One of our largest project to date, Right Way Signs of Chicago was awarded the contract for all interior and exterior signage at Goose Island Brewery’s new brewery tour experience at 1800 W. Fulton. The project included both exterior and interior signage focusing mainly on sign painting and custom mural work. The exterior work most notably focuses on big logo imagery, typography, reclaimed wood and metal, pulling in the feel of an old warehouse with the painting work having a “distressed” feel as if it was painted over 50 years ago. The Tap Room, where the tour begins and ends, has many different sign types. The “Lake Michigan” wall is made of reclaimed wood and has custom illustrations that the Right Way team hand painted in detail.
