[Larry White]

Fine, pefectly fine.

That's smart of you, spreadin' out the work to others like that...

Hey Jenco, think about it, a portfolio, displayed all over town....well, that's Lodi.

They're gonna elect you mayor someday!



The name ain't White, it's Postalwhite....William Blake Postalwhite.

This sign is a real beauty Tony, and don't forget Danny Baronian's
great fabricating job too.
Say Danny, how did you do the curved arch piece over the sign?
I'm guessing a Signfoam situation.

Mark

[Jerry Berg]

Very nice Tony! I like the overall design of the structure a lot. Great work by the others too!

Seegar & Company,
Beautiful, just beautiful!

Beautifully executed. Reminds me of an outdoor job done for a bank in the 60's. Only lasted a year due to freeze and thaw climate. Has this work allowed for moisture build-up and possible accumulation of moisture due to temp changes? This is a great concept but may be limited to areas that don't experience severe weather changes. Nevertheless it remains beautiful and an inspiration for those of us who follow this site and appreciate the visionaries amongst us. Bob.

Mr. T.S.,

That's one fine looking sign there! Did you have any problems with the sign permit?

Ron

[Danny Baronian]

Mark,

it's all pvc except the large glass frame.

Danny

[Pat Welter]

Love it Tony, I to was wondering about the moisture issue, is that a sealed frame the glass is set in? In any case, it is well suited to the building, love the way you mimicked the entrance including the steps. On the bevel glass, I'm assuming you use a transparent paint colour and back it up with transparent white (like the way we used to do backlit faces). Tony Shes a beaut...Pat.

[Jim Moser]

Absolutely beautiful Tony !

[Tony Segale]

Gettin back to the beginning of my story....

the shape, Joe, was based of the building entry, of course.

the material, Mark, was entirely PVC, except for the glass,
helps to have a fellow letterhead in the biz with a computer router and
a background in furniture and cabinet making, Danny Baronian,
he's one fine builder

we discussed holes for moisture buildup... Dan did an excellent job of allowing holes at the bottom of the cabinet, with fine mesh screens to keep the intruders out
he also built a small box on the inside of each pillar which contains a moisture absorbing material

Pat, the colors in the glass were thinned transparent screen inks and backup silver (white), drizzled onto the glass, all together, which was pre-flowed with mineral spirits,
allowed to flow together, with a little assistance by rotating the glass, then kept level overnight

and, Ron, no problem with the permits, like Larry says, I'm the mayor and they do like I tell 'em!
