Good Sign

Happy birthday to Good Sign owner, Bill Talken. Here's a little Donny Osmond to mark the occasion.

"Donny Osmond - A Birthday Song for You Ecard (Personalize Lyrics)" is one of thousands of American Greetings cards you can personalize, share, and send to your friends and family.

Had a little fun with the input of a fellow bicyclist in coming up with a logo for our local bike club.

Just sharing more views of the new Challis Restoration truck. I like it from every angle, but I most enjoy how that splash of Hot Rod Red grabs your eye.

I love repeat customers, and it's especially a joy to work with Dean Challis of Challis Restoration. He knows what he likes well enough to give me direction and notes, while also letting me make it look good on the vehicle. We revised the truck design from a few years ago to fit this new beauty of a work horse.

I've been thrilled to make decals and banners for Cookies and Dreams, and today I get to enjoy their wares as well as be paid for said work.

I can't recommend their cookies enough. I just need to make sure I share some at home as well as at the office. Being left alone with them for the time being, that feels like a tall order.

Yummmmmmm!!!

Got the chance to work with Cookies & Dreams out at I-80 and Middle Road.

Friday morning they opened up this new location, and from the smell of the place I'd bet they are serving some of the best cookies in the Quad Cities.

Thursday I was able to print and install some vinyl graphics and lettering to aid in their branding.

The place is looking great and I look forward to sampling their wares soon.

I should have posted this dad joke a few days ago, but I was busy preparing for my birthday... and to tell you the truth, I found it only slightly amusing. Yet with the sign reference, I felt it needed to be shared.

Now, today's joke was funny. In fact it was downright hilarious :)

What has my son got??? Well, it's not shingles.

It IS a job at my shop making signs like this. This is his first sign for this summer. He did the art, he weeded the vinyl, and he applied the graphics to the board.

Apparently a lot of houses are being re-roofed due to a hail storm awhile back, and the Waste Commission is trying to guide the dumping of said shingles to the proper location at the landfill.

Of course, he was properly supervised for now, but I have a feeling he'll be running the place before long.

I love that 3' x 5' signs fit in the back of my Prius. My Joliet customer paid for delivery to the New Lenox IDOT sign shop so I'm heading out early tomorrow morning.

Driving across most of Illinois, I really hope I don't get pulled over and asked for credentials proving my essential status. Fortunately the government always wants their stuff and this is their stuff at this stage.

In all seriousness though, I expect to see ONE person when I drop off the signs: and I will be wearing a mask and gloves, as will he. Believe me, I'm not taking COVID-19 lightly, especially anywhere close to Chicago.

After a Sunday afternoon of lightly floating, yet steady, snowfall, I found what I hope is my last snow-covered work truck of the season. I don't know why, but I think it looks pretty cool.

Plasticade offers a variety of durable and portable signs. Pictured here are the Signicade Deluxe sandwich board (empty, but with room for 3' x 2' insert panels), and the Gemstone Parking Sign with CLERGY parking decals. The Gemstone sign here includes the optional 20 pound weight which looks like a fl**ge at its base.

These are just a couple of great signs we sell from Plasticade, plus personalized decals or inserts. Call us for a quote and proof for these portable signs.
