Happy Fall!  Everyone is rushing around trying to get their jobs done before winter sneaks in. The guys here at Brushmarks Signs are busy helping our customers do the same. Just because the cold is setting in doesn't mean we stop working here at Brushmarks though, we do a wide variety of Decals and Banners during these Minnesota months of winter...the guys here do like to sneak in a few days of Ice fishing on the weekends too! So for a flash back to the warmer days of summer, here are the guys installing Detroit Lakes new Caribou Coffee!

The Hockey Arena's Facelift

Begining in the summer, with not an icicle to be found; the Hockey Arena began an awesome facelift!

From the bottom .......
..to the top!
Scroll through our photos, and see the results of many people and businesses working together to make Detroit Lakes Hockey Arena a great place to not only be, but also to see!
They say it takes a village...we were glad to be part of this project along with so many others from our "village" of the Detroit Lakes Area.

BTD Featuring our own "Big Tough Dawgs"

BTD has a new look and we helped! This is a great picture story of our sign team in action! I don't think it needs much narration except, it was cold, it was big, it was heavy, and it was waaaaaaay up there!

Our team of professional sign people can do almost anything! Great job Mark, Dave, and Casey!

Well, LaDeDa........

When Kara Schumann from LaDeDa came to us for something as unique as her business, we took the ideas and ran! She wanted something different than what everyone else had, I think that was accomplished. We fabricated steel tubes to appear as twisted and weathered copper tubes in an artful design, the sign lifts off the building to create another visual pleasure; just a couple of details to assure this sign was unique. Her sign stands out; not only does her sign say she is in business, it gives her customers the feeling they will find something special and unique in her store. We applaud Kara for her knowledge of what a sign can say about your business. We are also happy she trusted us to help her design her very own, special, unique sign!

The Dirty - The Diggin' - The Wind - and - The Cold

Hawley Realty need a lighted sign for their new location. After all of the details were worked out, Dave and Caesy began by "diggin" the hole for the new pole. (looks complicated for just a hole in the ground, eh?) In reality, this hole will be supporting a double faced 8ft x 8ft lighted sign cabinet, on top of a 12 ft pole. Think of the weight and then factor in wind speed, these holes are not really "just a hole!" Depth, width, strength, not to mention the fact we have Gopher One on speed dial,--just a few reasons to let us guide you through the process!

After the cement is ready, the pole and sign can be placed. This morning was cold; a bit of snow, and a bit of wind, makes for a miserable day for Dave and Casey, but troopers that they are, they were out in full force, bucket truck, crane, and pick up at the ready!

Up and on, sounds so easy; of coarse, Dave and Casey make it seem that way, you don't even see the knocking knees on the way up, up, up-up--up---up! Great job guys! The sun even came out in approvale! Come meet Dave and Casey and all of us here at Brushmarks Signs, we'll help you with any of your sign projects, BIG or small!

Have you seen the "Purple People Eater?"

Did I not tell you we get to do fun projects for Leighton Broadcasting?

Vikings vehicle number 9 (yes! nine) has just been completed!

Every year since the begining, Jeff brings us a random bright purple vehicle! We don't know what it is until it gets here. He gives us the keys, sponser names, and says have fun~! We love doing this car every year. This year's jeep is no exception, with lines of cheering fans lining the sides and a big ole' Viking Head beckoning you to show us your horns, you get the idea of how your vehicle can get you noticed no matter what your message!

Visual marketing is more than just signage on you store front, call or stop in and let us show you how you can get noticed all day, everyday, and everywhere you go!
