Eco Bean Sign

Eco Bean Coffee Dimensional Sign

Eco Bean requested a sign for their offices that would be wall mounted. Since they were to be mounting it themselves, instead of requiring every component to be mounted in a floating fashion, I decided to mount all the components to a semi-transparent (2447) 3/16″ acrylic sheet. I routed all the shapes individually from 12mm…




First Day of School Signs

Every year, kids across America pose for a first day of school picture. Typically, they’re holding a printout that mom and dad found on Pinterest – “First  Day of 1st Grade”.  That’s pretty boring! I whipped up a design in Illustrator, cut some vinyl and routed a piece of 1/4″ MDF on the CNC router….

Tenma Sign on Wall

Tenma Display Sign

Earlier this week, I was looking around for more ideas to fill out our video set at MCM, and looking for an excuse to mill some more stuff on the CNC router. The Tenma (soldering and test equipment) logo has a neat shape, with some cool cutouts inside the letters. There was some scrap 1/2″…




MCM Sign Final

MCM Electronics Dimensional Letter and Back Lit Sign

A bit ago, we started shooting videos at MCM for our “New Product Saturdays” campaign. At the outset, though, our set was a bit…bland. Essentially, we were shooting at a table I built with a cinder block wall backdrop. To add some interest, I thought it would be cool to add some branding in the…




Aarons MCM Trade Show Banners

Aaron’s MCM Tradeshow Signs

MCM’s Tier 1 team attends and Aaron’s vendor-only trade show each year. For 2016, they were looking to update their presence. I conceptualized, photographed, copywrote and designed two banners to sit at the front of their trade show booth. Positive feedback from the show illustrated that the banners served their purpose well, as MCM was…




Finished Moist Family Sign

The Moist Family Sign

Since moving into our new home a few years ago, we’ve struggled to “make it our own”. We’ve painted, recarpeted, finished, and it’s coming along. I thought it would be a great idea to come up with some sort of sign that could hang by the road that could really add something unique to the…




Ohio Shaped Oak Wall Sign with Script on Shelf

Ohio Script Signs

I’m having so much fun with the CNC router! I knocked out a few Ohio-shaped signs as gifts over the holidays, which turned out pretty well. If you want one, there are a couple on the family’s Etsy shop. They’re made from red oak hardwood, with a sawtooth hanger and rubber bumpers on the back…




Tenma Trade Show Banners

Tenma Tradeshow Signs

MCM’s Tier 1 team needed a couple of signs to help promote off Tenma’s two strengths; their soldering and test equipment. I shot, wrote copy and designed these, then had them printed at eSigns.com.
