According to Sign Art Studio (Mount Horeb, WI) President Dan Yoder, the Food Fight Restaurant Group is “always looking for something a little different.” In designing and fabricating a projecting blade sign for Cento, an Italian restaurant in Madison, WI owned by Food Fight, Sign Art delivered another distinctive sign for its long-time client.

The shop made this blade sign stand out with traditional scroll work, ray-burst elements at the top and bottom, and a simple-face/halo-lit LED channel letter. Sign Art spraypainted the background blue, then airbrushed with a darker blue around the edges. The graphics were hand-painted before the whole cabinet was sprayed with an automotive clear coat.
