Piggly Wiggly Billboard with Extensions

By Dan · Comments (0)

Monday, January 24th, 2011

The Piggly Wiggly project was fun to work on. There are a few key points that needed to be covered when designing the billboard. The billboard needed to help further establish the Piggly Wiggly brand identity, it needed to direct people to the grocery store, and needed to state “Lowest meat prices in Dothan”. The additional copy on the billboard was information the client wanted on the sign. When designing billboards it is very important to understand the amount of time someone will have to view the graphic, and how far away they will be when viewing it.

We added the extensions to the billboard to give it a little extra character and to bring more attention to “The Pig”. The Pig in the Piggly Wiggly logo is the focal point. Extensions carry the pig shape outside of the standard billboard frame extending it into space. Special frames have to be fabricated to hold the printed extensions. Many years ago while in high school my first paying job was at Piggly Wiggly stocking shelves and bagging groceries. In those days I would have never imagined drawing a billboard sign for Piggly Wiggly.

Heard Magnet School Apply Now Yard Signs

By Dan · Comments (0)

Monday, January 24th, 2011

Heard Magnet School in Dothan, Alabama is getting ready for open enrollment where parents can submit applications for their children to attend the school. Mrs. Maddox, the school Principle, asked me to design yard signs to let parents in the neighborhood know they can apply. The dates for applications were left off of the yard signs intentionally to allow the school to use them at other times of the year and in the future if needed.

The yard signs are printed in full color directly on coroplast for a low cost effective way to advertise. Coroplast can be described as corrugated plastic. If you have ever looked at a political yard sign most likely it was made out the same type material.

If you found your way to my blog looking for a way to apply for admission to Heard Magnet School please direct your calls to 334-794-1471.

Heard Magnet School Yard Signs

By Dan · Comments (0)

Tuesday, October 12th, 2010

Everyone has seen the political yard signs on every street corner across this land. Yard signs are a great way to show your support for someone running for political office, and even better showing support for your child doing well in school. Heard Magnet School asked if we could put together a full color yard sign for the “Star Readers” of Heard Magnet School. Of course we answered the call by designing and printing full color 18×24 inch yard signs on coroplast.

The PTO of the school asked that we produce the sign to reflect other diving and underwater themed items them have at the school this year. In keeping with the theme we utilized a stock image to save time and keep the cost of the project to a minimum. The stock image was modified to fit the size requirements.

If you are in need of yard signs to advertise 509 Media has a very low minimum order of 4 signs. Of better price breaks start at 10 yard signs. Be sure to contact us for more details.

Moose Knuckles MMA Pub and Grill

By Dan · Comments (2)

Monday, August 16th, 2010

Moose Knuckles is a new Pub and Grill opening in Dothan, AL. The theme for Moose Knuckles is for MMA fans (mixed martial arts). I don’t think this is the type place you would want to walk in and complain too much about your food and drinks because you may end up in a triangle. We printed the moose for Dick Whatley Sign Service for a huge sign face they are fabricating. The print will be placed in a 5 foot diameter round sign face. The print was printed on clear vinyl and then laminated. The print will be edge cut after install.

If you are into watching UFC fighting and mma then you should go check out Moose Knuckles Pub and Grill in Dothan, AL.

Peak Empire Racing have been hard at work getting ready for the Vegas to Reno race coming up later this month. They needed pit boards to hold up so their drivers would know where to stop. Take my word for it pit stops are needed in a desert race. The signs were cut from reflective orange vinyl and placed on white coroplast. The pit boards should do the job for Peak Empire Racing.

Yard Signs for Lil Shorty’s Inflatables

By Dan · Comments (0)

Wednesday, July 14th, 2010

Yard signs are used for company advertising and political campaigns. They can be very effective in spreading your message for a minimal cost. Advertising is a necessary task for any company to prosper, and yard signs can be a low cost effective way to get the job done. Lil Shorty’s Inflatables came to 509 Media needing business cards, yard signs, and vehicle graphics.

The Lil Shorty’s Inflatables yard signs feature the same picture of the super hero card featured on their business cards. Because the company did not have a logo or the budget to create one we opted with a memorable image. The yard signs are printed in full color on white coroplast. We offer them with or without the yard stakes to place them in the ground.

If your company is looking for yard signs to advertise with 509 Media can design, print, and ship yard signs to any location. Contact our design staff today for more details.

Lawn Care Yard Signs for Sibley

By Dan · Comments (1)

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

Sibley Lawn Care contracted 509 Media to design a new image for their lawn care company. The project started with a new lawn care company logo design, and then our staff designed a new business card to represent their company. While we are working on putting together a vinyl graphics package for their Isuzu box truck we knocked out some full color yard signs.

The full color yard signs are printed on coroplast and come with an optional metal stake to place them on the job site. The Sibley Lawn Care yard signs measure 24 inches wide and 18 inches tall. We do offer other full color yard sign sizes. 509 Media offers full color yard signs for cheaper than most offer cheap looking vinyl cut letter signs. Be sure to contact us for a quote for your next yard sign order. We can ship yard signs to any location around the world.

Be sure to check out the Sibley Lawn Care business card design we recently completed. You will notice the look on the business card was used on the yard signs. We will carry the same theme to other projects we are working on for Sibley Lawn Care. The reason this is important to establish brand and improve chances potential customers will recall the company name at a later time. Another reason I stress this to clients is to increase customer confidence in your company. Customers will feel more confident in a company that appears to have their act together.

Full Color Printed Menu Boards for Ice Cream Truck

By Dan · Comments (2)

Sunday, June 27th, 2010

509 Media designed and printed full color menu boards for Kombi Ice Cream. The menu boards were printed on 3m CV3 and laminated to protect them. The prints were applied to Max-Metal. The Max-Metal was cut to shape to replace the door panels in the Kombi Ice Cream truck. When Kombi Ice Cream sets up for an event all they have to do is swing the side doors open to reveal the menu boards.

You may notice a cut out in the left panel. This cut out allows the sign to be placed around the interior door handle on the VW Bus Ice Cream Truck.

We can design menu boards and signs for restaurants as well. If you would like a FREE quote feel free to call or email 509 Media.
