2024 Sign Contest: Ad Astra
Visual Graphic Systems’ three-brand restaurant takeover wins “Best of Show.”
THE 2024 SIGNS OF THE TIMES Sign Contest has arrived like a comet, and with it a world of imaginative signage and wrap projects showcasing the best that the industry has to offer.
With nearly 190 entries from 66 individual sign companies, the selection pool covers multiple states and regions of the US, Canada and Europe, encompassing single signs for individual businesses to complex packages involving hundreds of components.
Our panel of judges, whose time and expertise we greatly appreciate, includes a couple of previous winners of the contest who did not enter this year: Gary Johnson (The Great American Sign Co.; Basking Ridge, NJ), Dan Schultz (Federal Heath; Racine, WI), Mars Bravo (Signs From Mars; Culver City, CA), Mallory Lynn (Signarama Brighton; Brighton, CO) and Ted Neelands (DBM Signage & Branding; Chattanooga, TN). Our great thanks to the judges!
Visual Graphic Systems Inc. (Carlstadt, NJ) emerged as the clear winner of “Best of Show” for their “Canes x Dallas Cowboys x Post Malone” project, a comprehensive, immersive and impressive three-brand restaurant package for Raising Cane’s, featuring memorabilia from the NFL team and the star musician.
Congratulations to Visual Graphic Systems Inc. and to all our other winners. We also want to express our deep appreciation to everyone who participated. Thank you!
