Fizzy Lifting Soda Pop Candy Shop Sign – Part 1

Fizzy Lifting Soda Pop Candy Shop Sign – Part 1

Aug 4, 2014 |

Some jobs are fun from the beginning to end. My family and I were recently at a great new candy store that opened up in our town – Fizzy Lifting Soda Pop Candy Shop.  The store is as great as the name and if you’re ever in Warwick, NY you have to stop in – they have every candy you can imagine and more. We had a nice conversation with the owner and wished him luck then he mentioned he was in need of a sign – so we sprung into action.  They have such a great logo, a bottle cap and a fun font.

Callahan’s Hot Dogs – Food Truck Wrap

Apr 17, 2014 |

If you’re from NJ there’s a good chance you have great memories of Callahan’s Hot Dogs.  Callahan’s Hot Dogs has been a staple in NJ since 1950.  Unfortunately they closed their doors about seven years ago.But the grandson of founder Leonard “Artie” Castranni, had big plans for the beloved hot dog business.  Daniel DeMiglio, being a smart entrepreneur decided to resurrect the brand…and take it mobile with a food truck. Daniel contacted KDF for the branding and design on the food truck – and we were pumped! We had a short time to get it designed, printed and installed for the big debut.  we got it in right under the wire. Nanette jumped right on the design and nailed it – Rad got the vinyl done just in time. We were proud to work with such an iconic “NJ” brand and extremely happy that Daniel has brought back Callahan’s! If you see this truck YOU MUST STOP FOR A HOT DOG! Best of luck – Daniel.  Welcome Back Callahans – you’ve been missed! – Steve We started with this… And Here it is!

“Robots” Sign – Complete

Mar 31, 2014 |

We’re coming to the end of the “Robots” project. I’m doing a little painting in place as it hangs in the wall.  First I’m going to paint the “guts” of the letters – then age them a little bit. This is a Modern Masters Metallic Copper.  I’ll then do a glaze of Black Pearl over the copper. Once dried I’ll rust out the metal clamps. The last touch is to dry brush some pure silver back over the face of each letter
