Displays & Signs

Client: Anheuser-Busch Inc.
Producer: Lakeside Ltd.
Category: Fabricated Plastics: Fixture
Comments: With only six weeks to produce 3,000 units, the production schedule didn't provide sufficient time to create new tooling. What normally would have been injection molded or roto-casted was hand fabricated. Sheet plastic was cut and heat formed in the dimensions of a ski tip.

Client: Colibri
Producer: Flair Industries Inc.
Category: Multiple Materials: Counter, Shelf or Table Unit
Comments: The use of Lucite Optitex on the doors simulates a glass feeling. A finished-wood main structure supports the Optitex doors, adding to the unit's architectural look.

Client: Zima Beverage Co.
Producer: KCS Industries Inc.
Category: Fabricated Plastics: Sign
Comments: The combined use of backlit clear acrylic and reflective acrylic parallel the uniqueness of the product. The reflective properties of the acrylic denote the product's clean, light taste.

Client: Elizabeth Arden Co.
Producer: Design Display Group Inc.
Category: Motion, Light or Sound: Counter, Shelf or Table Unit
Comments: Since the electrical codes for over 12 foreign markets were needed, the interior housing provided for the variety of electrical components. If leaking did occur, parts were molded to channel water away from the electrical components.

Client: Nike/Foot Locker
Producer: Medallion Associates Ltd.
