Your GO-TO sign painter – Old school know-how with today's technology – since 1981.
Four schools in the Savanna school district in Orange County CA received the Gold Ribbon award this month, and called on Big City to create and install these 6 ft. round logo graphics. The panel material is lightweight dibond aluminum composite, the facing is digitally printed with graffiti-resistant laminate.
We installed them all in one day, and here are the results.
Big City provided a school mural at the entry to the school recently for Hutchinson Middle School in La Mirada, near Los Angeles in southern California. Here’s the final product:
Big City provided a school mascot mural recently for Hutchinson Middle School in La Mirada, near Los Angeles in southern California. The client wanted their mascot, the hawk, hand painted in a very large graphic, or what we call supergraphics, making a very impactful impression. (I speculated that they thought about using it for discipline – they could threaten to feed unruly children to it, but that’s just my odd way of thinking…)
The project started in the shop – after settling on a design, a photo was traced to create the 12 colors that would be used. That electronic file in vector format could then be drawn out on the plotter to create the paper pattern for transferring the design.
Then it was on to the project location. After preparing the wall and the windows the graphic would be painted over, the base coat was painted.
Over the next few days, the tedious task of painting in the little blocks of color proceeded. The work began to develop, and the kids at the school really enjoyed watching the progress.
And finally, it was finished. Here is the result:
This week’s work included gym graphics – the school mascot and Alma Mater – at St. Pius X Matthias Academy gym in the southern California town of Downey – just outside of Los Angeles CA. Here are some progress shots, and the result – another happy client.
The Warrior mascot would have taken a lot of time to paint, so in this case he was printed on high-tack vinyl with a matte clear film over laminate:
Here’s the same hand, up on the wall:
Next, the Alma Mater – the background scroll was painted, with white vinyl computer-cut lettering. When you’re up close, it doesn’t make a lot of sense until you see the whole picture:
Here’s the completed project:
This sign painter got to do some sign painting — a school mural — out in Inglewood – just outside of Los Angeles CA, recently:
