A Year in Review: Some of Our Favorite 2020 Projects

Now that it’s behind us, we can look back on 2020 and say, with no irony, that it was certainly a different kind of year. The COVID-19 pandemic brought much of the country to a screeching halt for a time, and many companies had to pause, reset, and rethink their processes. Like many businesses, the pandemic affected our work, too.

But clients still needed signs. Companies continued to rebrand. And through it all, we continued to reach out, build relationships with new clients, and create and install signage that we — and our customers — take great pride in.

Here are a few of our favorite projects.

Cadence Design Systems of Burlington

We collaborated with Haynes Group to design several Boston-themed wall graphics for this client.

Seascape of Weymouth

We designed and installed an interior and exterior signage package for this new luxury residential building located on the South Shore.

Braintree Logan Express

We had fun with this fast-paced 8-week project on which we collaborated with Edward Paige Company, Massport, and the experts at Dewberry & Rolle Barresi. We hit our deadline — even with a pandemic, tight timelines, large scale, and complexity — for the June 30 installation.

The Majestic 7

Although the pandemic shut the world down for a time, we designed and installed the signage for Arsenal Yards’ updated movie theater. Can’t wait to catch a flick!

Jean McDonough Arts Center

Worcester’s JMAC opted for retro with a new neon channel letter set that zings! We designed signage for Worcester PopUp’s new BrickBox Theater, too.

The Landing at Hudson Mills

A grand entrance requires a grand sign! The beautiful new curved signage at Hudson Mills provides an elegant, welcoming focal point for visitors and tenants of the historical commercial building.

J Borstell Realty

When the company rebranded, we elevated its original sign from average and outdated to understated elegance. The sign’s design includes LEDs that create a glowing halo effect.

University of Massachusetts Boston

Our team partnered with the university and Consigli Construction on the Renovations to Existing Academic Buildings (or REAB) project. We created and installed a large number of directional/ wayfinding and ADA compliant signs.

Block Party Social Rebranding

While they’ve had to wait to host their block parties, we loved helping Space Center Entertainment rebrand and transition to Block Party Social. The family entertainment center features our new illuminated pylon sign and electronic message center.

Century Bank

This project’s theme? Go big or go home! We added vinyl wall branding to add life and zing to the Medford, MA headquarters.

Native Sun

We collaborated with Isenberg Projects to design, fabricate, and install the exterior signage for Native Sun’s new Hudson location. The project consisted of two halo-lit channel letter sets and face-lit logos.

The Barn

An institution in Newton since 1948, The Barn Family Shoe Store rebranded last year — and we collaborated with The Barn team and Mark Development to design, manufacture, and install illuminated wall signs, window graphics, and an entrance awning.

Dynatrace

We’ve installed a number of conference room graphics for this technology company located in Waltham, MA.
