Star Signs LLC

 

For our second Field trip my materials and processes class, we visted Star Signs LLC. This is yet another Lawrence native manufacturer. Before this class I was completely unaware of its large client base and impact of lawrence. Star signs does comerial and informational signage for a wide variety of consumers. These include, the Kansas City Chiefs, The Royals, Legends shopping center, Sporting KC, and the Nelson-Atkins Meusem.

Designers begin by assesing the problem while formating designs that account for distance of viewing, apperance when implemented into the space, and overal effectivness for the intented goal of the sign. After detailed drawings are put together and sent to the fabricating engineers. The majority of their signs are constructed from aluminum and acrylic plastics. The entire procress from begining to end is done in house complete with fabrication, assembly, paint, and finally printed vinyl or acrylic decals and logos.

What is unique about this business is that no two projects are the exact same. Each client wants a product to fit their exact needs and rarely will the outcomes the same. This keeps the designers from sticking to a specific style while helping them push the idea of what does a sign need to look like to be effective.
