New at DeFrance




By our own admission our building has been pretty unimpressive. Mostly because we were not sure if we would be quickly moving again to a different location. We'll we have finally made a desicion that we are not moving for quite some time and therefor are fixing up the place. So far we have added grass along the street, desert plants next to the parking lot and the newest addition is our sign shown above.
Over the next few months we will continue to upgrade and improve our location in hopes to better serve our clients aswell as improve the neighborhood. Keep an eye out for more improvement.

Details about our sign-
We have been tossing ideas around since we moved in this location about something industrial, metal and big but just couldn't decide on exactly what. I was having some parts for a car cut out of metal and started thinking about how cool the process is, like die cutting but out of metal.
We started with a sheet of 4' x 6' 1/8" mild steel that was then waterjet cut from our artwork using an illustrator file. After the sign was cut we then welded on 4 legs to add depth off the building and then took it to be powder coated. After powder coating we glued on a sheet of 1/8" white plastic to highlight the artwork and then mounted it to the wall. It was our first experience with this type of signage but we think it came out great.
