Signs and sign design embraces industrial design, and use of figure ground presentations, with color renderings, 3D CAD, product engineering and rapid prototyping. The shop drawings with all the dimensions needed was the key to working from paper to post in the ground with a wind load tolerant concrete footer. The sign team invested in a rapid printed prototype shop to compliment the full prototype shop. New materials and production technologies are used to meet the sign system demands.
