Logo Design

This huge neon sign in St. Louis is a stunning 26 feet tall and we won First Place/Best in Show for Internally Illuminated Outside Design sign in the prestigious Signs of the Times Magazine juried contest. I wanted the colors to be wild and bright, like a carnival. Since the indoor mini golf place has a magician theme, I put the man and woman in dressy clothes and magician’s top hats with a red magician’s cape.

With animation and neon flashing on and off in sequence, it looks like the players are putting a golf ball and that it moves into the hole and disappears. The cape is also moving back and forth and the letters in MAGIC are flashing on in sequence. It lights up the street in the vibrant Delmar Loop arts and entertainment district.

I wanted this neon sign for a dive bar in St. Louis to glow with an old-fashioned advertisement lettering style and a woman in a retro bathing cap and suit diving into a martini glass. From far away, you can tell that this is a bar. I also wanted to shout out the old beer neon signs that beer companies used to give bars to put on their walls.

A huge 11-ft wide animated neon sign that is poppy, colorful and evocative of classic 24-hour diner neon signs. The neon on the feathers blinks on and off in a sequence giving the effect of the peacock fanning its feathers out and back in. I won First Place/Best in Show in Signs of the Times 2015 Reader’s Choice international sign awards for my design.

I also designed ten smaller neon signs that tell people what the diner offers, such as hamburgers, milkshakes, skee ball, and hot dogs. The curved shape of these signs echos the curved shape of the big main sign.
