Soaring High in Baltimore Harbor

Legg Mason awarded Art Display the contract for their new, International Headquarters Identification in Baltimore’s “Harbor East.” The all glass curtain wall presented some interesting challenges for the installation of the channel letters.

With LED providing the illumination for Legg Mason’s 12’ 9” and 10’ tall letters, the service on these letters will be minimal and our team of designers worked closely with the developer, Streuver Bros. Eccles and Rouse in devising
a method of attaching the letters to the glass mullions that brought out the best in our teams’ inventiveness.

Unique Identity at Inox Restaurant

We've heard plenty about Inox Restaurant, which opened a few months ago in Tysons Corner, VA. Inox means stainless steel in french and the meaning is taken out of the kitchen and greeting you big and bold. We installed very unique stainless steel channel letters above the main entrance. They are three feet deep and probably the deepest letters Art Display Co. has ever made.

Wiregrass - Blades of Metal

The making of this 18-foot tall sculpture in the shape of grass blades forming a "W" involved drawing each crossection of the "blade", cutting the pieces out of aluminum and welding them on the curved core post. The structure was then filled with fiberglass, sanded smooth and bolted to mounting plates. Painting was to be done on site (in Florida) after installation.




Very ornate internally illuminated directories with 3-layer posts and digitally printed graphics.

Art Display Gets a Digital Face-Lift

Art Display Co., a sign and awning manufacturer in the Washington DC metro area with more than 60 years experience, thought it was time to refresh its online presence. Customers frequently want to see the latest in technology and environmental design, compare what was designed for others in their industry and get new ideas for their next project. The previous web site was more than 6 years old and didn’t allow for quick additions of new projects and features.

New web technology has enabled Art Display Co. to keep up and deliver image-rich content that is both educational and inspirational. Pages have dynamic content, allowing newly completed projects to be added automatically at the top. The projects are organized by industry type – retail, residential, corporate, etc. If, for example, a property manager or a restaurant owner is not familiar with the various types of signage, she can check out the corresponding section for ideas and research the case studies for more.

The recently redesigned website has lots of room for expansion. Visitors will soon be able to find information on industry related terminology and fabrication insights to help them understand the process. A color chart will soon be added to the artwork submission guidelines and letter visibility chart.

Art Display Co. offers design and fabrication of environmental graphics, ranging from banners, awnings and canopies, neon and LED illuminated signage to comprehensive plans for multi-use projects complete with shopping center pylons, monument signs wayfinding and ADA signs. Recent projects include channel letters and promotional graphics for the Washington Nationals Stadium, complete sign package for the mixed-use development Park Place Annapolis, leasing center graphics for Millville by the Sea in Delaware and fabricating the structure for the Butterfly Pavilion in the Natural History Museum.
