Dimensional Blade Sign in Ship Bottom NJ | The Local Market
Typestries created this custom dimensional blade sign for The Local Market and Kitchen in Ship Bottom, New Jersey, combining distinctive materials with a sign structure designed for the coastal conditions of Long Beach Island.
The Local’s branding called for something with more character than a flat printed panel. We produced a dimensional sign featuring a real copper background, raised lettering and dimensional borders, carefully translating the restaurant and market’s identity into a physical sign with depth, texture and architectural presence.
A Dimensional Sign Built Around the Brand
Material and fabrication choices are an important part of dimensional-sign design. The copper background gives this project a naturally distinctive surface, while the raised lettering and border create depth that remains visible as lighting and viewing angles change throughout the day.
The result complements the atmosphere of The Local while giving the business a recognizable sign that can attract attention from pedestrians and passing traffic in Ship Bottom.
Custom Blade-Sign Bracket for Long Beach Island
The sign is installed perpendicular to the building in a blade-sign configuration. Typestries custom fabricated the aluminum mounting bracket with the exposed coastal location in mind, where wind and weather are important considerations in both fabrication and installation.
