National Signs (Houston) partnered with Sullaway Engineering (San Diego) to create this soaring, spiral-shaped sign for the Smart Financial Centre in Sugar Land, TX. Engineering this structure – which includes two 18 x 31-ft. message centers and a 15 x 18-ft. sloped, brick-clad, climate-controlled control room – posed a particular challenge. The 90-ft. pylon sign was unveiled for the indoor concert and performance venue’s January 2017 grand opening.
