“Pleasures of the Flesh Tattoo Parlor” in Fort Myers, Florida was the second location for the business owner.

The Solid Rock Community Church was originally named the Solid Rock Baptist Church. They already had a beautiful church monument sign.

A client approached us and asked if we could design both a logo and a new sign for his new Variety Store. The customer’s major concern was that he wanted a logo that wouldn’t make people think he was just another “dollar” store. Although the store would offer “dollar” items, he still wanted to accentuate […]
A client came to us for an idea for his new business sign. The business is called “Shoe Prints”. The retail store offers multiple high-quality shoe brands. The idea that the customer had for the sign was to have actual “shoe prints” in the sign that looked like foot prints up the front of the […]

When I drive by one of our signs, I think about our motto “Signs of Success are Signs by Crannie.” This may sound arrogant, but it isn’t meant to be. A new sign won’t make a bad business successful (although it will help increase sales). But a new sign will make a good business a […]
