featured project - retail store branding project
We just completed an extensive branding and point-of-purchase signage project for the Santa Barbara Zoo. The new store has a dramatic round overhead sign and wall posters as well.
The overhead cylinder frame was fabricated from square aluminum tubing and then powder coated. It breaks down for shipping, moving through doors, etc. We printed the images on 3M Controltac and mounted the laminated images on 3mm sheet PVC. The inside and outside image sets, although similar, actually are different widths to accomodate the differing circle circumferences. The PVC panels were installed to the frame on site and the entire assembly hoisted to the ceiling joists for attachment.
The world map was also printed on Controltac, laminated and applied to a single piece of sheet steel to provide a magnetic-receptive surface.
Next time you're on top of the hill by the elephants, check out the new store!

featured project - lions & condors & elephants, oh my!
We just finished wrapping the Santa Barbara Zoo's passenger van: full wrap on the sides and rear doors, decals on the front doors and hood, plus perforated vinyl on the rear and side windows. The graphics were printed on our workhorse Mimaki JV3 solvent printer on 3M Controltac and laminated with 3M 8519 cast laminate(for best wrapping); the rear and side windows were covered with Clear Focus perforated window vinyl - the graphics look great and you can still see out. Some of the graphics, such as the condor and palm tree on the rear, were printed separately and applied last for best alignment. Who's next?
Vehicle advertising wraps are one of the most powerful and cost-effective types of off premises advertising available. Our professionally trained staff can design, produce and install your partial or full ad wrap. Or, we can coach your favorite graphic artist on designing your wrap, then produce and install your wrap. We have the templates and know-how to get the job done.
We also have leasing available for ad wraps as well as other types of signage. You can have your van ad wrap designed, produced and installed by us for under $200 a month (36 month lease). Your ad wrap can generate over 10,000 impressions per month - park it, drive it, everybody will see it! What other advertising medium can give you that much bang for your buck?
