Taco Tweets Go Grande in Texas It’s probably possible to throw a rock in Texas and hit someone who can make good tacos. Evidently, convenience stores are a hotbed of the crunchy Mexican staple. Firehouse, a Dallas-based advertising agency, developed a unique, digital-billboard campaign for Stripes, a conveniencestore chain with more than 500 locations throughout Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico. Approximately half its locations operate Laredo Taco Co. restaurants, and Susser Holdings, Stripes’ parent company, hired Firehouse to spice up its foodservice business. Stripes and Laredo Taco Co. aficionados increasingly follow the company via Twitter (at presstime, Stripes enjoyed approximately 1,000 Twitter followers) and frequently post tweets that rave about its fire. Seeking to reach a broader audience, Firehouse partnered with Lamar Advertising to place the campaign on eight digital billboards in six markets. The campaign, which ended March 6, uses Lamar’s iSpot, technology, which allows billboards to SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011
include live-data feeds (and integrate Twitter and dynamic billboards, two surging media platforms). Kari Streiber, Firehouse’s public-relations director, says signage represents approximately 15% of the agency’s work. She added, “Out-of-home [OOH] advertising provides a vehicle that engages customers during the purchase decision, and digital boards provide greater creative flexibility. This is the first OOH campaign Firehouse has executed that encompasses social-media messaging. The customers’ voices create the connection.”

The Devil You Don’t Know Sagacious wisdom: The devil you know is better than … CNC machinery helps fabricate almost every manufactured item in the world today. son
“S tuxnet” is the name of the software worm that, news agencies claim, unidentified sources created and released in midsummer 2009 to, allegedly, gravely affect the computers that drive Iran’s nuclearfuel-building centrifuge devices. The New York Times, on January 15, said Stuxnet is the most sophisticated cyber weapon ever deployed. The Iranians said it didn’t hurt their systems, but Yukiya Amano, the secretary general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, on Nov. 23, 2010, announced that Iran had recently shut down its Natanz uranium-enrichment plant for seven days. Subsequent rumors said it seriously damaged the operation and, eventually, Iran’s President Ahmadinejad publicly acknowledged that his nuclear program had been disrupted by computer software that attacked its centrifuges. California-based Symantec Corp. said more than 62,000 Iranian computers were affected. A computer worm is an injurious program that, once loaded, replicates and operates on its own. Unlike a computer virus, a worm doesn’t imbed into host programs –
wanted to sabotage Iran’s nuclearfuel-building efforts and, via Stuxnet, attacked and subsequently delayed by several years Iran’s ability to construct a nuclear power plant. Or bomb. Allegedly, Stuxnet is the first worm to search out and affect the computers that control digitally programmed, CNC-type machines. It is certainly the most effective, to date. I say “to date,” because, with worm and virus builders, hackers, intelligence agencies and terrorists, one nasty deed always seems to follow another. In its February 3 Associated Industries of Massachusetts (AIM) Business Insider newsletter, writer Christopher Geehem said of Stuxnet: “An extraordinary stroke of digital espionage by the United States may forever change the way manufacturing companies look at the security and vulnerability of their operations.” Geehem said the Stuxnet assault is a first where nations have created computer malware to cause physical damage to the machinery of another. Purportedly, the antagonists designed the malware to fit onto USB-type thumb drives that, most likely, were carried into Iran’s Natanz facility by unsuspecting

The street word says the two nations 10 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011
service technicians. A future version may wirelessly transfer. The Iranian centrifuges use Siemens controllers – as do numerous other global-manufacturing firms. The New York Times suggested U.S. and Israeli intelligence agencies obtained similar
machines to test the centrifuge controllers’ vulnerabilities. Stuxnet searches for industrial control systems with frequencyconverter drives that display certain serial-number sequences. Upon finding them, Stuxnet takes control of the drive computers and, as well, any linked, CNC-controlled devices, such as the Iranian centrifuges. Some believe the worm-building team learned the machine series numbers by surreptitiously acquiring Sieman’s Iran sales records. Therefore, because the infiltration team had designed the system to search Sieman’s centrifuge drivers for serial-number sequences, Iran received 60% of the worldwide, Stuxnet hits. Most were at its Natanz nuclear-development facility. There, the Stuxnet-infected computers instructed the centrifuges to spin out of control, which razed the bearing and drive systems, while the computer monitors said all systems were okay. Sean McGurk, head of the Dept. of Homeland Security’s Cybersecurity Center, said the Stuxnet code can enter a system, steal (and relay) the product-manufacturing procedure and, simultaneously, hurtfully modify the in-process manufacturing operation while telling the operator (and any anti-worm software) that everything is functioning well. Computer systems commonly instruct advanced-manufacturing processes by translating and feeding computerized drawings, codes or instructions into computer-numericcontrolled (CNC) machinery that produce the tangible machine work. For example, a CNC system will command a cutting router to perform certain actions – predetermined revolutions, angles, tracking speed, travel distance – while simultaneously recording and returning the actual movement codes to the computer, so the system can

compare real-time movements with those of the original design and, if necessary, make instant corrections. Classic examples are digital printers, cutting plotters, routers and channelletter bending machines. Geehem said Stuxnet creates a global dilemma for manufacturing companies because most factories have CNC-controlled machines – multi-axis cutting devices, print
presses, plastic-injection machines and more. Michael Assante, head of the National Board of Information Security Examiners, told Congress that the most dangerous attacks won’t disable systems – but will take control and manipulate them to trigger accidents or other actions. Wired magazine said Stuxnet has begun a cyber war.
Imagine such a worm permeating the Lockheed Martin Corp., Boeing or a relative supplier. An instigator could clandestinely restructure the manufacturing of aircraft components – hydraulic pumps, for example – so their failure date would come months ahead of the scheduled replacement.

Automatic Alignment Snaps with Adobe Illustrator CS4 and CS5 By Theresa Jackson Professional designs are – must be – clean and orderly. Billboards, signs, banners and building graphics are easier to read when text and objects align with one another. Alignment is especially important for wide-format design, because anything that appears slightly off position will magnify tenfold when printed super large. For example, caption text should center exactly under an image, not somewhere nearby. Adobe’s Smart Guides alignment tools, first introduced in Illustrator CS4, provide an easy solution for perfect object alignment. Understanding and applying the tools can save you significant time. Here’s how they work: In Illustrator CS4, ensure the Smart Guides tools are active by checking the preference settings in Illustrator. Go to Illustrator>Preferences>Smart Guides. Next, select the Alignment Guides setting, which, I believe, is the most useful setting in the Smart Guides preference panel. Once activated, it provides automatic – and exact – alignment when you’re creating new objects, or moving existing ones. In Illustrator CS5, go to View>Smart Guides (it must be checked for the Smart Guides to work). CS5’s View Smart Guides allows you to toggle the Smart Guides on and off, without having to access the preference panel. Interestingly, Adobe InDesign’s Smart Guides works in the same manner. The Smart Guides default color is green, and this works well for me. The remaining settings – Object Highlighting, Transform Tools, Anchor/Path Labels/Measurement Labels and Construction Guides – aren’t necessary for the auto-alignment feature to work, but they are worth investigating. Object Highlighting highlights the edges of an object as your cursor hovers over it; thus, it highlights an object’s bounding box without selecting the object. Transform Tools will snap anchor points to preset angles. Anchor/Path Labels flashes popup labels for anchor point, path, center and more, as the cursor hovers over 12 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011
an object. In the same way, it also signals the center of the art board. Many designers find these labels distracting, but the feature is useful in some situations. Measurement Labels provide size measurements while drawing, and distance sums while moving existing objects. They’re helpful if size is important when drawing and positioning objects. Construction Guides identify similar planes and angles, which you can specify under the popup menu. Be sure to save your preferences. Once the Smart Guides are active, it’s time to experiment. Create a new art board in Illustrator and select the Rectangle Tool. Before drawing anything, hover your cursor around the center of the document. You’ll see a green, vertical and/or a horizontal guideline appear when your cursor finds the document center. Now draw a simple box. If you’ve switched on the Anchor/Path Labels setting, you’ll see a measurement label as you draw. Slowly draw a second box close to the first one. Look for the green Smart Guides to pop-up as your cursor finds an edge or the center of the first box. Now draw a simple box. With the Anchor/Path Labels setting turned on, you’ll see a measurement label as you draw. Slowly draw a second box, close to the first one. Look for the green Smart Guides to pop-up as your cursor finds an edge or the center of the first box. Smart Guides automatically snaps objects into alignment with other objects, or with text on the art board. You don’t need to zoom in for a close-up view. (Nor do you need to clutter your art board with the oncepopular, light-cyan guides.) The snap-to-alignment is precise at any view, even when working on very large art boards – which makes Smart Guides an especially effective tool for wide-format design.

Join the Conversation A Washington, D.C.-area residential complex enjoys engaging window graphics
A s the housing market remains chronically mired in sluggish sales volume and flatlining values, more urban professionals (who would’ve purchased homes in prior generations) now choose to rent. This increased demand heightens competition, which motivates multifamily-unit owners and developers to exploit all available promotional avenues to reach their desired demographic. Kettler (McLean, VA), the majority owner of the newly built Millennium at Metropolitan Park, an upscale, 19-story, 58,000-sq.-ft. apartment complex in Arlington, VA, enlisted Art Display Co. (Capitol Heights, MD) to develop a window-graphic program that provided elegant, yet fun, digital graphics for the property. Arthur Goldberg, Art Display’s executive vice president, said Kettler’s representatives wanted lifesize digital graphics installed in the Millennium’s ground-floor windows that showed people chatting, eating, boutique shopping and otherwise enjoying themselves. He said Art
Kettler (McLean, VA) hired Art Display Co. (Capitol Heights, MD) to develop a windowgraphic program for the Millennium at Metropolitan Park, an upscale, 19-story apartment complex in Arlington, VA. Originally, the client wanted the graphics to display actual photos, but Arthur Goldberg, Art Display’s executive VP, said images found in an online search weren’t sufficient.
Display had served as a signage and architectural-graphics vendor for Kettler for several years, so trust had
Goldberg sold Kettler’s representatives on a series of 16 hand-illustrated graphics, which Goldberg produced, that depict characters at leisure. Art Display digitized the images and output the files at 60 dpi before printing them on a Seiko IP-6900 printer on 3M’s Controltac with Comply air-release media. 14 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011
long been established. Consequently, because finding suitable photographic images proved difficult, Goldberg persuaded them to create graphics from illustrations instead. “The project required six weeks, but the first two were basically wasted on searching for and presenting photos that were ineffective or costprohibitive to produce as high-resolution images,” Goldberg said. After having sold Kettler on the concept, he researched various online images. Using his traditional, artistic training, Goldberg produced by hand 16, 4 x 5-in., ink line drawings that depicted stylish people at leisure. Then, Art Display’s Vlad Solodkov and Diana Cheshmedjiev scanned them on a PC at 650 ppi, produced them at 3.5 x 6 in., and colored them with felt-tip pens and colored pencils. Low-resolution image files were sent to the client for approval. Using Photoshop, Art Display’s design team

Art Display produced this rendering for the window-graphic project, which entailed more than 2,200 sq. ft. Goldberg said the graphics couldn’t include text because, according to Arlington code, they would constitute signage and exceed allowed square footage. Goldberg said, “Art triumphed over bureaucracy.�
enhanced the colors, increased color saturation and boosted the outline contrast. “It was stimulating to implement my traditional drawing skills, which doesn’t happen on many projects,� he said. “However, it was challenging to prepare the images for
large-scale printing. To do this, we had to overlay the black-and-white, outline scan, which meant we had to overlay the scan exactly on top of the colored version.� The 16 graphic panels measure 2,245 sq. ft.; the 8-ft.-tall windows varied in width (some spanned 20 ft.).
Goldberg split each image into sections to account for the window mullions and doorways. He designed each image file as a 60-dpi, 108-in.tall, four-color PDF. After having considered the project’s scope and cost, Goldberg selected 3M’s Controltac with Comply air-egress media. To keep the color vibrant long-term, Art Display coated the graphics with

R egal Entertainment Group (REG), operator of Regal Cinemas, envisioned a bold movie experience that would captivate its audience. This motivation birthed the Regal Premium Experience (RPX). RPX theaters seat 420 and feature 60-ft.-wide screens illuminated by dual, 3-D-capable, digital projectors. Their 100,000-watt sound systems produce 9.1 channels of sound complemented by eight, 21-in.-diameter subwoofers. To create allure that captures moviegoers’ imagination, REG sought a bold design and branding concept that would establish a standard for future RPX theatres. Cima Network VP Keith Denny worked with REG’s Kate Kornhaus, its director of sign services, and the Regal marketing department to create the RPX logo, that would embody the movie experience. We also collaborated on the design with Bob McCall of JKR Partners, a Philadelphia-based leader in movietheatre architecture. The theatre

first installation, at Regal’s E-Walk 13 in NYC, had to be ready for the opening night of Iron Man 2 last May. This was no ordinary project. First, we had to install the 78-in.-tall, reverse-lit channel letters flush to
a convex, curved-glass tile wall. Second, we had to sync the colorchanging lightsource inside a 7-ft.tall, acrylic column with the illuminated portion of the “X.” The colors had to fade from green to blue, two of the most challenging colors to
illuminate effectively. Finally, to comply with ADA requirements, the letter “X” and its push-through acrylic face could protrude no more than 4 in. off the wall. This allowed only 3 in. depth for installing the lightsource.

We stayed in close contact with Regal’s VP, Sam Malek, Kornhaus and the general contractor, LTCI Construction, to coordinate electrical and blocking requirements, as well as construction details. Simultaneously, we had to quickly choose suitable lighting fixtures. Accounting for sometimes lengthy delivery lead times, we had to secure the lighting promptly. We decided on Philips/Color Kinetics iColor Flex LMX, which provided the versatility to use in both the illuminated column and “X”. The large channel letters required the longest lead time.

STRICTLY ELECTRIC letters were flush to the curved wall with even return depths. We had to plan for this on a wall, which was not yet tiled, with curved letters. We surveyed the existing convex curved wall, modeled the curve and letters in AutoCAD 14 software, and cut out a 40-in.-long, ½-in.-thick SintraŽ PVC template that modeled the sign’s faces and returns. The template was ready to go when the tile wall was
complete. A test proved it was dead on. With two weeks left to the RPX grand opening, fabrication began.

wall’s radius. Using these two return types, fabricators cut individual pieces and fit them to match the faces’ necessary curves. We installed the straight lengths in the vertical letter sections, and the curved sections in the horizontal areas. Welding these strips into place provided most of the return needed to produce the curved, reverse-lit letters. The project team spent considerable time filling in the transition areas between the horizontal to vertical areas so that the return of the letter would appear seamless once painted. To fill in these areas, the fabricators attached aluminum filler pieces with BondoÂŽ body-filler putty and metal glaze. The inner portion of the “Xâ€? entails ž-in.-thick Acrylite SG acrylic, which was routed and pushed through to provide a second surface ½ in. above the first face. To evenly diffuse the light, we applied Drytac’s Protac Emerytex nonglare, scuff-resistant, textured-finish PVC topcoat on the first surface. For the second surface, we applied 3M’s 40%-light-transmission diffuser film. To light the “Xâ€? evenly, we built a custom aluminum pan out of 0.063 pre-finished, white aluminum with routed holes along the perimeter. Behind the holes, installers inserted 100, 1Âź-in.-diameter Phillips Color Kinetics iColor Flex LMX fixtures with clear lenses, and spaced them approximately 2 in. apart. Making the pan and pushing the bulbs through allowed us to hide all the wires, which enabled even illumination and eliminated shadows. We painted the letters with Matthews Sparkle Silver acrylic-polyurethane paint and a clearcoat finish. The letters were installed using 2 x 2 x Âź-in.-thick aluminum angle that’s through-bolted in the wall. We installed the letters over the clips with countersunk screws. Custom Finishers constructed the 7-ft.-tall column frame using 0.125-in.thick aluminum that’s welded together to form a pan with top and bottom sections. Inside the frame, we welded ½ x ½ x 1â „8-in.-thick retainer on the top, bottom and inside to hold the column. We constructed the column

using 1⁄8-in.-thick, clear Sabic Lexan® polycarbonate, which was coldformed to create clean, crisp corners. To match the “X,” we applied Drytac’s Protac Emerytex floor laminate on the first surface and 3M diffuser film on the second. To amplify illumination, we built a routed, white-metal pan similar to the one used for the X. It’s angled with four sides for even illumination on the column’s side and front. We populated this pan with 100, clear-lens iColor Flex LMX strands as well – for the column, we spaced them 2¾ in. apart. Installers mounted a pill-shaped, pan sign (constructed from 0.080-in. metal) vertically on the outside of the Lexan with routed and push-through ½-in.-thick acrylic copy that reads “RPX.” The RPX letters were decorated using Arlon teal and blue cast vinyl. We illuminated the copy with white Sloan LEDs. To operate the lighting system, we used the Philips/ Color Kinetics iPlayer 3 controller. Four remotely mounted, preprogrammed power supplies, which the iPlayer 3 coordinates, control the subtle, blue-to-teal color change. We supplemented the letter and column’s illumination with nine rows of blue Tivoflex LED border tubing, which installers secured to the face of the radius drywall soffit, and returned underneath along the ceiling. A bold statement In addition to the auditorium entrance, we fabricated and installed exterior, box-office and wayfinding signs throughout the theatre to help patrons navigate the RPX auditorium. To complement the entry signage, Custom Finishers built additional routed, push-through and face-lit channel letters, and custom badge signs with multiple, aluminum layers. The project, completed on time, matched the bold design intent perfectly. Ed Sangmeister, Cima’s senior project manager for the Regal Cinemas account, has supervised the development of five other RPX theatres, with K & S Concepts Group LLC (Colmar, PA) serving as fabricator for subsequent installations. n

It’s Time for Electronic Signage Albeit slighted, signage is extraordinary communication.
Ttice,wothedecades ago, in general pracworld’s digital-data infrastructure was limited to voice communications – telephones, primarily. Since then, we’ve seen and enjoyed the ever-escalating buildup of text, graphic and video platforms and applications designed for business as well as individual use. At that time, I worked for AT&T Bell Laboratories (Holmdel, NJ) in a division that pioneered fiberoptic, digital technologies. Our lab’s task was to increase fiberoptic bandwidths, so such systems could transport huge amounts of data. Truth is, we were looking for a killer application for internet and intranet use, and our first applications streamlined email-type
communications. Today, the mainline choice for personal communication – connectedness – is text. Next come image and video transfers, although the latter remains somewhat restricted because today’s available bandwidth, although immense when compared to the recent past, still limits video’s real-time quality and usage. Also, because time always equals money, video, in a file-size (not content) sense, requires more bandwidth and storage space. Thus, it’s more expensive to create, store, transmit and view than static files. Even so, many businesses use such modern, electronic-communication tools – Blogger, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter and YouTube –
for connecting with various customers and audiences. Interestingly, as the Internet and telecommunication scientists were bringing more capabilities to personal and B2B communications, many appear to have overlooked signage. Perhaps signs’ static nature (both in message and in location) causes them to have received scant attention from information technology (IT) scientists. When IT developers, myself included, think of enhancing communication, we tend to visualize transportation of electronic information as telephony and internet data via copper cables, fiberoptic and wireless systems. However, albeit slighted, signage is an extraordinary form of commu-
Even though Tokyo’s electronic signage is legendary – the city’s Ginza district, like America’s Times Square, encourages sign spectaculars – the Japanese metropolis sometimes surprises us with its unique, electronic-signage applications. For example, a Gizmodo.com story (“E-paper disaster signs help you escape Godzilla and earthquakes”) tells how the Japanese government has installed 30 x 125-in. e-paper signs in various Tokyo pedestrian areas, to provide evacuation instructions in disaster situations. The easily edited e-paper replaced LCD screens because LCDs go black when the electricity goes off. Lacking power, e-paper images remain static and readable. 32 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011
LED UPDATE nication. More interesting, now that digital technologies have reached outdoor multimedia, the communications scientist’s grandest customers are the signage, advertising and entertainment industries. Signs as advertising So how has signage benefitted from digital technologies? Through electronics, signage has become an active, dynamic, advertising medium. Also, because changeable sign content allows varying messages – think of graphic ads or traffic warnings. Further, constantly changing text and images attracts more attention than static images. A changeable (active- or passivematrix, i.e., animated) sign can become a profit center because numerous advertisers can buy time – exposure – in the same space. The signage industry is inherently a gigantic part of our lives because signs are primary venues for people
– especially mobile people – to quickly choose locations for goods and services. The dynamic nature of electronic-digital signage (EDS) allows users, advertisers and other implementers (such as regulatory authorities) to update information, share costs and follow a targeted audience. Unquestionably, EDS yields a fast, simple and cost-effective communications system. Shared digital functions Digital technology advancement has elevated connectedness for educational institutions, governments, businesses and virtually all other types of human networking. Many different types of digital technologies aggregately enable multimedia networks that provide voice, text, graphic and video streams in point-cast, broadcast and multicast fashions. These digital technologies employ numerous basic functions: •E lectronically converting vast
amounts of source data into digital, binary equivalents; • Digitally processing and controlling such data, so that various format and network identification markings can be superimposed; • Digitally transporting such data via fiber-optic, copper-cable or wireless technologies to proper destinations; • Receiving, decoding and displaying the data at destinations; • And, storing network data, so it's available for future use. The above digital technologies enable the worldwide Internet and Intranets, as well as operation systems and myriad applications for mobile (handheld) devices. Employing many similar digital technologies, EDS systems bring digital graphics and videos to both indoor and outdoor devices, throughout. Most obvious are the animated, LED-lamped billboards.

LED UPDATE The display systems for various EDS comprise technologies that include active- and passive-matrix, backlit, fluorescent or LED illuminated LCD screens; fluorescentlamped plasma screens; bitmapped LED-lamped, large-format screens; and organic LEDs (OLEDs). All incorporate digital-display technologies – meaning images represented by digital, binary data – which is formed on screens using discrete (R, G, B for example) color controls in a pixel-based array. All the systems, however, will automatically refresh, make adjustments and perform fault-tolerance adjustments. Electronic-message centers (EMCs) have limited use in terms of refresh rates, size, brightness, quantity and location. Additionally, both onpremise and off-premise EMCs are usually regulated by local, state, and federal ordinances – many of which are still under development.
36 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011
Active signage Electronic, digital-display technologies have revolutionized the sign industry by increasing its information-sharing and reaching abilities. They have also automated the labor tasks once involved in changing dated billboards and other, large-format signage. EDS has also generated excitement – certainly, its colossal sizes, eyecatching graphics and vibrant colors attract attention. Around the world, stadiums, retail venues, banks and major sporting events have applied thousands of large-scale EDS to energize and narrowcast or broadcast their ads, news or events. For example, London is preparing for the 2012 Summer Olympics with many new EDS units in place. Its plans include an LED update of the Piccadilly Circus Sanyo sign, one of the last large neon signs in that area.
Signs are no longer just stationary, in either space or time. The digital revolution has allowed business, personal and advertising communications to merge. It has, in essence, brought signs to people’s eyes – and fingertips – virtually anywhere. Various printing and projection technologies also allow text and images to be placed on multitude of surfaces – enhancing the sharing and reaching of signs even further. Such signage and advertising enablers are also promoting innovation and entrepreneurship among people of diverse demography. In these exciting times, when signage has evolved to a dynamic and colorful form – it’s no longer about LEDs or neon – it’s more about integrating numerous, digitally compatible technologies. The digital age is revolutionizing the sign industry. It’s almost screaming: “It’s time for electronic signage!” n

Roland’s VersaCAMM VS printers “Thar’s gold (well, silver…) in them there prints!” Key Information Roland DGA Corporation 15363 Barranca Pkwy. Irvine, CA 92618-2216 (949) 727-2100 www.rolanddga.com
S ome years back, we obtained a large, digital-print order that looked like a sure-fire money maker. The client wanted its bitmapped image printed in a single color on a brushed-aluminum background. “Easy,” we thought, but this was prior to the introduction of UV-cure printers, so, we learned that printing images on metal wasn’t easy. First, we tried a pseudo-metallic effect. We scanned an aluminum sheet and worked to integrate it into the image. Not. Then, we tested metallic-type media, but that didn’t create the needed effect either. Ultimately, we printed the images on a clear, adhesive vinyl and painstakingly applied them to aluminum sign blanks. Oh, did we mention that the finished piece was round? The finished job, which took much longer than we planned, looked great. Expectedly, we also vowed to never again accept a job that required a metallic look. Too bad we didn’t get that job today, and you know the reason: Roland’s ECO-SOL MAX and VersaCAMM VS printers that produce true metallic colors. One of these in our shop would have made the job a snap. Here, we’ll focus on Roland’s newest, the VersaCAMM VS family of metallic-inkjet printers. The VersaCAMM VS family Roland’s VS line comprises three printer/cutters that differ, primarily, by the available print width. The VS-420 handles media width up to 42.2 in.; the VS-540 prints across 54-in.-wide media, and the VS-640 prints on 64-in.-wide media. Except for the width, the VS printers look the same. Common is the user-friendly control panel and an Ethernet connection for system interface. The printers also share the same dimensions (27.8 in. deep x 43.5 in. high). The VS-420 is 79.4 in. wide; the VS-540 is 91.2 in. wide; and the VS-640 is 101.4 in. wide. 38 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011
Company Profile: Roland DGA Corporation, the U.S.-based marketing, distribution and sales arm of Roland DG Corporation of Hamamatsu, Japan, is a leader in the sign, graphic-arts, fineart, vehicle-graphics, UV-cure ink, photography, engraving and 3D modeling industries. Founded in 1981 and listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange, Roland DG provides wide-format inkjet printers and printer/cutters, vinyl cutters, 3-D scanners and milling devices, and engravers and other personalization devices. At a Glance: Roland’s VersaCAMM VS line comprises three printer/ cutters that include 1,440 x 720-dpi, CMYK, metallic and white ink options that only differ by the available print width and speeds. The VS-420 handles media width up to 42.2-in.-wide; the VS-540 images across 54-in.-wide media, and the VS-640 prints on 64-in.-wide media. All feature Roland’s Intelligent Pass Control technology that reduces image banding. The printers’ eight-channel, gold-plated, piezo-inkjet printhead’s new, variable-dot formation system creates noticeably crisper images than previous models. For added resourcefulness, Roland allows you to choose from several ink options – the CCMMYKLlclm configuration offers good speed without compromising color fidelity (the light cyan and light magenta smooth the image), but, even more color diversity happens through the CMYKlclmMtW system (because it includes the silver and white-ink options). If banners and sign graphics are your forté, choose the faster, dual-CMYK configuration. Roland’s VersaWorks (version 4) RIP allows you to apply metallic silver ink as a spot color, or you may select to combine it with other inks, to create more than 500 different metallic colors. Contact: Roland DGA sales (800) 542-2307 sales@rolanddga.com The printers’ weights range from a low of 234 lbs. for the VS-420 up to 287 lbs. for the VS-640. The printers share the same power requirements – 100-120 VAC, 8.2A at 50/60Hz or 200-220VAC, 4.2A at 50/60Hz. The maximum printing resolution is 1,440 x 720 dpi. The printers employ recently designed, eight-channel, piezo-inkjet printheads that feature a variable-dot system, which, Roland says, creates crisper images. It has also incorporated its Intelligent Pass Control technology that effectively reduces image banding. Further, the printheads are gold plated, which reduces the ambient static that contributes to clogging.

TECHNOLOGY REVIEW Media handling The VS printers’ media system features heavy-duty rollers and metal guide flanges to ensure precise tracking. The VS-420 handles 55 lb. rolls; the VS-540 handles 66 lb. rolls; and the VS-640 supports 88 lb. rolls. Ink options Normally, we discuss the ink set as a firm system. However, the VS family options allow you to choose the printer’s ink configuration, based upon the anticipated type of printwork. For example, if you produce near-photographic work, opt for the CCMMYLlclm configuration. It offers good speed without compromising color fidelity. If variety is your goal, consider the CMYKlclmMtW (Fig. 1) configuration, to add the metallic silver and white inks. If you print primarily banners and graphics, choose the dual-CMYK configuration – it’s fast, and it retains the Roland color gamut. Liquid metal The included VersaWorks (version 4) RIP allows you to treat the silver metallic ink as a spot color. Or, you can choose to mix it with other inks, to create more than 500 different metallic colors. The Versaworks software also includes spot-color libraries that can be combined with Adobe Illustrator (CS 3 and up) designs. Detailed instructions and videos are available on Roland’s website. The metallic colors have pre-assigned names and themes that are programmed into the VersaWorks RIP. You can create graphic objects in Illustrator or CorelDRAW and select a VersaWorks library color as a fill. If you want gold type, select the object (letter or graphic) and simply choose your gold shade from the library. Two types of metallic-ink applications enter into the print process. In one, metallic silver and other colors are integrated during the printing process, to create a blended, metallic-color effect. The second system allows you to apply metallic colors in layers. For example, you can print metallic ink and then layer CMYK-choice images on top. The effect is vastly different – layering provides a metallic “pop” and integrating provides a

uniform result. The white-ink option allows you to print on clear films or non-white media. Roland has also included a 20-texture, metallic-fill, patterns library that provides extra “pizzazz” to your images. Think of brick- or herringbone-type patterns. We saw numerous images printed on the VS-640 and, frankly, the pieces looked amazing. The metallic and white inks are only available in 220ml cartridges. The other cartridges can be either 220 or 440ml. The VS printers also feature an ink-circulation system that eliminates the metallic ink’s particlesettling issues. You can expect one- to three-year outdoor life from unlaminated, metallic ink, depending on the media. It also requires roughly 15 minutes to completely dry. Lamination is not a major issue because the VS printers have very good vinyl-cutting capabilities. Roland’s four-point alignment system – Quadralign™ – ensures that images removed for lamination register correctly when reloaded for cutting. Print speeds We wanted to finish with print speeds so that you could see that this is not a slow, specialty-print device. The metallic/white printers are the slowest, and the VS-640 with dual-CMYK ink sets is the fastest. In the highest-quality mode, the dual-ink, VS-640 configuration will produce 51.6 sq. ft./hr. In its Standard mode, you can expect 117 sq. ft./hr. In its less-critical “billboard” mode – for large banners, say – the print speed can reach an impressive 248 sq. ft./hr. The CMYK plus light colors (lc, lm) provides photographic-quality-configuration print speeds that range from 24.7 to 68.9 sq. ft./hr. for the VS-640. The other two models will be slightly slower. If you print color and metallic silver in layered modes, the high-quality images will run at 6.4 sq. ft./hr., and the fastest, blended-mode speed will be approximately 15 sq. ft./hr. Expect 19.3 sq. ft. per hr. when printing metallic silver (only) as a spot color. Not fast enough? Roland also offers its XC-540 MT printer that’s considerably faster – and more expensive. Conclusion The flexible-use VersaCAMM VS printer family offers exciting possibilities and options. It has excellent printing speeds for its price range. It also features reduced printhead maintenance and a heavy-duty media system. Most importantly, the metallic configuration puts these printers into a different realm – think of the unique products you can offer. Prices start at $18,995 for the 42-in. model and go up to $26, 495 for the 64-in.-wide printer. Oh, one more thing. Roland has also introduced its VersaCUT printed-image trimmer. Available in 44-, 68- and 100-in. widths, it features a magnetic system that makes print positioning a snap and will manage 3 ⁄8-in.-thick media. Starting at $699, it’s a great finishing touch for a digital-print shop. n

Product Showcase: SIGN BLANKS Palram Americas (Lehigh Valley, PA) is presenting PALCLEAR™, a flat, monolithic, transparent PVC sheet designed for interior-signage applications. The sheets have clarity and thermoforming properties similar to those of PETG products, the company reports, but offer higher chemical and fire resistance at a lower price. Optional characteristics range from high clarity and an anti-reflective surface to increased impact resistance. Plaskolite (Columbus, OH) is offering its Mustang® co-polyester sheet as an alternative to polycarbonate for thermoforming applications. The sheet doesn’t need to be pre-dried prior to thermoforming, the company reports. Vinyl can be applied to it prior to thermoforming because it forms at a lower temperature, the company adds. Available in flat sheets or as roll stock, the product forms more quickly than polycarbonate, yet offers comparable impact strength, the company states. ClearPath Signage Systems (Findlay, OH) is announcing its ColorHues™ line of cast acrylics, which is available in 15 translucent colors and opaque black and white. The lightweight material offers a matte finish on one side and a glossy finish on the other. The material is well suited for tactile signage, the company suggests.
EnCore® Products (Statesville, NC), is adding MightyPrint® Expressions to its foamboard line. The product has a rigid foam core and a textured surface that adds dimension and stability to items being directly printed. MightyPrint Glossy adds a reflective dimension with a high-gloss surface; MightyPrint Canvas allows users to print directly to a rigid, artists’canvas substrate, and MightPrint Premier Kraft provides a rustic look. (800) 873-4868; www.encoreproducts.com

Canon +PROGRAF Printers Canon U.S.A. Inc., (Lake Success, NY) is introducing its eight-color, 44-in.-wide, +PROGRAF iPF8300S and 24-in.-wide, +PROGRAF iPF6300S printers. Canon says the printers feature technology similar to its 12-color, iPF8300, iPF6350
and iPF6300 printers, including the LUCIA EX, pigment-based ink set. The company says the two models’ eight-color gamut expands previous S-series gamuts by approximately 20%. The ink set enhances shadow details, black density and overall scratch resistance.
The printers’ PF-05 printheads operate in conjunction with Canon’s high-density, full-lithography, inkjetnozzle engineering (FINE) technology. The ink systems include 2,560 nozzles for each color: cyan, magenta, yellow, black, matte black, +cyan, +magenta and gray. The printers also feature a built-in, color-calibration function that compensates for color variations caused by machine age and environmental effects.

Saw Trax Coro Claw X Saw Trax (Kennesaw, GA) is unveiling its Coro-Claw™ X corrugated-plastic cutter. The tool cuts material up to 10 mils thick. A cutting-blade bevel on either side of the guide prong enables the wider material cuts. The angled blade functions like a guillotine, which simplifies the slicing process. Saw Trax enhanced Coro-Claw by offsetting the cutting edges, which prevents the bottom and top sidewalls from being cut when a cut begins, which allows easier blade entry. The tool also offers a replaceable cutting head. (888) 729-8729; www. sawtrax.com

2011 INTERNATIONAL SIGN CONTEST
Signs of Rebirth The quality of this year’s entries hints at industry revitalization. By Steve Aust
FI’veorreceived the past of couple of years, a common response from many former competition stalwarts: “I’m sorry, but I don’t have anything worth submitting this year.” Perhaps the culprit was simply a to-do list too large to accommodate one more task, but the downturn has impacted almost every industry negatively (bankruptcy attorneys may have been among the few in high cotton), and so many projects have disappeared or been scaled back due to lack of funds. However, the quality of contest entries has remained high, even if quantity has diminished somewhat. I was consistently impressed by the quality of this year’s 302 submissions. It affirmed, even during challenging times, some customers still could be persuaded to invest in their corporate identity via compelling sign design. As usual, electric and commercial building signs received the largest portion of entries among the competition’s 11 categories. Somewhat surprisingly, sign-system entries abounded. The category generated 36 projects this year. Many were for healthcare entities and other institutional clients. Perhaps the money had been allocated before the economy’s implosion, or perhaps stimulus money for infrastructure improvements surfaced. ST conducted this year’s judging at the Saddlebrook Resort near Tampa in conjunction with the Signage and Graphics Summit conference. In addition to escaping a blustery Ohio winter for a few days, I enjoy enlisting local sign and design professionals.
The judges for the 2011 International Sign Contest were (left to right) Mike Chawk, business-development manager for Signstar (Tampa); Mike Bethune, who fabricates carved and sandblasted signage at his Thonotosassa, FL shop; Maggie Green, an exhibit designer for the Florida Aquarium; and Peter Lewis, who owns a Tampa-area Signs Now franchise.
This year’s judges include Mike Bethune, who carves and sandblasts HDU and wood signage at his own Thonotosassa, FL-based shop; Mike Chawk, who serves as businessdevelopment manager for Signstar, a Tampa-based, full-service sign fabricator with nationwide clients; Maggie Green, an exhibit designer for the Florida Aquarium; and Peter Lewis, who operates a Tampa-area Signs Now franchise. A few companies enjoyed particularly strong showings. Danthonia Designs (Inverell, NSW, Australia) swept the Commercial Freestanding Sign category, and Snyder Signs (Johnson City, TN) won First Place in the Electric Monument Sign and Electronic Message Center categories. For the first time, one end user – Mellow Mushroom, a funky, Atlantabased pizza chain, was the beneficiary – had two of its signs, which Snyder
Signs and Sign Systems Inc. (Hickory, NC) built and submitted separately, win awards in the same competition. The ultimate prize, Best of Show, went to Young Electric Sign Co.’s (YESCO) Denver branch, which fabricated a sign for Wild Ivories, a Denver dueling-piano bar. Kreg Lyles, a YESCO designer, said, “I think the most enjoyable thing was, after all the revisions, seeing the sign being constructed, and finally, lighting up. It was what I call the Frankenstein moment, when you see your creation come to life, or light up, for the first time.” That’s enough backstory; proceed to the pretty pictures and descriptions of the materials, equipment and know-how that helped produce the International Sign Contest winners. Enjoy 2011’s winners – and, don’t be shy about taking your shot at glory in next year’s competition! SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011 63

To promote the Lexus Hybrid HS 250h, Germain Lexus hired Chute Gerdeman to develop a showroom display to engage prospective buyers. Matt Jeffries, Chute Gerdeman’s senior designer for brand communications, said. “A key design challenge was illustrating the intricate interplay between gas and electrical fuel systems within the car’s engine in an easy-to-understand manner.” To achieve this, CG Retail One, Chute Gerdeman’s production team, designed a series of acrylic panels which highlight the gas components in orange, and electric components in green on a graphic, to depict a cross-section around the car that resembles a colorful X-ray. The promotional message expands from the vehicle display to cling-vinyl graphics at the entrance, brochure kiosks and a video-display screen.

For pieces that required extra effects, Sawatzky formed 3-D elements using Abracadabra’s Smooth & Sculpt epoxy molding compound. For illuminated components, Sawatzky installed Heico Lighting’s LED modules. To build some specialty components, such as the dinosaur desk, he used a MultiCam 3000 plasma cutter to machine mild steel, which was welded and sprayed with acid to create a rust patina.

Maloof enlisted Ferrari Color to create a 175 x 65-ft. tall building wrap – the largest in Ferrari’s history, according to the company. The wrap adorns the headquarters of the California State Teachers Retirement System (CalSTRS) and spans approximately a half mile. Ferrari Color produced the colossal wrap, which comprises 650 individual tiles, on its Durst Rho 160R 62-in., roll-to-roll, UV-cure, inkjet printer using Clear Focus Imaging’s SuperVue® 50% perforated window film. Fabricators cut the tiles using the shop’s Zund 3XL-3000 cutter and iCut CAD/CAM software. The CalSTRS window-washing crew installed the wrap.

Thus, this sign provides appeal on many levels. Whitehead designed the graphics using CorelDraw, and created files for the CNC router using Gerber’s ArtPath. The shop fashioned 3A Composites’ brushed-silver and ultramarine-blue Dibond® composite material, Evonik’s Acrylite GP acrylic and 0.040-in.-thick aluminum on its Gerber Sabre 408 CNC router. Gerber’s 230 Series translucent vinyl decorates the components. To illuminate this fun, Googie-style sign, Gardner formed Voltarc neon tubing, which is powered by Transco transformers, to illuminate the sign’s single-stroke letters. To create a halo effect, Sign Pro installed SloanLED blue modules. The LEDs reflect off the background to create a sparkle effect. The “Free Vacuums” text required 1-in.-thick, clear acrylic that’s pushed through Dibond with second-surface, orange vinyl. Universal Lighting fluorescent ballasts brighten the cabinet. SloanLED red modules illuminate the small, “$6” cabinet. Sign Pro fabricated the arrow with 6-in.-diameter, steel flatbar, and skinned it with aluminum. Whitehead said, “Because of the arrow, all electrical components had to be accessed through one door. We created the sign to show very little visible hardware. We used rigid couplers to connect the channel letters, and housed the GTO inside them.”

Johnson City, TN (423) 282-6221 www.snydersigns.com Designers Ted Tubbs Randy Holland Snyder Signs Client Mellow Mushroom Pizza Bakers Snyder achieved a unique level of detail and creativity with this message center for Mellow Mushroom’s Pigeon Forge, TN location (it was the runner-up in the judges’ voting for Best of Show). The Snyder team CNC routed or handcarved the mushrooms from 15-lb. Sign•Foam HDU, which it coated with a polyurea hardcoat for extra durability. They designed the complex, layered sign using Autodesk’s 3DS Max software, used a hydraulic pipebender to bend the metal parts, and incorporated a Techno CNC 3-D router to shape the sign’s numerous pieces. Exposed EGL neon illuminates the channel letters, and SloanLED modules inside the cabinet create a dramatic silhouette. A 6 x 8-ft. Watchfire messageboard spreads the love to passersby. 88 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011
SECOND PLACE Fabricator Bob Mayer Berry Neon Sign Systems Everett, WA (425) 776-8835 www.berryneonsigns.com Designer Kay Christensen Berry Neon Sign Systems Client Detroit Autoworks Given the drubbing the U.S. auto industry has taken for several decades – due to both fierce competition and self-inflicted wounds – a message center that celebrates the American car seems positively refreshing. Berry Neon formed the flags by bumpforming the aluminum panels with a power-brake and MIG-welded frames. Red, white and blue EGL exposed neon illuminates Old Glory with Sentry 9- and 15V transformers. Aluminum channel letters were formed with an Arete ReturnShop letter notcher and LetterLok clinching machine, and the faces – made from Evonik Cyro Acrylite acrylic and decorated with 3M’s Scotchcal translucent vinyl – were shaped on the shop’s Gerber Sabre 408 CNC router. The Detroit letters were lifted off the surface with 2-in.-deep, peg standoffs and decorated with white vinyl that’s halo-lit by Sloan VSeries white LEDs. “Autoworks” entails white, push-through acrylic with Gerber translucent, red, first-surface vinyl and red V-Series LEDs. High-output, fluorescent lamps illuminate the cabinet. Watchfire’s XVS 19mm, full-color, LED, 6 x 12-ft. display provides the sign’s changeable content. Double-tube, white neon provides the “zipper” effect that flanks the display, as well as accents to the sign’s crown. Installers Ted Merritt and Dirk Fitzwater executed installation on a Wilkie 65-ft. XRB boom truck and 36-ft. Versalift crane.

John Cifarelli, YESCO Denver’s router specialist, fabricated all structural and decorative elements. The body comprises 0.125-in.-thick aluminum with a satinfinish, gold Wrisco laminate. The piano face entails 0.125-in.-thick aluminum painted with DuPont’s glossy white with first-surface, digital graphics printed on 3M cast vinyl with a Mimaki JV-3 solvent-ink printer. The signface’s black keys were flat-cutouts made from ½-in.-thick PVC that’s painted with glossy, black DuPont paint. YESCO’s paint crew coated the returns with DuPont gold metallic paint. The crown is part of the same flat-cut-out curved panel that houses the reverse, pan-channel letters. The panel is painted three colors, and features gold vinyl overlays decorated with 3M’s Scotchcal™ Electrocut™ #7725-131 satin-gold film. The scroll work was built as a flatcut-out panel on a 90-in. radius with a 1-in.-diameter, square-tube, curved frame for support. Victor Casarrubias handled the sign’s welding and construction, and Mike Benzie cut and applied the vinyl elements. To illuminate the piano’s perimeter, YESCO installed Litetronics MB-301 cold-cathode, frosted-white, 3W bulbs, which provide a 2,700K light temperature. Installation Manager Bill Ferguson and his team installed the sign with an Elliott G8 bucket lift that’s attached to an International MaxxForce 10 truck. Fairpoint Graphics produced the digital graphics on its Epson Stylus Pro GS6000 with 3M’s Scotchcal™ Electrocut™ 7725-10 cast vinyl. 92 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011

Times Square Teaser Here’s a photo gallery of some new Big Apple signage, but it’s only the tip of the iceberg. By Louis M. Brill
R ecession? Maybe, but new signage was popping up everywhere in Times Square in 2010. Times Square constantly presents cutting-edge technologies and applications, so keeping tabs on its activity often provides a sneak peek at the future elsewhere. Next month, ST will present a full smorgasbord of midtown Manhattan sign activity, but for now, here’s an appetizer that ranges from a restaurant-sign makeover to a new sign project on a 40-story glass curtain. n
For the Barclay Bank skyscraper, Goings Signs (Plainview, NY) designed, fabricated and installed four sets of closed-face bank logos. In addition, 10-ft.-tall channel letters of the bank’s name were fabricated from aluminum and decorated with 3M Panaflex™ flexible-face media clad with 3M dual-color, blue/white vinyl. The letters were mounted to custom fin plates and mullion and installed 40 stories up on each side of the skyscrpaer’s glass-curtain wall. 96 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011
This Times Square service sells same-day, half-price tickets to local Broadway theater shows. A pair of double-faced, standalone pylons (one on Seventh Ave., one on Broadway) with Sunrise Systems (Pembroke, MA) LED-lamped message boards specifies all of the day’s available tickets. Each pylon incorporates a steel frame faced with shatter-proof laminated glass.
A full-color, 34 x 37-ft. Daktronics (Brookings, SD) LED display, used by the News Corp. / SONY partnership, resides at the base of One Times Square. The display utilizes Daktronics’ latestgeneration DVX 10mm SMD technology. Its interactive, engage-
ment features, created by ESI Design (NYC), allow Times Square pedestrians to participate in multiple-choice interactive polls, or transmit text messages and photos to the display, all from their cell phones.
Red Lobster’s new sign package was designed, fabricated and installed by Spectrum Signs (Farmingdale, NY). To update the Times Square location, the main sign component was redesigned as a raceway-mounted, closed-face set of 48-in.-high channel letters, with the restaurant’s name against a black-painted aluminum background. Smaller channel letters (14 in. tall) with chasing animation detail some menu items directly below the main sign. Contrasting, red, LED-lamped horizontal tubes, placed above
and below the main channel letters, add some punch. Placed between the two channel-letter sign sets, right above the store entrance, is a lobster-shaped, 5 x 10-ft. channel cabinet with a translucent, detailed, vinyl-graphic lobster internally lit with white LEDs. Below the lobster icon rests a curved, LED-lamped, white-on-black electronic message center. Additional, smaller, backlit, vinyl-faced sign cabinets are placed in the windows, with vinyl graphics inserted toward the bottom of each window. SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011 97
The End Users Speak For all types of businesses, EMCs provide direct benefits.
By Wade Swormstedt
I112), n last month’s editorial (see page I told you about the “Finding Common Ground” (FCG) presentation YESCO’s Mike Freeborg assembled for planners. This month, I want to show you some of his specific examples, similarly to how I addressed Kozell Boren’s “signblight” documentation in an editorial (see ST, January 2011, page 112) and followed it up with the
proof (see ST, February 2011, page 58). Most contributors know my mantra: “Show me; don’t just tell me.” Plus, we called two of the end users referenced. Tucked within the 65-slide FCG PowerPoint presentation are numerous cause-and-effect testimonials about signs’ benefits. Tangible, documented evidence that better signs increase sales. Please share
How EMCs benefit the community One FCD slide outlines this critical caveat: • They • They • They • They • They • They • They

this information with your customers and city officials. Because fast-food establishments are serendipitously prone to “impulse” buys, their signage can make or break their success. For those restaurants located near highway exits, research shows 60% of their customers find them via their sign, according to “The Signage Sourcebook.” In the FCD, a Denver-area owner of 24 fast-food franchises says, ““At one location in Denver, my electronic sign has been in operation for about five years, and, from the first day it was installed, this restaurant began having dramatic sales gains. I would attribute the installation of this sign would be almost $200,000 (16%) annually.” He spoke about “Lakewood, where they allow a message change every five seconds. The restaurant, which has been there for over 20 years, immediately after installation (March 2008), achieved sales gains of 15% or more, which I attribute directly to the new [electronic] sign.” He added: “Since then, sales at every one of my stores have been flat . . . except at this store.” Ten miles away, in Littleton, optometrist Dr. Mark Strum, with a practice cleverly named Specs Appeal (subsequently, a franchise of the same name has surfaced, but he’s independent), represents a polar-opposite business model. He has just one location; he probably never enjoys “impulse” customers, and only people with a specific need would visit him. Yet Strum similarly extols an EMC’s virtues.

Asked to compare the EMC’s benefits to that of other marketing efforts, Strum wrote, “I get much more bang for the buck with the sign, and the ability to change the message/offer. Thousands of cars from three directions see the EMC daily, especially when stopped at a traffic light. I get new patients who tell me they noticed the sign, or they wouldn’t have known I was there.” Although a 2 x 10-ft. set of channel letters identifies his practice in the enviable position of “a corner space in the (Broadridge) shopping center, closest to the main road, with visibility from both crossing streets,” he still touts the EMC. “On the EMC, I can use graphics . . . I use eyes instead of zeroes. It has definitely been a boon to my business.” Strum has retained the same location for more than 13 years, but the EMC was only added a couple years ago: “I have used it since it became available.” And the process is simplistic enough that he provides his own content. But are EMCs only viable for forprofit entities that sell a product? Au contraire. YESCO received the following testimonial from Gene Baierschmidt, executive director of the Humane Society of Utah: “The
Planners’ aversion to EMCs is the 800-lb. gorilla, but the FCD presentation helps counter subjective objection with reason.
Humane Society of Utah installed an electronic sign [in 2004] along a stretch of I-15, a stretch with frequent traffic jams. Since the electronic sign was installed, the Humane Society has seen monthly adoption increases as high as 25% more than a year ago. We’ve had our best-ever year for adoption . . . the first time the
This FCD slide proves that even non-profits greatly benefit from EMCs. 100 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011
number has exceeded 6,000 pets in a single year.” I called Gene’s office and spoke with Carl Arky, the director of communications. He said they’ve been in their current facility for 19 years, which means the 25% increase, in one year, occurred during the facility’s 13th year. “Signs are very, very important to our marketing efforts. We’ve added animation,” Carl said, and he noted that annual adoptions are now closer to 8,000. The end users benefit from EMCs, unquestionably. But what about the communities? How do they benefit? Their leaders often decry them. But FCD examines this. One slide considers the tax benefits to the community of the new Denver EMC. Using the reasonable hypothetical of $1 million in sales prior to an EMC installation, a 16% increase would mean an additional $160,000 in revenue. Assuming a 4% tax rate, that would mean an additional $6,400 in tax revenue from one location per year. EMCs truly represent a win-win for all concerned. ■
2011 ISA Sign Expo April 28-30, Las Vegas
By Wade Swormstedt
Tannual he Intl. Sign Assn.’s (ISA) 67th International Sign Expo will be held April 28-30 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. ISA reports that exhibit space (12% more than last year) sold out three months ahead of time, and, as of February 1, advance attendee registrations are 47% higher than at this same time last year. Highlights include the opening keynote address about leadership from retired General Stanley McChrystal, the Green Product and New Product Showcases, a return of the three-day American Wrap Star competition, and 75 educational courses. In addition, a pre-show education workshop will be held April 27, the day before the tradeshow opens. The New Product Showcase and Green Product Showcase will introduce exhibitor entries in two-minute pitches, with attendees voting on the best product in each category. Each category will have 25 entries. New for 2011 is the iPhonefriendly conference brochure, and eliminating a traditional help desk in favor of help available via text message. “This allows attendees to text a question from anywhere -from the airport, their hotel room, or anywhere in the exhibit hall -instead of finding a help desk,” said Brandon Hensley, ISA’s Vice President of Marketing and Sales. Another feature to enhance your tradeshow experience is the Map Your Show system (http://www. mapyourshow.com/shows/index. cfm?Show_ID=SIGN11), which you can access on the ISA website.

EDITORIALLY SPEAKING
“I haven’t retired, but I look forward to not getting any orders.”
By Wade Swormstedt
Contemporary antiquity Bob Johnson is still creating in 3-D, but he’s not alone.
IHereceived a call from Allen Graham in Minneapolis. told me about his neighbor, Bob Johnson, who had fashioned 3-D cow heads for a St. Paul-based Naegele billboard that advertised Sanitary Farm Dairies’ “Golden Guernsey, World’s Finest Milk.” Allen wanted permission to reprint the article for a newsletter. Turns out it graced the cover of the January 1954 ST. As Allen continued, he told me that Bob, now 88, is still active. To paraphrase that cover story, Bob first took actual measurements of the cow and bull. From clay, he fashioned two heads to serve as models. Next, for the actual billboard heads, Bob covered a wooden framework with wire mesh, which was then “covered with fiberglass impregnated with polyastic rosin, a thermosetting plastic.” Detailed sculpting occurred with a ton of wet plaster. The two heads weighed a combined 700 lbs. I asked Bob if he had been taught how to do this, or if it was more self discovery. “I stumbled around and learned some hard lessons. I tried one surfacing agent, and the paint fell right off,” he said. The self deprecation continued, although he did finally conclude, “I guess I was kind of a pioneer.” He thought some more, and added, “I had an enthusiasm for mechanical work, which means you need to do 90% of it yourself before someone else can help you.” He definitely wasn’t a sign man, and he wasn’t exactly a sculptor. But since Bob left the Navy in 1946, he’s worked with fiberglass. And he mostly did that because he’d found a modicum of commercial success while serving in the South Pacific. As usual, he needs to qualify that by saying, “They didn’t have any gift shops, and I did some carvings. People bought them so I started to think I was pretty good.” We’d say the winners in this issue’s International Sign Contest are pretty good, too, especially the Best of Show, produced by YESCO (see page 92). It’s quite high-tech, and one may assume all of the other winners are computer-cut vinyl, LEDs, digital imaging and EMCs. And the dimensional entries probably rely on CNC routers. Perhaps the true artisans, like Bob, are long gone in this Computer Age. Unless you turn to pages 76-77. There, you’ll see that Australia’s Danthonia Designs swept all three awards in the Commercial Freestanding Signs category. And the description of each entry’s fabrication includes the verb “handcarved.” But purists may lament that all of these signs were 136 SIGNS OF THE TIMES / APRIL 2011
carved from a synthetic material, not “real” wood. So go to page 70 to see the First Place winner in the Commercial Monument Signs category. Custom Craftsmen personnel hardcarved much of the sign from HDU, but “Dave Lavoie carved the black bear from a single, 900-lb. sycamore log.” Elsewhere in the contest, in the Banners/Murals category (see pages 74-75), hand-rendered murals for a middle school claimed second place. Another winner in that category, Tony Segale brushed watercolor paintings that were projected on a wall for the city of Lodi, CA. And how much different, really, is Bob Johnson’s wet plaster than Abracadabra’s Smooth & Sculpt epoxy molding compound, which helped Imagination Corp.’s Dan Sawatzky win first place in this year’s Sign Systems category (see page 66)? Dan might echo some of Bob Johnson’s wisdom: “If you’ve got a 5-ft. cow’s head, and you want to make it twice as long, you’re actually dealing with eight times as much volume.” Bob may have created eight times as many 3-D figures as anyone. On his “working honeymoon” in 1949, he created eight papier-mache reindeer that sat on a curved beam for a float in the Orange Bowl parade. Down in Tennessee, he was asked to recreate the world’s largest set of deer antlers. Before Disney World opened in 1971, Bob fabricated three 60-ft.-tall Douglas fir trees, although he believes they ended up going somewhere else. Twin Cities residents probably know the Colonial Car Wash octopus mascot. Bob made nine overall – three locally and six more for Wisconsin locations. For the roofs of 10 Gold Eagle Wash laundromats, Bob produced flying eagles with 6-ft. wing spans (which appear in the November 1963 ST.) . As for his current status, Bob says, “I haven’t retired, but I look forward to not getting any orders.” Oh, and those cows from the 1954 cover? Allen Graham discovered they now grace the Grandma’s Saloon & Grill in Duluth, MN (which ST wrote about in its December 1989 issue). Now if we can just get Bob to enter our contest next year . n
