The Western Sign Show 2006

Went to the convention at our local San Diego Convention Center this last saturday. I was going to go by myself but I had some co-pilots. I like this one better than the one I went to last year in Long Beach. Mainly because the focus here for some reason was Electric Signs. LEDs LEDs LEDs, wow so many LED booths, with a lot more Neon as well. I keep saying it for years now but I really have to get myself or fab a neon display suitcase for sales meeting. I'm in the process of designing a portable channel letter case with interchangeable faces and neon. But anyways back to my story, it was pretty cool and small with lots of familiar faces all over the place. Got to get some time to shoot the shit with the local vendors too which they always bust me up. Though I didn't come back with as much samples as I did from the LB convention I got to see match faces to voices and get catalogs that I really needed. Kirstie just yawned lol...as you can tell from the pic, but my little one made out and loved it with some cool StarWars large format prints, keychains, buttons, candy ETC :P

I didn't hear about the show until Tuesday and I was already booked for Friday and Saturday. Where there many large format printers there? We are thinking of adding one at work.

I noticed Sign Solutions does all your park signs. But yeah there were a bunch of 12' and wider printers.

Get one and I'll be your new bestfriend :whistling:

      Mounting Signs On EIFS

      By Rocco · Posted

      It depends on what's under the EIFS.   If it's plywood under the foam, then toggles are fine for a lightweight sign.  If masonry, we've come to like the titen HD (simpson strong tie brand) anchors or long wedge anchors.   The Titen HD screws are more user friendly than tapcons IMO.   They come in a variety of sizes, sometimes even at the big home centers.   Just check to see if it's densglass (fiberglass wall panels) under the foam.  Engineeners have told us that densglass isn't "structural" and that things need to be thru-bolted with uni-strut (or equal) sleepers across studs inside the wall.  A few years back, we were called out for an emergency call where someone had installed some large raceway channel letter signs to an EIFS wall that had densglass behind.  They used lag screws.  These held for a while but a heavy snow caused them to fail.   And toggles should work with Densglass but again not for any heavy loads.    In any case don't compress the foam too much.  A sleeve (mentioned above) would be needed for whatever the depth of the foam might be, though probably not needed for something light like an ACM panel.   if it's a really small sign, then appropriate exterior screws are usually OK going into plywood.

      Are there any recommendations for the best types of anchors to use for lightweight signs on EIFS?  <a href=" https://www.phoenixstuccocontractor.com/"> Phoenix Stucco Contractors</a>

      Pepsi logo vinyl colors

      By Rocco · Posted

      Hi   Can anyone tell me the right color red and blue translucent vinyl for the "new" Pepsi logo?  We have a local ice cream spot that recently changed from Coke to Pepsi and we have to replace the graphics on a couple of lit cabinets.   The customer sent me the logo in various formats but it didn't specify the correct colors.   I've searched but keep getting CYMK, etc. for the older logo - 2022 or so.   Thanks!
