Optimum Signs

Ok. I have to admit it.  I have been a student at World Martial Arts for the past 10+ years. My family and I are all multi degreed black belts and my daughters are both instructors.  There is no better place to learn martial arts than World Martial Arts and Grand Master Yun is the best teacher I have ever worked with.  That makes this job personal for me. When we started working on the design for this job, we gathered a number of pictures from Grand Master Yun that he might want to see on the windows.  We then designed a number of options using characters that were prevalent throughout the Korean populace.  We used symbols that appear throughout the culture and are very dominate in the Tae Kwon Do community.  We submitted 14 different designs to Grand Master Yun for him to chose from and you can see which four made the cut.  We took a high resolution photo of Grand Master as the picture for the first window.  The second window we used the logo and...

The floor might be the last place you’d think to put a sign. In a way, that’s the advantage. Your floor space is uncluttered real estate where you can place some of your more practical signs and some of your most persuasive signs too. Different businesses will use custom floor graphics in different ways, opting to show people where to line up, or bring attention to a product just above a sign. Here are some of the ways that designer floor decals can benefit your Milwaukee business. Simple Wayfinding and Line-Making In complex facilities or offices, it can be challenging for people to find their way. That is especially true if, like in medical offices, they are sick or, as in schools, they are children. Floor decals can lead people to different departments, sections, or even their seats. You can create named paths that have personality, like a “tropical plant tour” within a greenhouse. You can also use floor decals to indicate how and where people should line up. For small...

Check out this custom LED, double sided monument sign for Staff Electric in Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin.  And it all started with a blank brick wall and the desire to use the wall for their new sign.  That’s where Optimum Signs came in. When our friends at Staff Electric contacted us we weren’t certain what they wanted. They asked us to meet them at the vacant building on Silver Spring Drive.  When we got there, our contacts were standing around the half wall that faces Silver Spring Drive.  That’s when we figured that this wall would play a big role in what they were looking to do.  They wanted to use the wall in any design we came up with.  Ok.  And they wanted it big.  As large as Menomonee Falls would allow the sign to be.  Got it.  And they wanted it to light up and be very visible from either direction on Silver Spring.  Yup.  So what do we have to work with? The wall is 8″ thick and sits on a loose gravel foun...
