Red Cup Yogurt Interior Logo - Menu - Spinner Signs

One of our long time customers Red Cup Yogurt recently opened a new location in Oceanside and asked us to create some new custom menu signage, interior logo signage and some fun spinner signs that they could use at the new branch. 






Seaside Wealth Management Interior Signage

On this project the customer wanted an interior sign that was high end and professional. We were able to create this look by making a custom laser cut 1/4" thick acrylic backing shape w/ second surface printed graphics applied to the back side of the acrylic and raised laser cut acrylic elements applied to the surface for a very dimensional and rich look. We finished it off with some offset wall mounts and installed in the customers reception area.


City of Oceanside Lifeguard Sandblasted Sign

On this project we were asked to create a new double sided sandblasted sign for the Oceanside Lifeguard Dept. This was a great project as we were able to do some different things on this project such as hand painting and hand lettering the raised elements and installing with custom brackets. In the end this was another fun project with great looking results.




Pestgon Frontage Sign

We recently won a bid to complete a new frontage sign for Pestgon Termite Co. For this project we had to create a sign that conformed to the building complex's  sign code. So we made this frontage sign out of 3/16" thick aluminum backing piece with custom water jetted and painted aluminum text and custom bolt covers. This project was a nice and rewarding challenge for us and all parties loved the end result.






North County Pavers Van Graphics

For this project the customer had a great vision of what he wanted to do with his vehicle graphics. We had set up a photo shoot where we took high resolution photos of the owners beloved dog and used that as a center piece for this design. Was a really exciting project and is one of our favorite installs to date and is a great example of an eye catching design that effectively promotes your business everywhere you go!




Museum of Making Music Monument Sign

Another project we had a lot of fun with was the update of a museums monument sign. We updated this with custom 3/4" thick formed plastic letters and a 3/8" painted thick laser cut acrylic logo cut out.  


USMC Mira Mar Ribbon Board

These are another one of our favorite projects. We started making these kinds of ribbon boards a couple years ago now and they always look great. This particular board is composed of 1/2" thick MDO w/ high performance vinyl graphics applied to the fascia with custom changeable nameplates, 1/2" thick MDO ribbons w/ laser cut acrylic stars and decorative accents. We finished off this project with 4" painted steel square tubing than installed on the customers work site. 




Mira Costa College Various Vehicle Graphics

We recently won a bid with Mira Costa College to add new graphics to their entire vehicle fleet. This was a fun and challenging project as it was close to 15 vehicles total. This project included partial vehicle wraps like the Ford Sedan below, Box Truck graphics with large full color digital prints and work vehicle graphics like on the Chevy Van and Ford Truck at the bottom. All in all a great project with beautiful results.













Johnson's Sporting Goods Window Graphics

This is another great example of eye catching and effective window graphics. For this project we were challenged to create a new logo design that would incorporate the customers product line (guns and ammo), favorite color combinations and a sense of history. We were able to use a mix of high performance gold metallic vinyl, digitally printed vinyl and cut vinyl graphics to make sure we covered all of the items the customer needed and the end result looks fantastic!





HYPERIKON Van Graphics


These vehicle graphics were done using a mix of high performance cut vinyl and digitally printed vinyl graphics. Effective vehicle graphics like this are a tremendous value and a great way to promote your company! 





Herca Solar Building Frontage

We completed this frontage sign using a mix of custom laser cut acrylic and aluminum faced panels w/ full color graphics. The end result is a frontage sign that is professional, clean and effective!




From The Inside Out Window Graphics

On this project the customer did not want to use a typical wall mounted frontage sign for her store front. Due to the wide variety of services they provide we decided that a set of eye catching, well designed window graphics would be the best solution and the results speak for themselves!



Fred Loya Insurance Directional Sign

We always love these kinds of projects. For this project the customer really wanted a fun directional sign that would stand out amongst the sea of standard square cut 18" x 24" coroplast signs. The solution was to create a custom cut shape and apply digitally printed contour cut graphics on both sides. The result is a directional/promotional sign that gets peoples attention by standing out.



Country Club Villas Street Frontage Sign

We recently completed a project for Country Club Villas who were in need of a new street frontage sign. The challenge on this project was coming up with a cost effective way to use the current base but create an updated look for the sign. We were able to accomplish this by creating a modern, updated version of their existing logo and using high quality digitally printed vinyl graphics applied to custom cut aluminum faced panels to give the sign an appealing and refreshed look.




City of Oceanside Transportation Acrylic Project


For this project the City needed some identification signage above a new multipurpose traffic observation screen. We decided to do this project out of 1/4" thick laser cut acrylic which adds a little bit of dimension and great durability. Overall this was a nice straight forward project with a great final result.

11th Marine Custom Regimental/Command Boards

About a year ago we won a bid to create some custom Command Boards for a military unit on Camp Pendleton. This was a very cool project for us as we had never done anything quite like this before. You almost have to see these in person to get the full effect as they are full of dimension and detail. For this project we were able to incorporate custom frames, laser cut acrylic text and raised graphics. To this day these are still some of our favorites and allowed us to do a couple more of these for other units on base.





Carlsbad Community Church Aluminum Wall Sign

For this project we used 1" thick aluminum to make a wall sign that would give a high end look and offer exceptional exterior durability. To install the sign we ended up making a custom railing for the back that we were able to mount directly to the wall. In the end this will be a sign that will look great for a long time to come.
