With the advent of digital graphics there are many more decisions to make when it comes to having graphics or “wraps” applied to your vehicle. There are 2 types of graphics in use today, digital and vinyl. On the one hand vinyl graphics will deliver truer, deeper colors but their use is limited in delivering gradients often referred to as a “fade” where the color tone of the material “fades” or varies along a range of points throughout the graphic. On the other hand, digital graphics can deliver more muted subtle color combinations that your logo or design theme may rely on whereas vinyl graphics cannot. Fades or gradients are typically an integral part of any vehicle “wrap”. In addition, digital graphics can deliver far more complex color combinations that may be needed throughout the graphics you desire ... Read More
What is a monument sign anyway? A monument sign is a distinctive, unique structure that announces to your customers that they’ve arrived at a “destination” and makes a statement about your business, your office, your city, your street or subdivision of the image of the organization. A monument sign burnishes the image you’re trying to convey.
While monument signs can be “stick built” from scratch using brick and mortar, Majestic Sign specializes in monument signs that are made from molded, expanded polystyrene for the structure, which is then coated with an aromatic fast cure poly-armor that gives it an impact resistant hard coat finish that is virtually indestructible. Once the structure is complete the external surface is molded with 100% aggregate acrylic and coated to create virtually any finish affect you like whether smooth or textured. When finished, the ...

Wouldn’t it be great if you could dine in the city/country that inspired your dinner tonight? Rome, Paris, Peking, New Orleans? How about the next best thing?
Custom wall wraps were created to provide atmosphere to any space you live, visit, occasion or are passionate about. We’ve seen and installed some great backdrops like a Paris street café, a surfer “catching a wave” in a sporting goods store, car or team logos for the “man-cave” and even a company logo emblazoned on a conference room wall. Wall murals add the ‘wow’ factor to a space that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Graphic print wallpaper is typically applied by a professional paper hanger. (It is removed the same way you remove regular wallpaper.) While we’ve seen an surge in temporary vinyl wall graphics, wallpaper murals take the old fashion route. They are ... Read More
In this project we helped an industrial fastener company “re-image” their fleet of vehicles located in 3 locations throughout the state and also adjusted various signage through their facilities to introduce a more cohesive look . For the vehicles, the challenge was to strip off the current graphics, – some as old as 9 years and apply new material so as to not to leave behind any shadow affect from the prior graphics. The other task was to convince the company that “less was more” in introducing the new logo design to their fleet. As you can see, in the prior design the customer had much more detail than what the new graphics evolved to. To deliver a “cleaner” look we eliminated excessive information like street addresses and phone numbers on each vehicle – which all can be readily accessed ... Read More
For this project Majestic Sign was challenged to design a “way finding” system to assist patients and visitors arriving from multiple elevator banks and staircases throughout the hospital to their correct destination in the Labor and Delivery (L&D) area of the hospital. The goal was to minimize physician and nursing staff interruptions handing out directions to hospital visitors. The “dynamic ribbon system” shown here accurately informed “way finding” regardless of what physical location along the “ribbon” the visitor arrived at while also providing an unobtrusive design to matched the soft “feel” of the L&D area. The system was laminated to comply with stringent health and housekeeping requirements and installed during primary business hours without interfering with hospital operation on a very busy floor.
In this project the goal was to exactly match factory installed graphics on an existing vehicle to new vehicles so as to create a unified fleet. This was accomplished by “gridding off” photos of the current vehicle and placing those in different regions along the new vehicle so as to ensure exact placement of new graphics up and down and left and right along the vehicle. When the ambulance was added to the fleet the key challenge was make sure all striping was accurately placed relative to existing vehicles in the fleet and aligned perfectly straight even around complex radiuses, body opening and closures. In addition the “stork” was designed to inject a little whimsy into the overall look. ... Read More
In this project we had to reapply graphics that were incorrectly installed by a prior company and had separated from the valley of a body line. Since this vehicle was part of a larger fleet it was critical to ensure consistency of look from vehicle-to-vehicle so we “gridded off” photos of the current vehicle and placed those in different regions along the vehicle ensuring exact placement of new graphics and consistency of look for the fleet of this company. ...

For this project we designed this restaurants first foray into channel cut letters. In their prior location they had simple dimensional letters mounted to their storefront illuminated by floodlights so they were apprehensive about taking the next step. By checking out our “project” page you can track its progression from “can” cutting and forming, to lens creation, from LED placement to final sign installation. To deliver this project we secured city sign variances for size and placement. We can do the same for your next complex sign project, check out our testimonial page to see how pleased this customer was and how we can deliver similar results for you. ... Read More
