FIRST PLACE
Schlosser Signs built this sign for Dando Development with two, precast-concrete slabs with a laminated-wood beam as a header. All text comprises reverse-lit, pan-face, 4-in.-deep channel letters illuminated with SloanLEDs. Schlosser Signs, directed by project manager T.J. Schlosser, completed a turnkey operation with assistance from landscaping subcontractors who added such amenities as the water feature built into the masonry.
SECOND PLACE
Gelberg fabricated this sign for Washington’s Children’s National Medical Center. Using an HP/Scitex flatbed printer, fabricators applied 3M vinyl directly to Acrylite® acrylic components, which they installed within an aluminum framework. US LED’s white modules provide backlighting, and SloanLED’s white diodes accent the sign.
THIRD PLACE
Royal built the sign to mimic this office building’s louvered wall which provides differing daytime and evening facades. Bolek created the design and a day/night contrast rendering using Adobe Illustrator software. The face comprises perforated metal with a digital print applied to 3/16-in. Plexiglas® impact-modified acrylic. The changeable-color face and cactus imagery reinforce art located across the campus.
