Julie and Carl of Scoops Ice Cream and Candies approached me with their project. They were looking to enhance and draw more attention to their new location with a large exterior sign. Going through the concept and design process we quickly decided that the sign design was also going to become their new logo. Once the final design was rendered I quickly learned how to CNC a template to hand plasma trace the design out of sheet metal. The middle of the sign was also hand cut, roll bent and broke to match the bubbly ice cream cone shape. With a little help from friends, we ground down welds and drilled 44 holes for the light bulbs. After all the holes were drilled I fit the sign with sockets, wired up the sockets and tested the electrical. Working with Prodigy Sign in Kenosha we coordinated the hanging of the sign.
Special Thanks:
This is a Milwaukee Makerspace project, thank you, gang!
