61 Logan Ave, Toronto ON
Earth Inc undeniable has a creative edge to them, this shows in their choice for a unique and different approach to their brick and mortar front sign. They chose to get the sign hand painted with a straightforward design. The top of the building was painted a dark color and the bottom portion was painted a off white. The bottom portion was around 8 feet high. In the bottom portion is where the earth logo was painted in the darker color. The address was painted in the lighter color in the darker area.
The sign was done using a vinyl stencil application. The placement of the stencil is essential for a good job. The main goal is to have it level. This is done by laying down a tape line. The tape line does not have to be perfectly straight , this tape line is to draw a level line in pencil so to not mark the wall that we are putting the sign on. Once we have the leveled line we can start to place the sign. Before we stick up the vinyl we do a dry run by placing the sign where it’s supposed to go this allows us to fine tune exactly where we want the sign to be.Once we have decided were specifically the sign will be placed. We then use the vinyls straight edge to coincide with the level line we drew. When the vinyl is being cut we always have a level line cut as well.
You can see the sign when you’re travelling in a car down logan ave south, its a one way street, When walking you can see it from both sides of the street. The stencil was created in our studio using our vinyl cutter, that took about 5 hours to create.
This job on site was completed in a day and we used ladders to access the minimal heights that were required. To paint the address number above the door we used our telescoping ladder in the extension configuration. We used Behr exterior paint. The color was matched to the pre existing color that was already painted. To paint in the color we used brush and roller.
