Fizzy Lifting Soda Pop Candy Shop Sign – Part 1

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. I told him I’d love to take on the project.

So here is where we began – a very nice logo just screaming to be produced as a dimensional sign.

We got started right away using Enroute Pro software to  create the dimensional sign. the overall dimension will be 42″ round. The Sign will be double sided and hang on a nice scroll sign bracket off the front of the building.

Once the 3D logo was completed. It was time to start cutting. We started by cutting the details of the sign face out of 1″ and 1/2″ White PVC.732731We are using 15lb – 2″ Precision Bard HDU for each sign face with a 1″ layer for our inside frame.   791

Spring Project for Bohemian Bloom

Sometimes KDF is  just a small part of a project. We could be creating a structure, a graphic or a number of other elements for our clients designs. No matter what is we love to see what our clients final piece!

In this case we created some foam letters for Tana Leigh Gerber at Bohemian Bloom who creates amazing paper flora. Check out her work.

We used 1/2″ Gator Foam cut on our MultiCAM 3000. We cut tabs into the logo and slotted a base for easy setup.photo6

The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Sign

Another super fun job! The Amazing Spider-Man 2 sign.

This sign will hang at the Disney Store in Times Square. We cut the larger letters out of 1.5″ Precision Board HDU and the smaller letters from 3/4″ PVC.  We then cut the face of the letters from 1/4″ PVC.

Brian then painted the red part of the letters with Metallic Red paint then airbrushed the gradation onto the face – WOW I love it.

Rad wrapped a piece of 2″ Gator Board with Avery Car Wrap vinyl – front and back. Mark and Greg took it from there to complete the assembly and install the threaded rod hangers. Great job everyone. Can’t wait to see this movie! – Steve
