tag and name it; then complete the question list (ink set, target resolution, surface type, spot-color requirements and other printmode options). Finally, you’ll encounter the Print Swatch button; clicking it activates the printer. The 1608HS uses the entire media width, to ensure minimal material use (Fig. 1). When the swatches are printed, the software asks you to attach the SpectroVue. Snap the SpectroVue into place and then remove it prior to printing. Press “enter” and watch the carriage roll to the left, to expose the printheads’ access area. Next, remove the VM-10 cap, grasp the SpectroVue instrument, and gently press the side-release buttons to lock it in place. Once it’s installed, click the Read Swatch button. Onyx designed the basic swatch reading for easy interpretation; an Advanced setting allows more participation, and settings. When the reading scan is complete, the printheads will track left again, and the system will be prompt you to remove the VM-10. Return to Media Manager to read the values and, also, reply to more questions. Once done, print the reference image to examine it for consistency and accuracy. It’s easier to do than describe – and, believe us, the VM-10 will save a ton of time. The ValueJet 1608HS We’ll add a few comments about Mutoh’s ValueJet 1608-HS Hybrid printer for both flexible and rigid media. The 64-in.-wide, 1,440-dpi printer uses a dual set of CMYK printheads; its production-mode print speed is 120 sq. ft. per hour and a set of removable tables allows it to function as a flatbed. Its fast-drying, bio-based, MP inks, which comprise 60% plant-derived substances, contain no harmful VOCs or heavy metals. Mutoh says the 1608HS prints signs, car wraps and on rigid substrates; it will directly image onto corrugated plastics, polystyrene, PVC, acrylic, polycarbonate, foamboard, aluminum composite, banner material, vinyl, wall coverings and more. Mutoh will soon provide its subscription-service, Internet-based, ColorVerify tool that will allow users to implement in-shop process control – to track color repeatability over time, for multiple materials and across multiple printers, with sophisticated analysis tools to identify potential issues with batch-to-batch media and ink variation, and printer drift. This service can be used with both Mutoh and non-Mutoh printers in the same shop. If color management is important, take a long look at the ValueJet 1608HS and SpectroVue VM-10 package. n

Times Square has chosen not to participate. In 2010, its new sign projects ranged from conventional sign projects to several over-the-top LED spectaculars and a new era of digital LED billboards. Sign content has emerged from various incarna-

tions of interactive connectivity to a startling form of “augmented” reality ready to tweak nearby sign viewers. Our sign tour begins at 42nd St. between 7th and 8th Aves.

Spectrum Signs (Clifton, NJ), which created the original on-site signage for Applebee’s in 2000, also produced this update. The primary sign, which incorporates the restaurant’s name and the top half of an apple, spans 17 ft. tall and 32 ft. wide. Fluorescent lamps illuminate the flexible-face apple logo. Store owners says sales have increased 25% since the new signage was installed. 56 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

front sign and three projecting signs, all designed, fabricated and installed by Spectrum Signs Corp. (Clifton, NJ), and supervised by Tom Morra, the company principal. Spectrum installed Applebee’s original sign package in 2000. Morra said the chain had updated its logo, which necessitated new signage. The new five-sign package elegantly comprise one word: Applebee’s. The primary sign, which incorporates the restaurant’s name and the top half of an apple, flat against the front of the building, spans 17 ft. tall and 32 ft. wide. The half-apple logo, 10.5 ft. tall and 15 ft. wide, decorates an internally illuminated, aluminum cabinet. Its flexibleface, apple logo is backlit with HO white fluorescent lamps. Below the half apple, “Applebee’s” glows in 6-ft., 6-in.-high, channel letters, each with a polished-aluminum return. Sloan Great White LED strips illuminate the ¼-in., translucent, white Plexiglas® acrylic sign face. Perpendicular from the restaurant wall protrudes a double-faced, 20-ft.-high, aluminum-cabinet blade sign. It mimics the primary sign with the Applebee’s name and its apple logo, internally illuminated with HO fluorescent lamps. Below that, a series of blinking, arrowshaped, LED strips point to the restaurant’s entrance. Three projecting signs complete the package. The two side signs, nearly 3 ft. tall x 11 ft. long, surround a central, 3 x 22-ft. sign cabinet. Each is framed by black, painted, perforated aluminum, internally lined with green LED strips that “chase” the illuminated Applebee’s letters. Each sign platform is installed at a unique

Modell’s Further along on Times Square’s 42nd St., the Modell’s Sporting Goods flagship retail store has acquired a 10-ft.-high x 34-ft.-wide Daktronics LED video display. Randy Antes, Daktronics’ director of digital projects in New York City, describes it: “The new Modell’s display is a Daktronics DVX 20mm. The DVX display platform delivers high-resolution video to any environment by combining premium LEDs with a flexible, weatherproof, video-module design. The DVX’s new contrast details result in better images, while masking module-tomodule seams. In developing our LED displays, we’re seeing the commercial market beginning to utilize some of the advanced control and integration capabilities Daktronics has supplied for LED video displays in major sports arenas around the U.S.” With the added features, the Modell’s display includes: • Live video: Input resolutions up to 1080i • Live data: Fresh content using real-time data feeds • Screen zoning: Divides a screen for creative flexibility and promotional opportunities • Integration of large-scale, multiple-display technologies and display networks • Interactivity: Growing breadth of interactive and engagement capabilities with the display

angle to increase visibility along the 42nd St. sidewalk. Morra noted, “During the replacement of the old Applebee’s sign system, a mandated sidewalk bridge of walkthrough scaffolds was placed around the building, under the sign-installation work areas. With significant visual blockage to the restaurant, walk-in traffic was significantly reduced. However, once the sign installation was completed, and all scaffolding was removed, store traffic picked up by at least 25%. Much of that’s been attributed to the restaurant’s increased visibility with its new sign system.”

The new Modell’s sign, a 10 x 34-ft. Daktronics DVX 20mm display, combines LEDs with a flexible, weatherproof, video-module design. The live video accepts input resolutions up to 1080i. The screen can be divided for creative flexibility and promotional opportunities, such as live on-site press conferences with professional athletes.

Modell’s new LED display sets the bar higher for outdoor retail advertising “as the sign was able to present brands and products from our various key vendor partners,” said Amanda Grossman, director of programming and events for Modell‘s in NYC. “Our new sign also gives us the ability to present live broadcasting of on-site press conferences, pro-player appearances and other exciting events that occur in the store. At the bottom of our new LED display, we can also present an ongoing sports-network ticker. It’s definitely attracting the attention from pedestrians as we’ve seen increased customer traffic to the store since the Modell display has been installed.” Media architecture As more and more LED signage impacts Times Square, it increasingly emerges as an integral, building-facade component (think ABC Studio Times Square and the CocaCola sign on Two Times Square) to form “media architecture,” notes Jason Barak, managing partner of D3 (Rancho Cordova, CA; NYC), a company that specializes in LED digital-display applications. In 2010, D3 completed eight LED, digitaldisplay spectaculars in Times Square, including Forever 21, Aéropostale and Disney Store Times Square.

Barak adds, “Outdoor signage is now being structurally integrated into the building design – either becoming part of the curtain wall or being placed behind the streetfacing windows – which allows the retailers or office-building owners to utilize their unique facades to differentiate themselves [in terms of both the complexity of the sign system and its messaging] on a competitive basis. “We see this as a new display trend – the creation of an architectural digital storefront. Whether it is an LED or LCD/plasma screen, digital signage is using interactive displays to create experiential bonds between brands and their customers. With this display activity, such interactive branding campaigns are transforming commercial buildings into destinations in their own right, where people are compelled to visit digital storefronts to experience the ‘building buzz,’ up close and personal.” Forever 21 D3’s latest LED displays clearly demonstrate media-architecture integration, as embodied in its new Forever 21 sign package (fashion retail), mechanically and electronically designed by D3 and installed by Landmark Signs (NYC) on SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011 57

The Disney Store Times Square display (D3, NYC) incorporates three unique LED display technologies. The large upper screen is a 10mm surface-mounted device (SMD); the Disney channel letters are a more coarse 38mm display pixel, and the storefront windows employ a super Hi-Res 6mm display (with 32 40 x 40-in. video tile sections). The Disney Store wanted to run infinite configurations of all three separate display elements. This includes running content on all display surfaces synchronously, independently and a combination of all. D3’s Advanced Element Processor (AEP) was designed to provide the store with maximum flexibility for display control over multiple resolutions.

Forever 21’s flagship, Times Square storefront. D3’s integrated sign package for Forever 21 includes: •A n 8mm LED main screen (30 ft. high x 47 ft. wide) •A 38mm LED cluster that populates the “21” sign component •A set of open-face channel letters (exactly 21 ft. tall) placed over the main screen •A nother set of open channel letters (FOREVER), also filled with 38mm LEDs, directly underneath the main LED screen •A n LED edge frame that comprises 20mm LED modules that follow the main screen’s perimeter •A 10mm SMD (surface-mounted device) LED canopy that fits over the entrance and backs into the store. The Forever 21 sign package includes two interesting, content enhancements. First, there’s a trompe-l’oeil effect where the 38mm, open-face channel letters cover the 8mm main screen. When the Forever 58 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

D3’s Forever 21 LED sign package includes an 8mm main screen (30 ft. high x 47 ft. wide) and a 38mm LED cluster that populates the ‘21’ sign component as a set of open-face channel letters (exactly 21 ft. tall) placed over the main screen. Below the main screen is another set of open channel letters (FOREVER), also filled with 38mm LEDs. Finally, the LED edge frame comprises 20mm LED modules that follow the main screen’s perimeter.

21 sign face content flows across the main screen, it’s also visible in the 21 formed channel letters, as if appearing through the open mesh that covers the bottoms of the letters. Yet this wasn’t true. Actually, it was a separate image that matched the content below it and merged the two in a seamless appearance as a single integrated image. The Forever 21 sign’s real beauty is how its content augments reality (Concept by Space 150, Minneapolis) to combine the streetscape in front of the sign as part of the overall main sign content. The on-screen Forever 21 models interact with Times Square pedestrians, in front of the store, who happen to be watching the Forever 21 LED screen. On-screen, among other activities, the Forever models take pictures of the pedestrians watching the screen and show off those pictures to the pedestrians. The models then wave at the pedestrians and exit the screen. “The success of that campaign made the Forever 21 store so

popular that it has become a major destination in Times Square,” said Barak. “People hang out watching the sign for at least 5-10 minutes to watch themselves on the screen.” Aéropostale The Aéropostale sign package (also fashion retail) created by D3 was an architectural wonder bestowed on the 19,000-sq.-ft. Times Square flagship store. The LED screen completely covers the storefront (2,000 sq. ft.) by dividing it into three separate, but visually integrated, curvilinear components that allow it to function as a single sign. It begins as a singular sign that quickly separates. The top edge becomes an LED ribbon (10mm SMD, 3 ft. tall x 122 ft. long) that extends to the building edge and wraps around the corner to the other side. Then the middle section (the main screen) follows the building facade to approximately a third of its length, then curves inward and intersects the facade glass. Finally, it continues

onward into the store, where it becomes an interior sign that’s also visible from street level. Below that sign is a third LED section that mimics the top ribbon and follows the building line to its edge and then around it. “The beauty of the middle interior LED screen,” said Barak, “is that it also has a set-aside media space on the second floor known as The Balcony. This space allows customers who are dancing on a nearby stage in front of a green screen [known as the Aero Web Cam] to have their dance movements integrated on the main Aero sign as if they were dancing with the muchlarger Aéropostale models.” The content streaming across the Aéropostale sign transforms into serpentine-like advertising content. The singular image across the entire sign face splits into banners, one across each ribbon, and a central ad across its main screen. Combined with dancing customers, it becomes a visual “speed bump” for passersby who tend to stop and gawk in wonder at the sign. Street-side digital displays Time Square digital signage converged with street furniture through an innovative program launched by CEMUSA (Madrid, Spain), a company that specializes in operating and monetizing street furniture in large metropolitan

markets worldwide. In Fall 2010, the company introduced the first digital-display system embedded in a U.S. newsstand structure, with its first deployment in Times Square. Show + Tell (NYC) launched and operates the CEMUSA network of digital newsstand displays. Warren Levy, executive vice president of business development, elaborates: “The newsstands, as modern, stainless-steel and glass structures, incorporate a series of digital displays, including on the backside of the newsstand. Each of the four LCD displays [HD 1080 screens from Display Devices Inc.] has a 65-in. diagonal. These units were installed in a 2 x 2 display-screen landscape configuration to create a 6 x 10-ft. panoramic back panel. “Additionally, a 70-in. LCD display has also been installed on one side of the newsstand in a portrait orientation. The LCD screens are daylight readable, with overall brightness levels between 1,500-2,000 nits. For protection against graffiti, each LCD screen was installed behind vandalproof glass.” Overall, eight CEMUSA newsstands comprise the Times Square digital-display network. As Levy notes, Show + Tell’s contribution “included architecting the digital

network that distributes the content to the eight newsstands, overseeing the retrofit of the digital components into the existing structures, designing and producing all nonadvertising content, and providing ongoing technical operations, support and content management for the CEMUSA newsstand, digitaldisplay network. “The newsstand’s digital content runs in an eight-minute loop with a play list that is targeted to Times Square’s changing crowds. The network is a 50/50 mix of thirdparty advertising [including hyperlocal advertising for events in the Times Square area] and dynamically driven informational spots – real-time transit info, news, sports, weather, and entertainment art moments, highlights/promos for art institutions. “And in the foreseeable future, the CEMUSA newsstands will also present opportunities for interactive content. With their day-parting ability, we can adjust the schedule to target office workers during the day and a more tourist-oriented mix in the evenings and weekends.” Now, CEMUSA’s digital-display network is changing Times Square’s landscape. People no longer have to look up to be dazzled. SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011 59

Spectacular Design Group In a nod toward a new generation of digital billboards, the Spectacular Design Group (NYC) has created what is now, according to company principal Anthony Sinodinos, “the largest, continuous-faced LED billboard in Times Square [at 5,000 sq. ft.]. It has become a visual anchor in the northeast corner of Times Square. It’s so big that anyone

entering Times Square from the opposite direction can’t help but see the billboard, which sits on top of the DoubleTree Guest Suite Hotel, a 44-story building in Times Square.” The 50-ft.-tall x 100-ft.-wide digital billboard, provided by D3, offers a full, RGB color pallet with 3,200 x 1,600-pixel resolution. Interboro Sign and Maintenance

(Brooklyn) replaced the former static billboard with its LED counterpart, and all electrical hook-ups were conducted by Landmark Signs & Electrical Maintenance (NYC). “At SDG, a boutique, outdooradvertising company, we pride ourselves for having a digital billboard with multiple, state-of-the-art, computer features that allow us to

What Happens in Times Square May Go Everywhere To say Times Square has impacted modern digital signage’s look and feel trivializes its influence as a trendsetter. Already the sign capital of the world, Times Square also benchmarks signage’s evolution as an advertising medium. But that benchmark is tricky, because hardware and software constantly evolve, influenced by surrounding cultural and technical changes. Not only are high-definition, LED, video screens currently outdoor advertising’s common Times Square currency, but so is their content, from a passive, just “look at me,” to inviting interactive connectivity. As Don Blanton, president of WOW Factor (Los Angeles and NYC) has observed, “Content will always be the magnet that captures people’s attention. The big attraction now is combining the right content with interactivity, which easily engages people’s attention, and, if executed properly, will give the consumer a positive, stronger connection to the brand.” So, as high-tech continues to influence outdooradvertising-media formats, it signals a new era for advertisers’ digital-signage expectations. To understand that future, we recall Times Square’s chronological advertising innovations: • 1928 – The Motogram (invented by Frank C. Reilly), the world's first electronic message center, appeared on the Times Tower (now One Times Square) as a horizontal message band that scrolled streaming text messages around the building. Today, known as the “zipper,” it’s viewed by advertisers as a way to connect with the public. • 1941 – The Camel billboard sign first appeared in Times Square as a 30 x 100-ft., red, painted billboard that pictured a man's face, flanked by his raised left hand, which held a cigarette. A smoke ring from his mouth spread to a 10-ft. diameter. All day long, gawkers watched the perfection of a “�� cute�� ”�� smoking trick. Billboard sponsor R. J. Reynolds was so impressed, it commissioned 12 more Camel billboards in major U.S. cities. By the mid-1960s, however, the sign had blown its last smoke ring. • 1976 – Spectacolor’s (NYC) Visual Broadcast System was touted as America’s first full-color, optical display system. It was mounted on the north face of the 60 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

Allied Chemical Building (now One Times Square), directly above the famed zipper reader board that encircled the building. Inspired by George Stonbely, the display portrayed text, graphics, animations and video imagery at a whopping 8.5 frames per second (a far cry from today’s 30 fps) as state-of-the-art electronic signage. Today, virtually all the surrounding Times Square area is covered (practically wall-towall) with myriad, full-color, HD-LED video displays. Likewise, LED video signage can be seen in every major urban area around the world. • 1996 – Fiction became fact with the emergence of LED video screens which covered the fronts of buildings, spawning what we now call “media facades”. Again, what was born in Times Square is now seen in many urban centers worldwide. • 2010 – Interactive signage has become a new content format, encouraging people to encounter direct contact between the customer and the advertiser. As a worldwide entertainment capital, Times Square serves as a great Petri dish of worldwide media formats and sign systems. The above dates suggest new media technology requires 10-20 years for development time, sign-community acceptance and customer endorsement. Today, it’s interactive signage; tomorrow lounges on media-lab drawing boards worldwide. What might we expect? More technology formats, more convergence between different media formats, and sign systems of unconventional proportions becoming the norm. For example, with the right app, your smartphone might become an accessory to a store/mall digital sign. We’ll have more connectivity between mobile media and signage; “smart signs” might “friend” you with the brand they’re advertising and call your cell phone with the latest sales special or product the sign is promoting. Just about anything is possible, as we wait for visionary sign makers and businesses to employ the next great advertising form. Whatever it may be, it‘s more than likely to come from Times Square, and quickly enough wind up in a city near you. – Louis M. Brill

handle just about any kind of major advertising campaign in our current media climate. For example, with our digital-cinema resolution,” says Sinodinos, “we can present any television or movie trailers in their original native resolutions. Our interactive capabilities will allow pedestrians to have a ‘dialogue’ with our advertising creative by use of their cell phones. “Likewise, our sign platform is bidirectional, and, if a viewer contacts certain advertisers, the sign will transmit electronic coupons back to them. Finally, our sign is also 3D capable, and, when we present 3D advertisements, we’ll have street teams around Times Square handing out 3D glasses so pedestrians can view our sign in 3D. “As for our sign content, our typical advertising loop offers approximately 56 minutes of direct advertising and four minutes of PSA and other special materials, and will repeat approximately once an hour. We were sold out for our first month in operation in December 2010.” Times Square incubator The new signage that continues to appear in Times Square reflects our current high-tech culture of social media, cell phones and interactive pings. It’s giving new meaning to digital outdoor advertising and creating more competitive advertising formats in getting people

Several Times Square newsstands operated by CEMUSA were transformed with digital display into their high-tech counterparts. While they still dispense snacks and magazines, they also include daylight-readable LCD screens which provides digital content, including New York City transit info, news, sports, weather, entertainment art moments, and PSAs in an 8-minute loop.

A full-color 34 x 37-ft. Daktronics LED display (which features its latest generation DVX 10mm SMD technology) resides at the base of One Times Square.

Times Square pedestrians can participate in multi-choice interactive polls, or transmit text messages and photos to the display, all from their cell phones.

more connected to sign content and their products. Thus, putting up signs today is less about putting signs in a place and more about what effect the signs will have on the public space around them. Context has become as important as content. Digital signage certainly indicates where signage is going, and how we’ll get there as media communicators. With these new

advertising formats, Times Square has become an incubator for the latest media techniques in connecting businesses to customers, and showing off the optimum sign process with which to do it. n Louis M.

Ground A roundup of floor- and street-graphic projects By Steve Aust

D igital printing’s evolution has turned previously lifeless, blank walls into large-format backdrops for graphics that provide curb appeal. Coupled with well-designed banners and wraps, they generate revenue or cultivate a vigorous atmosphere. However, floor graphics have lagged somewhat behind their vertical brethren. End users, property managers, designers and other stakeholders, in an environmental-graphics plan, perceive customers don’t generally glance towards their shoes (although public addiction to mobile devices is probably changing that). Also, materials used for floorgraphics applications must meet slipresistance safety standards and avoid glare that detracts from the advertising message. Floor graphics certainly provide advantages. They share the low CPM of all on-premise signage, plus POP signage’s proximity has been proven to greatly influence buying decisions. And, the red water/blue water theory ascribed to successful fishing also applies to graphics. In a marketplace saturated with more conventional signage formats, floor graphics make an impact because of their novelty. Most signshops that sent projects for this gallery reported floor graphics represent only a single-digit percentage of overall sales. Thus, they remain a specialty solution. However, when appropriate for a campaign, they really work.

Strike It Rich The creative-services department at Redding, CA’s Win River Casino hired Redding’s Sign-A-Rama franchise to create numerous floor-graphic programs for the entry foyer and “Dollar Alley,” a row of slot machines in a high-traffic area. John Robbins, who owns the Sign-A-Rama franchise, said the casino has become his best floor-graphics customer. When completing a floor-graphics site survey, Robbins creates a design template that accounts for doors, fixtures, trash cans and other items that will be replaced after the wrap’s completion. His designers and the casino’s creative staff primarily use Adobe’s Creative Suite 5 software, with an emphasis on Photoshop® and Illustrator®. For graphics applied to concrete or other hard surfaces, the franchise uses MACtac’s StreetRAP™, a 3.4-mil-facestock media with a permanent adhesive, and Permacolor® Permaflex® PF6300, an aggressive topcoat designed to withstand floor traffic (it’s rated for 90 days of floor use, according to MACtac). For smooth-surface or carpet applications, the shop uses 3M’s IJ 40 glossy, white media with an ASTM-certified, nonslip, luster-finish overlaminate. The Redding franchise uses two printers: a Roland SolJet Pro III XJ-640 64-in.-wide, eco-solvent-ink printer, and, for jobs with large panels to align, the shop implements an HP Designjet L25500 latex-ink printer. Robbins said HP’s Optical Media Advance Sensor, which takes digital images of the microscopic structure of the media’s underside and measures the media’s progress in real time, helps print and align large panels. To minimize inconveniences for patrons, the shop installed the graphics in the early-morning hours. For the 900-sq.-ft., entryway graphics, Sign-A-Rama’s installers used a torch and a 3M VCAT roller to ease the media into the concrete’s crevices, and 3M Gold squeegees for the smooth surfaces. Squeegees and elbow grease sufficed for the carpet graphics, which encompass approximately 400 sq. ft.

Holding Court Founded in 1977, The Mitographers Inc. (Sioux Falls, SD) has primarily focused on screenprinted, industrial graphics. In 2008, the company purchased its first, digital-printing equipment to control costs for short-run graphics. “Within around two and a half years, digital graphics have gone from zero to roughly 10% of our business,” Tim Phillips, The Mitographer’s sales manager, said. “For a $10 million company, that’s significant, especially because we haven’t advertised our large-format capabilities.” In 2009, Sioux Falls Sports Authority officials asked the company to produce banners for the Summit League’s basketball tournament. The 10-school (from Michigan to Utah) tournament takes place in the 7,500seat Sioux Falls Arena. Last year, The Mitographers approached Summit League officials about bidding for center-court graphics for the tournament, and won the job. “The Summit League representatives were adamant that safety be our first priority,” Phillips said. “In the past, there had been problems with players slipping on the graphics. Also, they wanted the graphics to have aggressive enough adhesion to stand up to the pressure of impact from Division I basketball players, while not damaging the playing surface after removal. And, they had to look good on camera, while the lobby graphics had to absorb foot traffic bringing in wet, mucky, latewinter weather.” The overall project entailed 1,134 sq. ft. of floor graphics for the court and lobby areas. The Summit League provided the image files in PDF format, and The Mitographers finetuned the design using Adobe Illustrator. In 2011, arena officials allowed the shop to begin working on installation two nights before the tournament’s beginning (the year before, they weren’t allowed to begin until the day before). Phillips said the 36-hour interim enabled a better bond with the sealant, which reduced scuff marks. The process

for both sets of graphics required six hours. To print the graphics, the shop used FLEXcon’s FLEXmark V400 white, opaque, 3.5-mil, self-adhesive film. In place of a laminate, installers applied several coats of floor varnish. The shop produced several samples, with some installed in the shop’s production area and others sent to the Summit League office. To ensure the film would meet ASTM D2047 non-slip requirements for floor surfaces, The Mitographers sent film samples of the centercourt material to a laboratory certified under the General Standards Board Laboratory Acceptance Program.

“League officials very much appreciated the extra measure,” he said. The Mitographers printed the graphics on its EFI-VUTEk QS2000 UV-cure-ink printer using EFI Series II inks. The lobby graphics were produced using a similar process, with the exception of usage of FLEXcon’s FLEXmark OV 650 R clear, embossed acrylic adhesive. Still stringent in his demand for seamless floor graphics, Summit League Commissioner Tom Douple assigned four staff members to monitor the center-court graphics during the tournament’s first four games. “There were no issues,” Phillips said. SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011 63

Making A Splash Signs by Tomorrow’s Rockville, MD location created stair graphics for Marriott’s Bethesda, MD corporate headquarters. Marriott wanted to tout its TakeCare initiative, which encourages employees to make healthy lifestyle choices. The client furnished the graphics as a PDF file, which the shop fine-tuned using Photoshop, Illustrator and SA Intl.’s FlexiSign 8.5. The project differed from most of the shop’s floor-graphic applications. Scott Goehrung, the shop’s computer-graphics engineer, said most such projects entail dance-floor graphics produced for event planners and short-term, POP graphics for shopping malls. Rarely do their lifespans exceed 90 days. In this case, Marriott’s decisionmakers required only 30 days. Goehrung said, “We had to measure the stairs and tweak the graphic so no text was cut in half. Because the stairs were smooth granite, we just wiped down the surface.” Signs by Tomorrow printed the project on its HP L25500 latex-ink printer using Avery’s MPI 3061 Quick Mark, a promotional-grade, calendered film designed for swift installation and removal. To make the graphic message flow seamlessly across the risers, Goehrung tiled the pattern using FlexiSign. “It’s still a challenge to install over a dirty floor or concrete, but films designed for floor graphics have become thinner, less expensive and more flexible, which makes these types of jobs more attractive,” Goehrung said. “Because we used thick vinyl, one installer simply held the vinyl taut while the other installed with a standard, soft squeegee.” He said Marriott officials liked the idea, and followed suit with another internal, promotional campaign immediately after this job’s removal.

Browsing The Aisles Home-improvement stores, grocery stores and other retail outlets – with store layouts that route customers through dense, high-traffic areas – naturally cater to floor graphics. The shoppers are usually targeted – as opposed to leisurely, specialty-shop browsers – and familiar with the store’s set-up. Thus, a targeted POP ad will likely catch the viewer who seeks a particular product. To steer its customers’ attention towards specific products in particular aisles, Menard’s, a Midwestern, home-improvement chain, tapped Minneapolis-based Vomela to fabricate a series of temporary POP graphics. Featured products included Wagner mechanized-painting systems and Libman floor-cleaning supplies. “Before we fabricate this type of a job, we have to become very familiar with the store layout, traffic patterns, cleaning equipment that will be used, the installation process, the expected lifespan and other factors,” said Rick Millington, a Vomela business-development executive. “We require at least a 90-day warranty from every material manufacturer, as well as liability coverage.” Vomela fabricated the graphics using 3M’s IJ40C-10R media with the 8509 clear, luster-finish overlaminate. He said the graphics were designed to last six months. The shop printed the large floor graphics on an EFI-VUTEk 3360 eight-color, roll-to-roll solvent printer using 3M’s Matched Component System. “Printing a graphic this long as a single piece presents challenges because, if there’s a problem in the middle of the print, you have to scrap it and start over,” Millington said. “That’s a huge labor and materials waste. Also, installation of such large graphics requires greater skill. Floors with seams, tiled floors or dirty floors also create difficult installations.” 64 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

Watch Your Step Fineline Signs Graphic Studio (Denver) produces a broad, digital-graphic portfolio. The official graphics provider for the NFL’s Denver Broncos, the shop produces wall murals, banners and related projects for various Colorado institutions and municipalities. John Miller, Fineline’s special-projects manager, says floor graphics represent approximately 5% of the company’s portfolio. He noted that event-marketing and management companies that promote one-time events represent most of the company’s customers. “When we complete a site survey, it’s important to understand the surface texture to which the graphics will be applied,” he said. “It’s also important to consider how much moisture an area will receive. If an area will experience heavy exposure to foot traffic that carries rain or snow, we have to be prepared to take the additional steps required to seal the graphic’s edges, to prevent lifting from moisture.” For a recent in-shop open house, Fineline executed various applications to tout its graphic capabilities. To catch visitors off-guard, the shop generated a gaping, round hole in the floor – of the inkjet-printed variety. Ben Schley, a Fineline designer, developed the graphic using Adobe Photoshop.

Miller said, “It was important to use an image that demonstrated depth, an overhead view and such details as the ladder and skeletal remains. The abundance of stock-art websites made this job much easier.” The shop produced the graphics on 3M’s IJ40 temporary floor vinyl with 8509 luster-finish overlaminate. Using Caldera’s V8 RIP, the shop output the graphic on its HP Scitex LX800 latex-ink printer.

Air Jordan Laid Flat Floor graphics only encompass 1 to 2% of Pro Lab Digital’s (Los Angeles) business, although Joe Hill, the company’s sales and operations VP, says it’s a growing market segment. In addition to standard event graphics, he said floor graphics were becoming more prominent in new-product launches. Also, retail clients’ need for permanent, point-of-entry graphics augments floorgraphic demand. Hill said, “It seems that there’s a product available that works well for every type of surface. Any material can present challenges when working on a dusty surface that inhibits adhesion to a floor surface. Therefore, a clean surface is essential to any job’s success. However, engineers have succeeded in creating floor-graphic materials that properly adhere to asphalt, concrete, tile, wood flooring and numerous other surfaces, while allowing easy surface removal.” Pro Lab Digital recently helped promote Nike’s iconic Air Jordan sneaker brand in an unusual way – going horizontal to celebrate the high-flying sneakers. Fortuitously, Stoelt Productions, which managed the promotional campaign for Nike, supplied graphics that required no image retooling. Fabricators tiled and enlarged the graphics to 11 ft. 2 in. long using Caldera’s V8 RIP. To ensure accurate size and consistency, the service provider printed it as three panels on its HP L25500 latex-ink printer using MACtac’s StreetRAP™ 3.4mil films designed for unsealed-concrete applications. “As usual, the biggest challenge was a crunched timeframe,” Hill said. “We had to produce and deliver the graphic within 24 hours.” SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011 65

LED Case Studies and More Voyeurism, LED-lamped signs and disruptive LEC – not “D” – panels.

By Darek Johnson “The myth of a lone genius having a eureka moment that changes the world is indeed a myth. Most innovation is the result of long hours, building on the input of others. Ideas spawn from earlier ideas, bouncing from person to person and being reshaped as they go.” –TED curator Chris Anderson in Wired magazine’s Film School, January 2011

S everal months back, a reader criticized ST for presenting a “fluff” article, meaning the reader thought

the pages offered little reading value. Truth is, the article presented several, LED-based, sign-design case studies, so readers, especially sign designers, could view and consider different shops’ and designers’ work. Case studies also provide new ideas for signshop fabricators and technicians. And, they grant “bragging rights” to the sign-building shop and give prestigestatus ammunition to its sales staff. Viewing other’s signs and case studies – voyeuring, loosely speaking, at others’ design work – is a sign designer’s way of life, just as artists and art students visit galleries and museums to see and study subjects and techniques. ST has presented case studies for, oh, 105 years. ST Media Group Intl.’s sign-related, book catalog (www. bookstorestmediagroup.com), which lists many how-to books, also lists such case-study tomes as Sign Gallery Intl. and Sign Gallery 5, 6 and 7. Further, the list includes Rudi Stern’s The New Let There be Neon case-study collection (“for designers, architects, sculptors and neon-sign designers and fabricators”) and Dusty Sprengnagel’s Neon World, which contains 350, full-color photos of beautifully designed, neon signs. Here, we’re presenting several design-related, solidstate-lighting case studies. 66 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

Courtside signage first ANC Sports Enterprises LCC (Purchase, NY), a provider of integrated, multimedia systems and sports-marketing services, announced the BNP Paribas Showdown (February 28, New York City’s Madison Square Garden) as the first professional, U.S. tennis event to feature LED-based signage around the court perimeter. The tennis exhibition was part of the United States Tennis Assn.’s (USTA) Tennis Night in America, BNP Paribas, the eurozone’s largest bank, by deposits, has offices in more than 80 countries. It employs more than 200,000 people. Michael Hopkins, ANC’s director of communications and marketing, said the company had prepared six, 54-ft. (324 ft. total) sections of lineal, arrayed, LED (moving message) signage to line the tennis-court perimeter, but was informed on event day of layout changes needed to allow more TV camera access, which caused them to remove some portions of the sections. Further complications occurred because of powersupply delays and, oddly, a change in the floor height. And, until show time, ANC’s graphics and operations team worked on content revisions and uploaded changes to ANC’s patent-pending, VisionSOFT operating system. Busy day. ANC’s services comprise rotational and fixed visual displays, digital-media software and control systems, signage operation and maintenance, marketing consultation, graphic design and print production. ANC’s equipment resides in more than 20 of the National Basketball Assn.’s (NBA) 30 venues. The company has a manufacturing relationship with Mitsubishi Electric Diamond Vision, a leader in HD LED technology.

Quizno’s curvy, LED-lamped channel letters This Quizno’s out-of-sight portion – a matched-curve, opposite-wall, interior raceway – added a design and installation challenge to Creative Sign Designs (Tampa) nifty, LED-lamped, channel-letter sign, installed at Tampa’s East Gate shopping center’s new Quizno’s restaurant. Creative’s Rick Incorvia said, “Once the letters were flush mounted to the radius fascia, we mounted a matched-radius raceway on the inside of the open fascia – to hide any electrical unsightliness.” The white, Plexiglas® acrylic faces are decorated with translucent vinyl. Using CorelDRAW® software, designer Vikki Klidis incorporated a white, 0.25-in. border (trap line) to add extra brightness to the faces. Nicole Cavalani photographed the signs. Rick said the Quizno’s owner had miscalculated the time needed to design, fabricate and install the sign. The shop built and installed the finished sign in 30 days. “We made sure the city would approve the design,” he said, “and began fabrication while the permit approval was in process.” Mandi Wise, the shop’s “permit queen,” delivered the permit to the install crew, onsite, as they unloaded the truck. Another disruptive-lighting technology? The CeeLite® Light Emitting Capacitor (LEC) technology – a flat, thin, flexible, impact-resistant, lightweight, cooloperating and energy-efficient light source – spawns from CeeLite Technologies, LLC (Colmar, PA). The company says its LECs deliver flawless illumination with color accuracy for advertising, architectural and event use, as well as sign illumination and tradeshow exhibits. The product received Time magazine’s Best Invention award, Electronics Products magazine’s Products of the Year

award and Buildings magazine’s Editor’s Choice award. You may have also seen it in Fast Company magazine’s Widgets We Love story. The “C” stands for a proprietary capacitor system that helps brighten the light panels. The LEC technology comprises the LEC lighting panels and proprietary, LEC-inverter, power sources. The panels conform to flat or curved surfaces and will illuminate the surface itself or serve as backlighting for translucent graphics or film. The 1mm-thick panels come in standard sizes, up to 18 sq. ft. More interestingly, the panels are produced through a screenprinting process that deposits layers of electrodes, phosphors and dielectrics, which CeeLite protects with a transparent-laminate overlay. LEC proprietary inverters, which operate with AC or DC power, are programmable, with proprietary software, to provide brightness control, fading and flashing. Further, the controls will coordinate and provide sequenced effects over multiple LEC panels. n

ToolBox 101 Safety first. After that, everything has a place. By Darek Johnson Cincinnati’s United-Maier Signs, founded in 1964, builds, installs and services moving-message, freestanding and wall signs, as well as channel letters and sign systems nationwide. The company specializes in “Maximus Series signs for massive-scale” projects. For example, it recently built and installed 9-ft.-high channel letters atop Cincinnati’s new, 665-ft.-high, Great American Insurance Group building.

The arrayed ladders, secured alongside removable sideboards, display Deron’s strong suit for neatness. Behind the ladders (under a protective cover) is the rig’s Miller Bobcat model 225G that comprises a DC welder, 120V AC generator and 12or 24V-battery charger. Deron will load a portable air compressor, if he needs to power pneumatic tools.

TInc.ony(Cincinnati) Maier, president of United-Maier Signs allowed Jeff Russ, ST’s senior art director, and me to visit the firm’s shop and photograph an install truck for these “Toolbox 101” pages. Tony introduced us to Ken Duesing, the firm’s operations manager, who asked United-Maier install technician Deron Johnson to provide a tour of his truck. Straight away, Deron, shown here with his full-body, crane-safety harness, emphasized that safety comes first. He also stressed care for the truck and properly organized – and stowed – gear and supplies.

Under the 1989 Kenworth T-800’s hood is a C10 Caterpillar diesel engine that drives the tandem axles through an Eaton Fuller, low- and high-range, nine-speed gearbox. The jade-green, telescoping, Elliott Skywalk S70 crane lifts a 10-ft.-long, aerial-work platform that also carries an electric, foldable, jib winch (similar to a boat davit) as an extra lift tool. Everything has a place. The orange, safety [traffic] cones ride atop the acetylene tanks, and the ladder-steps house wire-spool holders. Note, also, the mud boots stuffed behind the cones – not all install work is in the air. A notable aside is UnitedMaier’s aerial-lift, pre-use inspection checklist (which accompanies the DOT Driver’s Vehicle Inspection Report). In addition to routine power and walk-around checks, the form requires the crane operator to visually check for overhead obstructions, energized power lines and wind and weather conditions.

From Turn of the Century to Cellular 106-year-old Shiner Signs spins off Signage US for a national niche. By Wade Swormstedt

S T has a new associate editor, Robin Donovan. On her first day (appropriately, St. Patrick’s Day, given her surname), I outlined Signage 101 – how the sign industry is categorized and characterized. I explained electric and commercial signs, handcrafted and CAS signs, franchises and independents, custom and quantity signs. For the latter distinction, I explained that quantitysign manufacturers are the biggest sign companies. Usually.

70 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

I received an emailed article in January from a PR representative for a sign company. It was one of those rather generic treatises, written for a general audience, with nothing specific enough to interest a signindustry audience. I glance at such things, but don’t pursue. Usually. But I was intrigued, and, as I investigated, I discovered a centuryold sign company that’s created an interesting niche. The chronology and current strategy bear repeating,

as explained by company president Robert Laurencelle and VP of business development Mark Burack. The niche Shiner Signs, the parent company, sells custom signs in New England. The $2 million company has never left its Meriden, CT roots. The Signage US subsidiary (which received its own name two years ago) only caters to national companies. It primarily manufactures quantity channel letters; cellular-phone companies are targeted, with approximately 15% of the stores in malls. With $7 million in annual sales, 90% is for chains, and 80% comes from five top customers. Signage US handles all of Verizon’s 400+ U.S. stores. It serves T-Mobile on the East Coast from Maine to Virginia. Each of the 20+ employees is cross trained. To entice customers, Signage US offers bumper-to-bumper, three-year warranties and strives to provide optimum customer service. “Signs from traditional quantitysign companies may take 2-3 weeks to ship, but we can do it in 2-3 days,” Mark said. “We’ll offer free engineering analysis to any new customers. We have them ship us the drawings and an actual sign. We find that 80% of the signs involve some type of shortcut – cheaper materials, not UL listed – and we’ve even found some that were 4% smaller then spec’d.” (The company website, www.signageus.com, depicts an example, up close and personal.) Additionally, because convincing

chains to switch vendors is difficult, Signage US will provide signage for the first store free of charge. The employees The Signage US labor philosophy is simple: cross training. It’s not optional. “Workers on the floor can do project management,” Robert says. Over a 1½-year period, a new employee’s typical education moves from vinyl application, to digital printing, to CNC routing and then to sheetmetal. Robert figures, overall, cross training has boosted productivity 600%. With 12 people on the floor, he claims to be able to produce $1 million in signage monthly. Robert explains, “Each person we hire must have a mechanical or artistic skill set, common sense, and the passion and eagerness to learn new tasks.” Brian Russo, a 10-year employee, “has been cross-trained to do spraycoating application, channel-letter fabrication, vinyl graphics, goldleaf application, welding, wiring, crating and shipping, and production management.” Shawn Rafmuessen was hired as a tubebender two years ago, but no new neon is being produced. Today, Shawn can repair existing neon signs, but he also “fabricates channel letters, assembles plastic trim cap, applies spray coating and can do anything in our vinyl-graphics department and, of course, crating and shipping.” Six-year employee Troy Huscher

Signage US provided Metro PCS signs for approximately 75 locations in New York and New Jersey, using the same Sloan LEDs.

began in vinyl graphics “with a talent for creative sign drawings.” He’s subsequently been crosstrained for project management and sign-program logistics. Raymond Castro, the inside salesman with seven years on staff, “operates all of our Multicam CNC routers, the HP 9000 digital printers and the lamination and application of printed materials. He can fabricate channel letters, install signage, and crate and ship.” The equipment Without it, Signage US couldn’t compete. Period. Robert explains,

“Without channel-letter fabrication equipment – including CNC routers [MultiCam], channel-letter bending machines [Computerized Cutter’s Accu-Bend] and channel-letter fastening machines – it would be impossible for us to do the volume of work within the tight time frame we have. “CNC routers alone have increased our volume 10-fold over the speed of a hand-cut letter. Each channel-letter bending machine increases capacity by five times the speed of hand bending letters. Channel-letter fastening machines increase our volume six times the speed of SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011 71

conventional pop-riveting of channel-letter returns. “The combination of highly skilled, cross-trained workers who mesh well, and automated, signproduction equipment, has increased our capacity 600%. With the same number of employees, what we used to produce in a year can now be manufactured in eight weeks.” As an example, Signage US rebranded 395 T-Mobile stores in Connecticut, New York and New Jersey – from site surveys to installation – in five weeks.

•R eplacing fluorescent lamps with LEDs = energy savings of 12% to 38%

Illumination Robert said neon “is fading into the background,” due to damage in shipping and energy savings other lightsources offer. On the Shiner Signs website, www.shinersigns.com, a page called “A Green Company” outlines energy savings achieved through newer technologies: •R eplacing neon sign lighting with LEDs = energy savings of 75% to 90%, with less maintenance and longer life, all while eliminating mercury content •R eplacing neon with fluorescent lamps = energy savings of 23% to 50% •R eplacing T-12 fluorescent lamps with T-8 or T-5 fluorescent lamps = energy savings of 12% to 27%

The history Henry S. Shiner founded Shiner Signs in 1904. His son, Wayne Shiner, sold the company to Larry Laurencelle (Robert’s father) in 1959. The company became incorporated in 1970. Larry retired in 1982, and Robert has served as owner/president since then. The company traditionally handled mostly statewide work which, in a state the size of Connecticut, essentially means local work. Robert said the internet really changed the company, because, through a company website, he then began selling out of state in 1997. His first big job entailed more than 400 end-cap displays for a Comp USA (remember it?) rollout.

72 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

(Ed.note: These figures were shown to a lighting consultant, who disputed them. However, when Robert was shown the consultant’s comments, he stood by his figures and added, “The LEDs we use require 75% less electricity than the same sign illuminated with neon. LEDs are the future in every aspect of lighting and, unfortunately for us, neon is a dying art form.”)

What Signage US doesn’t do What a company does is paramount, but it’s also important to decide which tasks are best left to other entities. Simultaneously carving a niche and trying to appeal to a wide swath can be incompatible. For example, Signage US doesn’t build any high-rise signs, except for shippable, 20-ft.-tall pylon signs. Nor does it handle any installation inhouse. Consequently, Gulf and Irving Oil are its only oil-company clients. Signage US keeps a list of 700 sign installers, and it will use approximately 500 of them on an annual basis. Roughly 300 are considered to be on the “A” list. Because the permit process can be a gigantic bottleneck for a company that prides itself on turnaround time, Signage US sometimes hires “expediters” to procure permits in pay-to-play cities like Boston, Philadelphia and NYC. “In New York, this can reduce the turnaround time from a year to a month,” Robert said. At times, the company has even paid people to stand in permit lines. The bottom line The strategy seems to be working because Signage US sales haven’t dropped at all in the past two tumultuous years. Two new people were hired in February. Its belief in stateof-the-art equipment and materials hasn’t wavered since having been a beta site for the Gerber Signmaker IVB. It’s identified damage in shipping as a recurring problem, so it now creates its own crating with at least a half inch of insulation around the entire sign. It buys its materials in bulk on a quarterly basis to receive better prices. To enable better communication, Signage US maintains its office and factory on the same floor. n For more information about the company, go to www.signageus.com.

Chairman’s Message By John Allen, ISA Chairman

Expand the Team Architectural signage is not my expertise, I will be the first to admit. Yet my company has completed some fairly sizeable architectural projects, like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers stadium and the Carolina Panthers stadium. We later purchased an architectural firm that had been in business for more than 40 years and that has allowed us to develop that avenue even more fully. I was sent to manage the architectural facility and learned quickly how this signage is different than a traditional electric sign company, where I had spent most of my career. On most of the larger projects you likely will be manufacturing sign types that you have never produced before. That makes the work challenging, but those who have made a career of architectural signage love the challenge of it all.

report • • • A Focus on Architectural Signage

Our friends in architectural signage often have different clients than do those of us in other aspects of signage. They are often working with—and for—general contractors and designers rather than the end user. In many ways, it requires a different working relationship, one that keeps the sign company involved throughout the process, rather than brought in at the end. The designer may create a concept and then rely on the architectural sign professional to help determine the most cost-effective way to build it. The architectural sign company is part of the team that helps execute the overall concept of the building. As with any business these days, architectural sign companies find that being part of the team has its challenges, but also brings opportunities. All of us have a vested interest in making sure that the end user is getting the kind of project that enhances their brand and image while making sure that it is the perfect balance of cost containment and quality. Teamwork also can lead to stronger business relationships and nowhere is that more evident than ISA’s Supplier/Distributor Conference, which is coming up in June. This year, SDC has been broadened to include national sign companies for the first time. It always has been an outstanding conference and the only industry networking event for suppliers and distributors in the on-premise sign industry. We believed, though, that bringing in national sign companies would add an exciting dynamic to this event. It only made sense to broaden the team, so to speak, to include them in this conference. The result has been positive already. Registration is trending higher than last year. I have no doubt that bringing the national companies into the conference will only make it a better event for all. I fully expect that there will be many, many discussions of ways that we can partner on large projects in the future.

Hello, My Name Is... Eleven months and 22,000 signs: That was the order at AD/S in Corona, Calif., when it was tapped for the Las Vegas City Center project, a massive private venture that encompassed three hotels, a convention center, a casino, an entertainment complex, and a high-rise residential development. The project was broken into several designed phases. “AD/S’ fabrication versatility enabled us to handle these demandingly detailed architectural projects in-house, and we quickly adapted to the volume and tight schedules,” said Kevin Farrell, AD/S vice president and long-time ISA member.

Kevin Farrell

One of the larger projects in the venture was signage for the Aria Hotel—all 4,000-plus guest rooms, included.

“The coordination was extreme,” Farrell said. An Occasional Look at ISA Members “Both in quality control and the handling. You had to be pretty good at sending out specific floor plans so that the installation crews knew locations of each door and floor level. Everything was individually checked, labeled, and wrapped for quality control and ease of installation.” And then there were the challenges related to meeting the owner’s and contractor’s LEED requirements and Clark County’s strict fire rating compliance. All packaging material was recycled, and truck loads were maximized as signs were shipped from Corona to Las Vegas, all under the 500 miles required for LEED compliance. Low-VOC paints and formaldehydefree products were specified, and LED lighting, some of which was custom blended, was used in the illuminated signage. Material selections included reclaimed teak veneers, Paperstone®, and various eco-friendly products. AD/S also separated and recycled our metal alloys, which included stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, and copper. City Center was not the only project AD/S had in Las Vegas at the time; it also was completing signage for Terminal Two of the McCarran Airport and was gearing up fabrication for the new Terminal Three. Closer to its home just south of Los Angeles, AD/S was working on several hospitals in the area, too. “Because of the slump in commercial retail—there are not many shopping malls being built out there—a large portion of our work is public and quasi-public work,” Farrell said. “We’ve proven to be valuable team members to some large general contractors, and we’ve found a niche by being able to support them on challenging signage projects.” It’s not all work. “I enjoy building business relationships and friendships. Golf plays an important part of business and relaxation for me. I like the camaraderie of being out there.” It’s also something of a sweet spot for Farrell, who has a bachelor’s degree in construction management, but grew tired of the traveling nature of the construction industry. At AD/S, which he co-founded in 1995, the work is clustered in California, Nevada, and Arizona. AD/S is licensed in all three states. He also believes in investing in the larger sign community and currently serves on the board of directors of the California Sign Association.

Expand the Team (Continued from page 73) The national sign companies also will hold their annual meeting as part of SDC. One issue that always seems to be a topic of discussion is the way to find the most professional installation subcontractors. When we—a national sign company—are entering a new region or locality, how do we determine which company is most qualified to work on our behalf, to be part of our team? How do we ensure that the team members that we bring to the project represent us well? Obviously building relationships is extremely important. But sometimes, we enter a region in which we have no contacts. Many national companies are beginning to inquire about the crane safety certification status of potential subcontractor’s installation personnel. While OSHA does not require this certification be completed until 2014, companies that are proactive in ensuring that their employees are trained certainly will stand out. Companies committed to safety and training are the kinds of subcontractors that national sign companies will want to use, I am sure. As you probably know, ISA has been offering outstanding certification training to assist members in complying with OSHA-mandated crane operator certification. Some of my employees recently attended the training and then took the certification testing. They told me that the ISA training prepared them well, but also that the certification exam was quite difficult. I am not sure how many would have passed if we as a company had not made the commitment to provide this training. ISA is hosting these training courses around the country and companies need to be proactive in seeking them out (www.signs.org/cranetraining). The training can provide a competitive edge for companies. It also is important to remember why this certification was required to begin with: To ensure the safety of some of our most important team members, our employees. |

New Challenges, New Opportunities for Architectural Signage In many ways, the issues facing architectural signage companies are similar to other businesses. But there are other challenges unique to this segment of the industry as well. “Today’s market is like it always is: very dynamic,” said Josh Bunting, chief financial officer for Bunting Graphics Inc., and the Architectural Division representative on the ISA Board of Directors. “I hear some companies are very healthy, and some are not. That’s very much related to how they managed their business over the last 24 months. As for the customer, they want what they’ve always wanted: to get high quality, high levels of service, and fair pricing. Some of the expectations in how you deliver that are changing.”

able to cover costs, and they suffer as a result. It may put those companies that are on the edge out and allow those companies that were able to maintain profitability to maintain a serious position.” As the U.S. economy has struggled, serious competition from overseas has opened up, creating additional pressures for architectural sign companies.

Increasing Emphasis on Environmentally Friendly Products Some customers also are demanding environmentally friendly products and assistance with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) points in building. That is requiring architectural sign companies to continue to learn a new avenue of business. While signs themselves cannot be LEED-certified, they can contribute points to the overall project.

Those changes fall into three broad categories: Economic Conditions Continue to Challenge The economy has been a challenge for architectural signage, just as it has been with the broader sign community. Customers are demanding competitive pricing, raw materials costs are increasing, and those outside the sign industry are often bidding on sign projects. All of that creates a squeeze on many sign companies. “Our customers are well aware that it is a buyers’ market right now,” said Grady Brown, president of ASI | Signage Innovations and ISA board member. “They are generally very competitive on their expectations and we see a broader level of competition on projects that would have been the wheelhouse of the architectural industry. We are finding that competitors are coming from areas of industry that would not have traditionally been there and they may not have the same level of experience. But so much emphasis is on cost, not service, product quality, and long-term performance. This year is not going to be any easier than last year, as we see our industry overall still struggling through 2011.” Bunting also sees that pressures may continue to force some sign companies to close. “This raw materials price surge is happening right now. Depending on how people have contracted their businesses, they may not be

“So far, because the architectural sign industry is a craft industry, they are somewhat protected, because those manufacturing facilities offshore are good at mass production,” Brown said. “They are not yet—and that is the keyword—doing custom one-off solutions. It will only be a matter of time. The quality level is improving. The barrier is customer service, the dependability, and the delivery times. Folks in other parts of the world are not sitting back and doing nothing. They’re continuously improving and expanding. Whether we can identify a means to turn threat into an opportunity is a challenge that we will face as an industry.”

“Increasingly, our clients are seeking LEED certification for their properties,” said Brown. “There’s a level of knowledge necessary to understand how we can contribute to those goals. We’ve had a significant focus on making sure that our organization is knowledgeable about LEED requirements as well as being able to deliver environmentally friendly signage for people who do want to implement a more sustainable solution.”

Bunting agrees and says the pace is quickening. “There is a lot of pressure from Asia starting to come into the sign business. In the last seven years or so, that was traditionally reserved to commercial signage because of needing to buy in volume. Now, I’m getting a two-week lead time on products that I can get from China.”

Sometimes, use of environmental products require more paperwork. “There can be some complex, required forms going out on the bid process to those who will be fulfilling the sign requirements,” warns Teresa M. Young,

Even with the heavy focus on pricing, some customers are willing to pay extra for environmentally friendly products; in certain markets, they are required for new construction.

Everyone is short on time, and this happens to add another demand. But for those who can get comfortable, it will ultimately become standard operating procedure for these types of building signs.” While Brown also believes environmentally friendly construction will become common practice, he takes a longer view. “We view it as similar to the Americans with Disabilities

Act (ADA). It’s a growth opportunity. The challenge with LEED is that it hasn’t been codified to the level that ADA was. Businesses had to comply with ADA guidelines because it was legislated. Green construction and LEED are driven primarily by societal pressures or strong beliefs of the influencer of the purchasing decisions. There are growing trends to codify green construction, as you can see by the International Green Construction Code. It’s anticipated that over the next five years, that is going to be more of a codified or legislated requirement. Then it will have a larger impact on the marketplace having to

use those materials, which will hopefully drive down the cost some materials based on increased demand.” In the meantime, it takes extra initiative on the part of sign companies, Young said. “There are products available, but sign companies often don’t know where to source them as they can be hard to find within the sign supply chain. This is not a trend; it’s a migration. We as a society are going someplace new and it’s going to be permanent.”

Changes in the Construction Industry Increasingly, many construction projects are going to design-build, meaning that one bidwinner must complete the entire project. It also may create some challenges for sign company owners, who have long worked in conjunction with design firms. “That’s a very sensitive issue for us from a business perspective,” Brown said. “We do have long-standing relationship with the design community. We have a marketplace that is looking for design-build as a delivery model that they’ve used in general construction and applying it to the signage portion of their project. We are finding more opportunities to partner with design firms to provide a designbuild solution. In addition, we continue to service our clients by offering design services, where the project does not require partnering with a large design house, therefore providing the option to single source with ASI. ”

In general, more coordination is happening at all levels, Bunting said. “What building owners are doing is modeling the buildings in three dimensions, incorporating structural, steel, mechanical—all the big cost drivers— and trying to pull people into Building Information Modeling (BIM). It’s really at some level got to be a paradigm shift. You have to take a proactive approach to making sure that the building can handle the signs and the signs are not an afterthought. It drives our costs up as the software packages are very expensive and you have to train people to use them. It’s really a long-term commitment but you’re starting to see the market somewhat demand it.” | Sign credit: A2Z Signs

Architectural Project Morphs

into New Skills for Poblocki Sign Company When a fairly straight-forward sign project leads to a rather unusual one, relationships are often at the core. ISA member Poblocki Sign Company tapped two powerful relationships in a unique project at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. First was the relationship with the medical facility itself. Poblocki had handled a standard sign project in mid-2010 when the hospital wanted to rebrand its main campus in honor of a donor who had given $150 million. The company upgraded illuminated signs, reworked foundations and footings, and added large stainless steel routed and pushed-through letters to identify the hospital’s new brand and to recognize the donor. By the end of 2010, the hospital had decided that a renovation was needed to their main entrance on their urban campus. FMG Design, Inc. designer for the project, brought on Poblocki; the two teams had collaborated on projects for several years, ranging from the Georgia Aquarium in 2004 to the new Rockingham Hospital in Harrisonburg, Va., in 2010.

also were tests. But perhaps the biggest issue was the need for Poblocki to fabricate its own framing system. “Here it was December 20 and people are thinking about heading off to family holidays and I’m challenging the team to say, ‘No, I don’t want to look at a typical wall system. We’ve got to develop a custom system. The panels had to be interchangeable so that if one is damaged, it is user friendly and owner serviceable.” “This really stretched our skills,” Simko said. “However, this proved that our journeymen and our fabricators are not limited in their skill set with their experience in traditional

When a fairly straight-forward sign project leads to a rather unusual one, relationships are often at the core. Poblocki Sign Company tapped two powerful relationships in a unique project at Children’s National Medical Center in Washington, D.C. “When we first started talking about it, it was a decorative wall panel system that included existing wall elements,” said Gary Simko, Poblocki’s sales and project manager. “It seemed like a natural fit. From there, we were part of the team and we were committed to making it happen.” The project was on an extremely tight schedule and was being championed by the CEO himself. So when the scope was finalized and the requested delivery date was identified, Poblocki was still on the project, though there was no longer a sign component. The lack of signage wasn’t the only challenge. The tight timeframe and stringent code issues

signage. It pushed the Poblocki employees— and gave them a chance to think differently.” With an older building, walls and floors aren’t always level or plumb. “Your sign element is like hanging a picture, but when you’re cladding from ceiling to floor, edge to edge, you have to accommodate what might not be true.” Poblocki created panels that were roughly two-foot square and made of a custom 3Form Varia® material with a reflective layer in the middle “so that lighting engineers were able to pick up on this panel and add a lot of luminescence,” Simko said.

Poblocki also had to accommodate changes, such as when the hospital decided to add in a 55-inch LCD monitor. This monitor, while discussed, had always been treated as something that would be installed in the future. It would have to sit flush within the wall system. “One week before we were to be complete, this came up,” Simko said. “We said, ‘Fine, we’ll take care of it,’ and rushed to fabricate some custom solutions. While the technicalities of that are not necessarily beyond the typical architectural sign project, you can’t just put a 55-inch screen in the wall.” But it was a willingness—or desire—to learn something new and challenge the company’s skill set that made the project a success. That, and the relationship,“That’s what brought us into this project, and what kept us on when the project changed,” Simko said. “We used what we knew about architectural signage and stretched our skills to make it work.” The result being a very satisfied client and a team that was proud of its accomplishments and excited about the new skills they had honed. |

Crane Safety...

Certification Training Continues Throughout the Year Though the year is slipping away, numerous opportunities remain to attend an ISA Mobile Crane Operator Safety Certification Training in 2011.

Mark Your Calendars

The training is designed to prepare sign companies to comply with OSHA mandates that require all crane operators be certified by November 2014. The OSHA rules also require companies to pay for the certification program. But there are benefits to not putting it off; because the training addresses safety issues, companies may be eligible for discounts on workers’ compensation from insurance providers.

for 2011 ISA Supplier/ Distributor Conference

ISA has worked with The National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO) to provide certification testing immediately following the training at the same location. Currently, those who attend the training pass certification more than 85 percent of the time, significantly higher than the industry average.

A strong look into the future is on tap for the ISA Supplier/Distributor Conference. Business projects and opportunities will certainly be part of the mix at this annual networking event aimed exclusively at on-premise sign company suppliers and distributors. A presentation by futurist Kenneth Gronbach will look at trends in the sign industry now, and how they may shape business in the future.

Three Questions...

with SEGD CEO Jessica London (First of an occasional series of conversations with groups with which ISA collaborates) Jessica London joined the Society of Environmental Graphic Designers (SEGD) as CEO in October. As many architectural sign companies work closely with environmental graphic designers, London offers her take on the issues facing SEGD members and the industry. SEGD work in areas including graphic, architectural, interior, landscape, and industrial design. 1). What are SEGD members saying about the future of your industry? Major changes are happening in the way designers are working with clients, fabricators, and material manufacturers. An increased awareness of experiential design means that clients are very sensitive to the overall user experience. Consequently, designers are being asked to provide much broader, “big picture” consulting services, such as wayfinding analysis and experience analysis. Many in our community expect this trend to continue in the future.

2). You are holding your 2011 conference/ expo in June in Montreal, a city that is known for its use of aesthetic design. What do you expect to learn in Montreal, either in the city or at the conference, about how aesthetics and business can mutually co-exist? It’s a beautiful, cosmopolitan, design-centric city that we are thrilled to share with our SEGD community. Montreal has truly demonstrated the value of design to the community, both economically (an estimated $750 million and 21,700 jobs) and from a quality-of-life perspective. The city of Montreal incorporates

Major changes are happening in the way designers are working with clients, fabricators, and material manufacturers. An increased awareness of experiential design means that clients are very sensitive to the overall user experience. At the same time, fabrication delivery is changing significantly as well. A lot less funding is being applied to design documentation, so designers, fabricators, and material manufacturers have had to learn to work much more closely to deliver projects. Material manufacturers also are playing larger roles as design codes are becoming more materials-oriented. One example is the new Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) guidelines, which require reflective vinyl in some cases. And of course, technology is a source of constant change. Clients are demanding increasing integration of technology and dynamic media, so designers must develop those skill sets. Technology also is changing fabrication and material manufacturing. Ten years ago, most designers were using the same materials and techniques they had used for a decade. Now, rapid changes in materials and technologies demand agility in how designers and fabricators address design projects.

the concept of design innovation into all its decisions affecting the built environment. For years now, communities both large and small have recognized the value of signage and environmental graphics in improving quality of life, safety, and the economy. We’re seeing the reach of environmental graphics expand all the time. The extraordinary breadth of work submitted to our annual SEGD Design Awards program demonstrates how environmental graphics are applied in new types of spaces all over the world: from transit stations to streetscapes, and from factory floors to highway rest stops.

well as for the blind. There is acknowledgment that one size does not fit all, and that accessibility must be developed on a broader scale. 3). You are in your first year as CEO of SEGD. What would you like ISA members to know about where you're taking SEGD? We’re in a period of exciting evolution, focused on providing even more value to our international community of members working in the field of EGD. SEGD will continue to offer programs, tools, and resources that address relevant issues and needs; and we’ll be introducing new elements and meaningful benefits. We’re developing important new research and academic initiatives, refining current information tools and networking resources, and planning compelling content-rich events that will serve as forums for members to share information, learn, and be inspired. We’re also expanding efforts internationally, building links with designers fabricators, educators, and others working in EGD. We’re in the process of planning a European tour for next fall to highlight the expanding field of EGD, feature examples of award-winning work that’s being produced on a global level, and continue promoting best practices in the field. With 1,600 members in 26 countries, SEGD is eliciting more and more interest around the world. We look forward to continuing our leadership role in helping to strengthen and further the field for the future. |

At the same time, our members are seeing local design codes change for the better, reflecting a more experiential orientation. Local municipalities are using codes to create good design results. Federal guidelines are doing the same. For example, new ADA guidelines divide signs into categories for the visually impaired as

CANADA – A Debate emc and led signage

McKay, general manager of Signage Canada. “As it stands now, while LED or EMCs are not permitted, an applicant can spend $750 on a Variance Development Permit, and take your chances with city hall that you may get a sign approved.” Along the way, the Sign Association of Canada, the British Columbia chapter, and ISA have been involved, attempting to inform the city council and help them create reasonable sign codes. In the city of Nanaimo, in British Columbia, a bit of indecision over signage has kicked off a national debate. The city itself has struggled with the issue of EMCs and LED signage since 2006, setting up bylaws, then reversing them. That’s created something of a sign code nightmare. Originally, the city permitted “animated” signage, which was presumed to be flashing neon. As LED signage became more prevalent, the city council banned any new LED applications while it studied the issue. Along the way, it has passed codes, only to immediately overturn them, reinstate them, and overturn them. “After five years of to and fro, the city is further behind than when they started,” said Bill

While Nanaimo has not yet proven successful in terms of crafting business-friendly sign legislation, stories about the laborious process have triggered a wave of sign code issues across the country. “We have had some success in reaching out to these regulatory committees,” said Just Cole, general manager of the Sign Association of Canada. “We’ve said, ‘Let us help you at the initial stage of your bylaw review.’ We’ve had some success with that, and others where we’ve had to come from behind the eight-ball to make changes. It’s not always how early you get involved, it’s really about how much of an impact you can make and that depends on the local governing body.”

Fostering a relationship with government officials is also key. Cole relates a story of laws in Toronto that targeted out-of-home advertising. Initially, lawmakers assured sign professionals that the legislation would not affect their industry. The Ontario Chapter of SAC showed up in force at a committee meeting and made sure that lawmakers understood how the legislation would affect signs. “Now there is a great relationship with them,” Cole said. “They bounce ideas off us before they make them public. It’s certainly easier when it’s at the start rather than coming from behind like we had to in Toronto.” It also has helped to have access to the Recommended Brightness Levels of On-Premise EMCs developed by ISA. “We’re always glad to have the material that ISA has produced to provide to these officials as they discuss these issues,” Cole said. “We have had a lot of success with EMC and mercury regulations.” And there is still that possibility in Nanaimo, McKay said. The city council is up for election in the fall and he holds out hope that “we can seek help and advice from SAC in drafting a business friendly sign bylaw.” |

Noteworthy West Hollywood Billboard Tax Proposal Defeated Voters in West Hollywood (CA) resoundingly rejected a proposed billboard tax that would’ve enacted a 7% tax on outdoor advertising in the community. More than 3,800 votes – approximately 80% of the 4,848 ballots – cast opposed the measure. The West Hollywood Chamber of Commerce called the proposal deceptive, and City Attorney Michael Jenkins deemed it legally questionable because it would burden protected speech. The district’s Congressman, Democrat Henry Waxman, also opposed the measure. At presstime, the results weren’t yet official because nearly 1,000 mail-in ballots hadn’t been tabulated, but it’s impossible for the additional ballots to sway the results.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING

“Hanley was recognized in 1990 with SEGD’s first Angel Award, which is given to an individual who promotes the highest values in environmental-graphic design.”

By Pat Knapp

Hanley Bloom (1936-2011) Hats off to the architectural-sign innovator The following is excerpted from an article written for the Society for Environmental Graphic Design (SEGD) newsletter. Pat Knapp is SEGD’s director of communications.

H anley Bloom, co-founder of Architectural Signing Inc. (ASI), along with his twin brother, Stanley, and a pioneer in the architectural-signage industry, died March 15. The Neiman & Co. sales manager, and longtime SEGD member, was 75. Hanley was known for his infectious smile, his fun-loving nature, and his passionate dedication to ensure that fair, clear, and understandable accessibility guidelines and sign regulations were adopted in California and nationwide. He was a member of the Best Practice Advisory Committee on Signage in California and principal author of A Guide to Building Signage in California, which he compiled to guide EGD professionals through complex sign codes. Hanley quickly grasped the far-reaching signage implications of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Jack Biesek, Biesek Design, a longtime Bloom colleague, said, “These booklets clarified and defined every known sign code in the state. He worked diligently to read over the sign laws, and cull out the wheat from the chaff, and offered this information to anyone who was interested. He was truly a benevolent soul who could see how the good of the individual benefited the good of the group.” In 1959, at age 23, Hanley used $800 in winnings from bowling competitions to start the Custom Stamp Co. Soon, brother Stanley joined him. Despite day jobs in Douglas Aircraft Co.’s reproduction department, the brothers made rubber stamps at night, and sold them to stationery stores and other businesses. A pantograph machine helped transition them to signmaking. In 1962, they started the Custom Sign Co., which specialized in engraved signs. In 1966, having recognized architectural firms’ unique signage needs, they established the now-iconic Architectural Signing Inc. (ASI). In 1977, the brothers formed ASI Sign Systems, a joint venture with British company Letraset. Under their direction, it grew to 33 franchisees. Under Hanley’s direction, ASI developed several groundbreaking signage products. As demand for hotstamped signs rose in the mid-60s, Hanley recognized the need for a competing product. He developed a process to make subsurface signs using an offset proof 112 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / MAY 2011

press to produce a reverse image on clear plastic’s second surface. Hanley also developed Panasystems, a popular backlit directory, and embedded-fiberglass signs. Hanley is also credited with the idea of marketing a “line” of sign products that comprise a “system.” Wayne Hunt, Hunt Design principal, said, “In the 1970s, as our profession was emerging as a defined discipline, ASI set the tone for fabricating and manufacturing to designers’ standards. ASI was the first and best of a handful of firms that saw the opportunity to provide ‘architectural-grade’ designs and products. We all specified ASI’s strip backlit directory. Hanley was the front man -- interacting with the designers and clients, making the deals, ensuring that the products were good, spreading the religion of good corporate design. He, along with John Follis, Deborah Sussman and a couple of others, were the early faces of the EGD field on the West Coast.” Between 1982 and 1987, the Bloom brothers acquired Letraset’s interests in ASI and built a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Nashville. ASI was sold to a New York-based investor group in 1988, and the Nashville plant was sold to a franchisee. In 1990, Hanley bought Stanley’s ASI shares. He ran its Marina del Rey facility until 1992, when he filed for bankruptcy. For the next few years, with investment by Neiman and Co. (Van Nuys, CA), Hanley worked to innovate signage. He later became a Neiman sales representative and served as its sales manager at the time of his death. “He was an icon,” says Harry Neiman, Neiman & Co. founder, who first met Bloom in 1966. Wayne McCutcheon, current SEGD president, said “Hanley was recognized in 1990 with SEGD’s first Angel Award, which is given to an individual who promotes the highest values in environmental-graphic design and significantly contributes to the direction and growth of SEGD. On a personal level, anyone who knew Hanley was inspired by his dedication, his colorful personality and his wry smile. He was a born salesman in the best sense of the word, and his passing leaves a huge void in the SEGD community.” A memorial service was held April 9 in Los Angeles. In lieu of flowers, the family asks that donations be made to SEGD in Hanley’s honor.
