Sign Industry Stories, Channel Letters and More in November’s Inbox

Personal Stories

• As my 25th year in the sign business, I find myself trying to “give back” to young designers more than ever. I think the next generation will have an outsized impact on our industry and I want to do my part to prepare them for the future. — Keith Davis, KRD Design, Chester Springs, PA
• While my working computer was down I was able to do a job via my laptop, which had some of my programs. I completed the job signs, political, in record time by being able to reach out to a company that does my direct printing. All I had to do was design, get approval, send file, pick-up, deliver. It made the whole process of “limping” in the sign biz less stressful. — Cindy Gillihan, Gilly’s Super Signs, Placerville, CA

Requesting Insights

• I am interested in seeing if you could do an extensive article on wholesale sign fabrication companies in the US and abroad. We do not fabricate and we sub our permitting and installs. — Ted Neelands, DBM Signage & Branding, Chattanooga, TN
• Channel letters, how do you build them? We install letters from manufacturers all over the country. They are rarely ever the same. — Joe Gibson, Ramsay Signs, Portland , OR
