Our client Parts Authority just added a third hand painted sign to the two we painted for them in 2016 at their Redlands CA store. If you want cost-effective signage, professional painted signs can be a great choice. Here’s how the store looks…

GoldRibbonSchool-FIXEDlogoIt’s Gold Ribbon School award season here in Southern California again! Big City Signs is your school award sign expert. Click here to contact us for a successful Gold Ribbon Award sign project.

Why? Here’s why:

First, Big City Signs is a licensed, insured CA contractor – lic. # 936391

Third, since 1981, I’ve had the opportunity to help many schools with murals and award signs – throughout Southern California, from San Diego to Los Angeles and just about everywhere in between. Click this link to see samples.

Recent work — UC Irvine water tank graphics

Posted on May 8, 2017 | Leave a comment

Hand painted graphics are very suitable for rough surfaces. That’s one reason why Big City was called on to provide this approx. 28′ x 31′ UCI logo graphic on the northwest side of this 100′ high central plant water tank at UC Irvine in Orange County, CA.

Here, the 125′ lift is ready to go:

UCI-1-START

 

After prepping the surface with steel wool etching and a TSP wash, the paper pattern to transfer the full size design to the surface was applied and painting began.

 

Here you can see the depth of those ribs, and how big the work actually is:

UCI-4-DETAIL

 

Just for fun, I took a few photos from the lift to show how high it is:

 

Aaaaaannnnd… we’re done! Another happy client.
