Sign Cabinets
Alternative Styles:
Push-Thru and Stencil Letters
Durable sign cabinets are built in geometrical shapes or form fit to curved
shapes or patterns.
The LED illuminated sign cabinet will adapt to unique types of lighting by illuminating
either the complete face or the graphics and letters only.

PINNACLE CLUB - Investors Group Field Winnipeg
A perfect example of where modern illuminated signs got their start. This Pinnacle Club

CHANNEL LETTERS
Alternative Styles:
Halo
These individually illuminated letters are fabricated in various sizes and font types
depending on each individual style and application. Letters are precision cut and shaped
by state of the art equipment using high quality finished aluminum.
To achieve desired design elements, the logos and letters are illuminated through the face
or back-lit, either way, providing a rich, vibrant professional image. Letters are either
flush mounted or installed using the Invisi-Rail wall mount system which conceals the
electrical components.

IKEA - Sterling Lyon Parkway Winnipeg
The iconic Ikea logo is perfectly suited for channel letters. In this case each channel letter is one,
uniform color: the very recognizable Ikea yellow. In other applications the face, trim
cap and returns can all be different colors.
BOMBER STORE - Investors Group Field Winnipeg

GUPTA - University of Winnipeg
These Gupta letters include 5” black channel, acrylic faces and are mounted using our
Invisirail system. A unique componant is the day/night vinyl which appears
black during the day and white at night.
MACDON - 2555 Saskatchewan Avenue Winnipeg
These Macdon channel letters had to be approached a little differently than standard
channel letters because of the size and weight of the sign. We reinforced the channel so it
wouldn’t bend under it’s own weight and we had to use two pieces of lexan to make a single
face. In addition to those modifications, the entire sign was custom painted and the entire
face was vinyled to match Macdon’s branding.

INVESTORS GROUP FIELD - 315 Chancellor Matheson Road Winnipeg
Some of these massive channel letters are up to twelve feet tall. However, besides the text of
the logo, the arching shapes above the text were also fabricated as channel.
IQMETRIX - 311 Portage Avenue Winnipeg
During the day these brushed aluminum letters blend in to the substrate in a very understated way.
At night, the halo illumination makes this sign pop so you can’t miss it.
ARCHITECTURAL
Alternative Styles:
Graphic Frosting
Create a professional lasting impression by using raised letters in metal or acrylic to
present your company’s image. This non-illuminated signage is provided for interior or
exterior applications. Designs can be mounted flush to the wall surface or pin mounted
providing further depth to the letters.

These signs provide a noticeable identification factor to fit and promote your location

displays may be modest, architectural in design, or bold and will always make a statement.

STERLING LYON BUSINESS PARK - Sterling Lyon Parkway Winnipeg
This monument utilizes rear-lit, stand-off letters to achieve a halo effect. These
letters are also mounted on a curved stone monument which creates some
really nice curb-appeal.

CANADIAN MUSEUM FOR HUMAN RIGHTS - Israel Asper Way Winnipeg
This monument has a couple interesting features. The top white portion is
illuminated and the black lettering is non-illuminated. Which essentially
creates the opposite effect that is normally seen. The bottom portion
was manufactured the more traditional way with the

Advertising billboards are an outstanding opportunity to reach the public. The technology

Alternative Styles:
Acrylmotif
This is a functional and intentional way of directing people and traffic to specific areas of a
building or outdoor space. Wayfinding signage can be virtually any type of sign. However,
wayfinding signage must be unified by a singular wayfinding system. Wayfinding systems
are both functional by the details they contain as well as artistic and an
expression of clientele.

readily available. Instead of running a power line at great cost, this Linden monument was
built with a solar powering system which proved much more cost effective.

S I G N AT U R E S E R I E S
There are occasions in which we are contracted to create a “sign” that doesn’t follow
anything we’ve ever done before. A signature sign requires us to think outside the box.
Sometimes a client will come to us with a concept, a painting, or a sketch and it’s up to us
to build it. These signs are always attention grabbing as they will be like nothing
you’ve ever seen before.
