Pipeline Cab Co. - Partial Vehicle Wrap

All of our projects have unique challenges that we enjoy, but this particular vehicle wrap was just plain fun! Everyone at the shop was talking about how great the cab looked once we were done, and the owner loved the final result.

Bill Schoneberger of Clear Concepts Communication did the design for the wave and overall layout, based on the artwork of Tomac Henson of Epik Ink Tattoo. We tweaked the design to fit the Prius, and created separate cut files for the two layers of vinyl lettering.


(Here is a side view of the cab, before the white reflective vinyl has been applied.)

The first layer of cut vinyl was the black background for "Pipeline Cab Co.", followed by white reflective vinyl to make sure the cab name is visible at night.

Agile RF - Tradeshow Pop Up

We recently completed a project for Agile RF, a wireless technology company located in Goleta. The pop up display is lightweight and collapsible, making it easy to transport to different trade show locations across the country.



The frame is made of lightweight aluminum and can be completely collapsed. Two lamps were included with the package which help make the graphics "pop."



The included soft case can be upgraded to a hard shell case from the same manufacturer, which is recommended for shipping or checking the display at the airport.

Santa Barbara Zoo - Store Branding Project

We recently completed an extensive branding and point-of-purchase signage project for the Santa Barbara Zoo. The new store has a dramatic round overhead sign and wall posters as well.



The overhead cylinder frame was fabricated from square aluminum tubing and then powder coated. It breaks down for shipping, moving through doors, etc. We printed the images on 3M Controltac and mounted the laminated images on 3mm sheet PVC.



The inside and outside image sets, although similar, actually are different widths to accomodate the differing circle circumferences.



The PVC panels were installed to the frame on site and the entire assembly hoisted to the ceiling joists for attachment.



The world map was also printed on Controltac, laminated and applied to a single piece of sheet steel to provide a magnetic-receptive surface.

Santa Barbara Zoo - Vehicle Graphics

We recently finished wrapping the Santa Barbara Zoo's passenger van: full wrap on the sides and rear doors, decals on the front doors and hood, plus perforated vinyl on the rear and side windows.



The graphics were printed on our workhorse Mimaki JV3 solvent printer on 3M Controltac and laminated with 3M 8519 cast laminate(for best wrapping); the rear and side windows were covered with Clear Focus perforated window vinyl - the graphics look great and you can still see out.



Some of the graphics, such as the condor and palm tree on the rear, were printed separately and applied last for best alignment.
