Augusta Sign Company Makes Big Banner

Every now and then I get a call requesting a banner that is larger than the standard size. When I say standard I’m talking 4′ X 8′ or 3′ X 10′. Once last year a church ordered a banner that was 8′ high by 32′ wide to advertise an upcoming evangelistic series on Interstate 64. This year, I had the opportunity to make a fairly large banner for the gymnasium wall of a local Christian school that was 4′ tall by 20′ long.

There is not much different in making a banner normal size or huge; you just have to pay attention to resolution to make sure the finished banner is not blurry and unreadable. Sometimes hanging larger banners can pose extra challenges than smaller ones, especially if outdoors exposed to the wind, or mounted at above normal heights.

Here’s a picture of the banner…

Let me know if I can help you with one sometime! They definitely get the attention you seek.

Recent Project at SVOE

Working with Tim Hebb, owner of SVOE headquartered in Verona, Virginia, Augusta Sign Company provided the graphics for the company’s brand new brick entrance sign leading into the main parking lot.

The logos are all custom-painted 1″ thick acrylic, stud-mounted to the stucco background of the sign, and they make a welcoming greeting to visitors approaching the Augusta County based business. Like most sign companies, I chose GEMINI letters because of their affordable cost and lifetime warranty.

When I previously owned and operated Tree Street Signs of Crimora back in the 1990’s we only had one occasion where a GEMINI letter fell off a wall and was slightly damaged…at a Ford Dealership in Covington, (if I remember correctly). GEMINI replaced it right away at no cost whatsoever!

The exterior signage looks so good, Tim is in the process of contemplating a set of graphics for his interior showroom wall!

If you need custom wall letters, logos, or plaques at your business in Verona, Stuarts Draft, Waynesboro, Staunton, or Fishersville, or anywhere in or around Augusta County, please call me.

New Church Signs for Westminster Presbyterian Church, Waynesboro, VA

As the new minister at Westminster Presbyterian Church set up shop a few weeks ago, new signage designed and manufactured by Augusta Sign Company was being installed outside!

The old sign system was dated, faded, cracked and falling apart. The old signs were removed and replaced with new or refurbished sign panels of consistent elements of design, color and materials. The main sandblasted sign was completely restored with colors of the website branding, two shades of blue, gray, white and maroon.  A changeable panel sign was added to the bottom of the main sign and then replicated on matching carved cedar signs at the church’s main entrances.

Permits were applied for and secured by Augusta Sign Company and all the fabrication and installation was completed over the month of August, 2015. The treated posts were very green when installed, so they will be finished a gray color that matches the other posts in the system once dried. The property committee of the church is working on mulch beds below the signs to add attractiveness and prevent weed-eater damage to the posts as they have experienced in the past.

The complete sign system consisted of restoring and upgrading the main sign, building two new parking lot entrance signs as pictured, restoring five existing small building and directional signs, and adding two new building signs for the sanctuary and chapel entrances.  The new pastor is surveying needs for new interior signage as well. After the signs were completed, I received many positive comments and the new pastor is using the sign design in her programs!  Pretty cool project. I liked the opportunity to help by using my talents to draw community-attention to a Christ-focused organization. The project cost was just over $6,000, with several members donating steel brackets, mulching, and 6 X 6 treated posts.
