This Sign Costs $300 Less Than Cast Metal

Culture tells us that superficiality is a negative trait. (Insert reckless Kardashian quip here). In the world of signage however, superficiality is law. This is because signs are superficial in nature—every sign on earth is judged only on looks. Many people consider the look of cast metal foundry signs to be highly desirable. The price for such a sign, on the other hand, they find undesirable. Wouldn’t it be great if you could get a real metal sign at a much cheaper price? With Atlas Signs and Plaques, you can.

Atlas Signs and Plaques offers metal coated signs for up to 60% less than foundry cast. We accomplish this low price by using HDU, instead of foundry, as our primary substrate. HDU (high density urethane) is a sturdy compound that survives temperatures in excess of 300* without rusting, warping, fading, rotting and peeling. We coat our HDU with real metal patina that gives the sign the look of foundry, without exceptional cost.

Looks Exactly Like Foundry

That word keeps coming up: look. Why pay for a sign (remember, ONLY looks matter) that is completely metal, when you can buy one that looks like foundry for much less?

Here is a comparison of a standard 16 x 10 sign from Atlas Signs and Plaques and a leading competitor.

Gemini Sign Letters charges $493 for a fully custom foundry 16 x 10 sign.

Atlas Signs and Plaques offers the same metal-coated 16 x 10 fully customizable sign for $195. That’s a  $298 difference. For a sign that looks exactly the same, why spend the extra $300?

The Renaissance Man

Have you ever heard the term “Renaissance man”? To those who haven’t, it refers to somebody who is highly skilled in a wide range of fields. Many consider the epitome of the term to be the life and work of Leonardo Da Vinci. And for good reason: Da Vinci’s artistic expertise is remarkable, his inventions incredible. He pioneered the parachute, helicopter, scuba gear, as well as breathtaking painting techniques all while being a talented musician and scribe (little is known of his athletic ability, however). Nevertheless, many of Da Vinci’s creations influence modern devices; like the airplane. Today, I’m going to show you 5 of Da Vinci’s most influential theories and inventions.

If sea-world ever chose to hang a custom address plaque on their property this would be the one.

It’s been spotted multiple times on this blog, appeared on other blogs, and even generated a request for a 5-foot version (now that’s a lunker).

Now for some fun information about whales

It is believed that whales evolved from wolf-like mammals 55 million years ago.

It is possible that ancient whales gave birth on land. Pregnant females have been found in the mountains of Pakistan (which would have been ocean-shore 45 million years ago).

The whale’s closest present-day relative is (unsurprisingly) the hippo.

The Whale's Close Relative--Hippopotamus

Blue Whales were hunted from a population of almost 400,000 to 2,000 during the mid 1900’s. That’s 99.5% of their population.

The Blue Whale is the biggest creature to ever exist.

The Killer (Orca) Whale is actually a dolphin. Dolphins are in the Cetacean family, which they share with whales.

The largest animal on earth, the blue whale, feeds on a creature 1/100,000,000^th its size—krill, which it eats up to 8,000 lbs. of a day.

Whales vocalize at up to 188 decibels and can be heard from 1,000 miles away. We assure you our Whale Address sign is a mute.

Baby whales grow at a rate of 8 lbs. an hour.

Sure It Looks Cute Now...

Remember, all purchases of $125 or more will receive a complimentary ornament of your choosing, including the mini-whale.
