We had the absolute privilege of working with creative and design team at Ogilvy Chicago to help with the design and fabrication of a new sign for Ernst Hemingway’s birthplace in Oak Park, IL. As a result, we got to fabricate a really cool sign made from High Density Urethane on our CNC machine with the main copy have beveled edges, recessed sub copy in an off white sign paint and hand gold leaf applied to the main copy. We re-located the sign on the property so it would get more attention and help drive more visitors through their door to visit this historic house.
