Signs, Signs & More Signs!

Indoor Suites, Storefronts, and Hanging Signs – Creative, Impactful, Fantastic!

We’ve been doing some very creative and interesting work around town – designing, creating and installing signs for our clients in and around Grand Rapids, Michigan. Printing on vinyl and window film, cutting vinyl and window film – custom produced to suit each particular need. Below is cut vinyl graphics for the storefront of The Feet Suite in Grand Rapids:

The Feet Suite on Plainfield Ave. NE., Grand Rapids

Interior offices that need identification have many options. Doors, sidelights and glass walls can be filmed with privacy film that is printed with logos and suite identification – or applied cut graphics. Below is examples of the custom work we did for the Gerald R. Ford Airport:

Wave Graphic Printed on Solyx Clear Frost in the Administration Area of the Gerald R. Ford Airport

The Gerald R. Ford Airport Sign and Wave Logo Printed on 50/50 One-Way Vinyl

The Airport’s Sign and Logo is Printed and Cut out of 3M Transparent Window Film that Produces a Semi-Translucent Look on the Door of the Administrative Offices

The interior suite windows and door of King Media in Ada includes a 48″ band of frost film with “King Media” and their “K” logo cut out of the same frost film. The tone on tone layering of frost film creates a subtle elegant look to their entrance:

King Media Interior Building Suite , Ada

Blues Gym in Grand Rapids had a hand painted sign that was very old and needed a face lift. Our Graphic Designer recreated the custom images, keeping the integrity of their theme, and printed it out on vinyl to make a brand new sign for the gym:

Lastly, Spectrum Health Outpatient Rehabilitation Physical Therapy had us print and cut their custom graphics – as well as cut vinyl signage for their storefront in Grand Rapids. The result – picture perfect:

Company Product Murals Create Privacy and Livens Up Space

Custom Designed & Printed Vinyl Window Film in the Corporate Atmosphere Promotes Connection with Product and Delivers Visual Interest

XS Energy Drink Mural at Amway Global Headquarters, Ada MI

Designed in cooperation with Amway Global, we printed and installed this Amway product mural on the expansive glass-walled hallway space at their headquarters in Ada, Michigan.

This mural is installed on the hallway side of conference rooms which also have a 48″ mural band installed inside for privacy. The new mural provides a solution to hide the plain gray backing of the mural inside the room, and adds visual interest to the common office space area.

Bands of window film whether it be decorative frost, or in this case printed vinyl, are very popular in corporate buildings in areas where privacy is limited by glass wall structures. A band of window film allows light to still come through a majority of the glass (top and bottom) – while providing both privacy and an element of interior design or decorative flair.

In creating any printed wall mural – the resolution of the image is the key to a sharp, clear and successful outcome. Corporate marketing departments can often supply suitable images to enlarge, as well as online Photographers of Fine Art, who can provide images for a reasonable price.

We strive to take our clients ideas and imagination to the next level by designing, creating & installing their vision! Check out some of our printed window film and decorative film installations in our Image Galleries. You can also view a time lapse video of this Amway mural installation in our 5 Star in Action selection in our Image Galleries.

Custom Printed Privacy Window Film – Streamlining Two Separate Needs

A professional and versatile way to identify office space

GVSU recently identified some windows in the Design Thinking Program on campus that needed a more professional way to provide privacy for their room – and also identify the space. Recognizing the work we have produced in the past (with printed frost), for other departments on campus – they contacted us to see what we could do for this space.

Before – Blinds and a make-shift logo on the windows of the Design Thinking Academy – GVSU, Allendale Campus

Mini – blinds typically don’t look, from a design perspective, very professional or attractive. While they may serve their purpose for privacy, they often don’t look very streamlined and symmetrical, especially from the outside looking in. A great solution for privacy, in this case, was in fact a frosted window film. Because there was also a need for room identification, we chose a printable vinyl privacy film that is somewhat translucent for ample ambient light transmission. Ice Look Etch Glass Frosted Film is ideal for printing and has a silver etched glass effect. Metallic pigments give this decorative film the special finishing and high quality optic when being applied on glass. We printed the Design Academy Logo on this film and installed it on the three windows of the GVSU AuSable rooms 1112 and 1114. The result – fantastic!

After pictures of Lumina Ice Look Etch Glass Printed Window Film at the GVSU Design Thinking Program Space

Professional results – streamlining the need for privacy and space identification – all with the addition of custom printed window film.
