New delicious sushi restaurant in town! 🍣

With an equally delicious entry sign made of 1/4”thick anodized aluminum with a vertical brushed finish to enhance the thin, elegant strokes.

When my phone shows me “memories” (photos of my sign projects), I feel a rush of accomplishment and love… then the harsh reality slaps me right in the face!

Reality: “Mars, did you forget the struggles? The late, sleepless nights? deadlines? The expectations? The headaches, revisions, budgets, clients, unseen effort, uncertainty, meltdowns, panic attacks?!”

For me, nostalgia is a very tricky emotion. Every project is a win, but those small victories were born from a version of me that no longer exists.

The two memories don’t always match.
One is clean and perfect; the other is gritty and human.
It’s my bittersweet polarity. Warmth and weariness braided tightly together. 🖤

So many great things happening here!
For starters, the play on different material depths is captivating & entertaining to the eye (allowing people to look at your sign for longer periods of time)
Secondly, the back LED lighting softening the strong composition of the sign to convey security or peace. Last but not least, the mirror aluminum finish makes this sign interactive with ever changing reflections of its environment.
I cannot stop staring at it. Or at myself? 🤭 👀 👁️ 👁️

It’s important to me to keep my curiosity alive. I do it by bridging gaps between shop roles, learning new skills, and staying open to experimentation.
One of my favorite tools as a sign designer is an understanding of material science. It gives me flexibility! 😮‍💨

Even when a client’s budget is limited, it doesn’t fully restrict my creativity. By choosing economical materials, applying faux finishes, or rethinking how elements are combined, I can still design signs that are eye-catching, memorable and affordable.

I think of signs like cars in the sense that not everyone can afford a Lamborghini, but that doesn’t mean the only alternative is walking.
(…even though we can all use more cardio…am I right?)

There is always another way!

…Mars Bravo emphasizes that interior signage requires a different mindset. As outlined in her perspective, these signs are often viewed from a close distance, under controlled lighting, and within intentional architectural environments.

“Interior signage isn’t just about labeling a space or pointing directions—it’s often the first branded message someone sees after they’ve already stepped inside,” Mars Bravo notes. That means finishes, lighting, and proportion need to be flawless.

Yup!
You can reach out to a local sign company (Me…duh!) for custom address numbers that fit your building. Whether you’re after a unique material, a specific finish, a custom color, or a typeface that matches your architecture or just want to get creative, working with a sign professional lets you bring that vision to life.

Address numbers are something people notice every day, so why settle for mass-produced options from a big-box store when you can have something thoughtfully designed and made just for you? A custom touch goes a long way!

Before, during, and after photos of push-thru acrylic letters.

Although refurbishing signs can be tedious, I believe it’s still very worthwhile. In an era of extreme consumerism and waste, I take pride in extending the life of signs whenever I can. 🤓
