U of A Bruegger’s Bagels

Campbell and Speedway location

The Bruegger’s Bagels at Campbell and Speedway, by the U of A, just had a new sign go up! Bruegger’s Bagels is one of America’s favorite places to get freshly baked breakfast treats, and its no different for Tucson residents! The U of A location decided it was time for a face-lift and had Sign Magic make them a brand new sign! This sign is pan channel lettering mounted onto a raceway. The white faces of the letters are laser routed on our routing table from sheets of white acrylic. The pans and raceway are made from aluminum which is routed and bent into the shape of the letters. Each of these letter pans are lined with LED’s which allow the sign to light up each evening. The sign is on a timer which is set to turn on and off automatically. The letters are fixed to the raceway and then our install crew mounted the raceway to the building. Next time you are craving a delicious bagel, or are driving by the U of A, make sure to check out this new sign!

Journeys Kidz

The finished sign.

We were in the Tucson mall today converting a sign to LED illumination. The sign for Journeys Kidz, a children’s shoe store, has a routed aluminum face with back-lit acrylic. The face of the sign has also been sand-blasted and painted. The sign was originally lit by fluorescent lamps. These lamps tend to burn out more quickly and require more maintenance. We took out the lamps and in their place wired the sign to be lit using LED’s. The LED lighting is not only cheaper to maintain but it is also cheaper on electricity when the sign is lit. LEDs have the added benefit of being brighter so Journeys Kidz sign stand out just a little better now than it used to!

This is the original lighting inside the sign, using the fluorescent lamps.

This is the sign after it has been converted to the LED lighting.

 

 

Cattleman’s Cafe 2

Cattleman’s Café 2 pan channel lettering

 

The owner’s of Cattleman’s Café located at the Marana Stockyard have just opened a new restaurant in Oro Valley. This second location is called Cattleman’s Café 2 and is located at 10110 N. Oracle Rd which is just North of El Conquistador. The owner’s would like to open a few more locations over the next couple of years to create a sort of brand for their sandwich and burger serving café. Sign Magic hopes to continue to help this company’s dreams become reality and give them some great signage as they expand across the Tucson area. This sign is pan channel lettering routed from aluminum. Cattleman’s is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner every day from 6:00 am till 8:00 pm.

3 New Signs Up!

Yikes Toys

    Sign Magic has just fabricated and installed three new signs in a shopping center off Broadway! The first is for Little Bird children’s clothing. This was cut from white acrylic and the pans were mounted onto a raceway which was then mounted to the wall. This sign is lit with LED illumination. The next sign is for Picante. This is also cut acrylic but red instead of white. This sign is also a pan channel sign mounted onto a raceway and lit using LEDs. The third sign we did is for Yikes Toys. It was made in the same way as the other two, but yellow vinyl was applied to the white acrylic before being installed.

HMS Bikes!

Sign after installation

A close up look at their cool logo!

We’ve just finished a really cool sign in Marana! HMS Bikes is located at 8225 N. Courtney Page Way. These pan channel letters were mounted on a raceway, which in turn was mounted on the front of the building. Each letter, and the face of the logo, was cut from sheets of acrylic using our laser routing table. The logo itself was printed out onto vinyl using our large format digital printer, then placed over the acrylic piece. The logo and each of the letters are lined with LEDs. These hook up to a timer, which will illuminate the sign each evening and then turn it back off come daytime. 

New, Oro Valley Mattress Firm

Mattress Firms are popping up all over the place! We just installed another, this time in Oro Valley, on the Northwest corner of Magee and Oracle. This sign, like the other Mattress Firm signs that Sign Magic has installed, is made of pan channel letters and lit using LED illumination.

Supertcuts Oro Valley

The Supercuts in Oro Valley, located at the corner of Magee and Oracle, will be reopening sometime during the beginning of next month. Sign Magic fabricated and just installed the sign for this location! Laser routed, red acrylic faces were fitted on the pan channel, and are lit using LED illumination. Another Supercuts will be going up in Marana soon so watch for our photos of that job once we have completed it!

Green Valley Mattress Firm

Pan channel letters, LED illumination.

Green Valley just got a Mattress Firm and Sign Magic installed their signs! This sign’s faces were cut from sheets of white acrylic. The pan each face is fitted to contains LED lighting to illuminate the sign at night. Sign Magic has installed all of the new Mattress Firm locations in Tucson and the surrounding areas. The newest one is located at 18720 S. Nogales Highway in Green Valley, at I-19 and Nogales Highway.

Jimmy John’s on Oracle

One of three signs installed at the new Jimmy John’s.

  Jimmy John’s just opened another new location! This one is located on the Oracle and Wetmore. Sign Magic fabricated and installed 3 signs for this new location. Each set is made of acrylic faces which have been outlined in black vinyl and then trim-capped. The logo is also made of an acrylic face which is covered with black and red vinyl. The faces fit onto pan channel letters which are lined with LED lights. The signs are all on timers which are set to illuminate each evening and then turn off automatically every morning. 

Pets Mart in Nogales, Az

One of the three sets of channel letters installed at this location.

    We don’t limit ourselves to just the Tucson area! We do work in places like Marana, Benson, Sierra Vista, Oro Valley, Sahuarita, Green Valley, Phoenix and in this case, Nogales! Our install crew faced the chilly weather we were experiencing in Southern Arizona on Tuesday and put up three sets of channel letters at a Pets Mart in Nogales, Az. These letters are lit using LED illumination and are placed on a timer so they will go on automatically each evening, and off again in the mornings. This is just one of many signs we have done in the Nogales area, and we are always ready for the next one!
