Coastal Enterprises / Merry Dragon Pub sign

Tradeshow booth space is always at a premium. Imagination Corp.’s goal with this portable sign was to create an attention-grabbing, freestanding sign that occupies only 2 sq. ft. To accomplish this, they used Coastal Enterprises 30-lb. Precision Board for the post and sign faces, plasma-cut steel for the bracket and sculpting epoxy for the dragon. Along the way, Imagination Corp. employed EnRoute software, their MultiCam 3000 router and CNC plasma cutter, plus various hand tools.
