Sign Company Serving Anaheim. In early 2018, it was announced that Disneyland would be receiving its very own restaurant! Many of you may already know about this project or have heard rumors about it before now, but just to give an official update – Anaheim Signs made The Restaurant signage near Disney’s California Adventure has a name!
The new eatery will be opening in Fall 2019 as The Landing Pavilion Cafe and Dining Experience. It will sit atop the Paradise Point area of DCA, directly across from Toy Story Land and next to Sleeping Beauty Castle.
While there is still much we do not know about the dining experience, we can say one thing for certain — The pavilion will feature incredible views of both Disneyland and DCA!
Given how popular Universal Studios and CityWalk are, it makes sense that such spectacular scenery would win over hungry guests. While some may consider the location too close to home, I believe it will help create more social encounters after work, during lunch breaks, and/or before or after a special event.
What does all this mean for you though? As someone who loves eating out, these types of settings could potentially increase your food-seeking adventures. Or maybe you are working long hours and need something quick and easy, thus reducing the chances of finding anyone else around to go with you.
Sign by the Angels
The Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim are an American professional baseball team that play in Southern California. They are currently members of the league’s Western Division of the AL (American League) Central Conference, and their home stadium is Angel Stadium in Tempe, Arizona.
The franchise was established as part of the now-defunct Pacific Coast Professional Baseball League in 1956. After five years in what would become known as Minor League Baseball, they were promoted to Major League status for the 1961 season.
Since then, the Angels have won two World Series championships, making them one of eight teams to do so. They also made it to the playoffs twenty times, which is more than any other MLB franchise.
Their most recent championship came in 2002 when they defeated the New York Yankees 4–2 in Game 7 at Yankee Stadium. That year, they received the first ever Willie Mac Award, given to the player who has displayed professionalism both on and off the field while setting a good example for his teammates. It is named after former outfielder Willie McGee, who played six seasons with the Angels.
Overall, the Angels have left a legacy of success in the game of baseball. Not only does this include two world titles, but also many playoff appearances and achievements.
Sign by the Ducks
The Ducks are always putting up new signs and decorations for their stadium or arena. They have even designed some of their own logos!
In fact, they had an internal contest to see what logo would be used as the primary sign for the franchise. Many people know the outline shape that is called the “Duck” but many don’t realize it has the word “duck” in it!
The team actually uses two different versions of this duck design. One with just the head and feet and one with the whole body as well. It is very cleverly done so you wouldn’t notice there isn’t any neck!
Both designs feature white feathers which give off a clean look like snow and winter.
Sign by the Honda Center
Looking at this signage, you can tell it is not your average company name! The word “Magic” calls to mind many things: incredible feats of skill that seem impossible, spectacular events or performances, and/or magic tricks.
So how did an organization get to use the word “magic” as their business moniker? It all started in 1988 when then-General Manager Tim MacMahon had an idea for team building. He wanted to find out what people loved most about winter sports, and then create organized experiences around those loves.
He decided ice hockey was one such passion, and so he planned his Winter Magic event with that goal in mind. Since the theme would be winter sports, participants could dress like any sport they chose, and there would be trick skates set up for fun times.
Since timing and logistics were a big part of organizing winter sports, Tim also connected the event with the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF), which gives venues time to prepare for competitions.
The organizers secured permission from IAAF to reuse their logo, and got approval to use the word “Magic” as well. From there, everything fell into place.
Participants enjoyed the experience, and media coverage praised the event’s success. People still talk about it today, even though more than two decades have passed!
Today, Eventlancer helps companies organize similar events through its platform.
Sign by the Convention Center
In addition to their more traditional line of business, companies can make money through services they offer at conventions or events. These event-specific businesses range from things like taking over all of your conference room table decorations to making sure nothing is left out for you to use during breaks to running special programs such as lunch or dinner.
Some examples of this are letting people eat company food or offering discounts to certain restaurants within walking distance of the venue. Some even have organized tours around the area!
These types of services add some extra income to in-town visitors’ experiences while attending the convention. It also helps promote the brand exposure that company has gathered before the event even starts.
Sign by the Disneyland Resort
The Disney company has always been famous for its theme parks, but it does not stop there! They also have merchandise that can be personalized to fit your style or lifestyle. You do not need to visit a park to get some kind of merchandise from Disney.
They offer many types of merchandise, including t-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, hoodies, jewelry, and even furniture and decorations. Many people enjoy creating their own collection of products related to Disney or adding new items to an existing collection.
Some companies will take pictures or use references of Disney characters or scenes and then add their own special touch to them. This is called customization.
You do not have to be very artistic to create cool designs. Some sign designers work with computer software or apps to add details and color to images to make them look more like a real design. This is called digital artistry.
There are several ways to profit through designing Disney themed products. You can sell your product directly from the source (Disney), produce run quality products yourself, or find third party sellers online who will help you market and ship the product.
Sign by the USC campus
While most people associate signs with helping promote your business, some are actually designed to get your attention or make an emotional appeal. Your customers will take notice of these signs!
USC has made it their mission to spread awareness about mental health issues through creating student-focused signage. They have even created tic-tac-toe boards that teach students how to recognize symptoms of depression and anxiety.
This is very important given that one in five college students suffer from major depressive disorder and one in 10 suffer from generalized anxiety disorder.
Many students feel uncomfortable seeking help for their mental health because they don’t know where to go. Others worry about being judged due to stigma surrounding mental illness.
It is totally normal to be stressed out during times of transition such as moving schools or starting a new job, but when stress becomes more than you can handle, it is time to do something about it.
There are many ways to manage your stress and we list several strategies here. In fact, there are many things you can do to reduce stress overall and specifically about studying and work.
Start practicing mindfulness and breathing exercises to relax yourself and focus on what you are doing at this moment. Also, try engaging in activities you enjoy so that your mood is improved along with your studies.
Having supportive friends who aren’t too busy chasing after crazy dreams helps as well.
Sign by the city of Anaheim
In October 2016, our city was hit with some devastating news- there is an urgent need for more signs in our community. As you probably know, we are in the middle of a major rebranding process for The City We Love.
The organization that oversees all signage in Anaheim belongs to me, as Secretary of Business Development. This includes yard signs, banners, logos and advertisements. These things all have different deadlines depending on what type of sign they are, when they will be used, and how much money it costs.
We currently do not have enough funds to meet our deadline for our banner design. It has to be completed and approved by June 1st, which means we do not have enough time to raise the necessary cash. If we miss this deadline, then we must find replacements that fit our branding colors and style!
This would be very difficult since we already have designs drawn up. So, my department will begin looking into ways to source these new signs. We will also ask the public if anyone knows where we can get free or cheap signs so we do not waste money buying ones that cost too much.
Popular signs at the company
The most popular employee sign is the “thumbs up” or V-sign for strong approval. Some companies add an additional word to make it more specific, such as “totally!” or “rock on!”
The reverse “thumb down” sign (or devil horns) was also very popular. This means that someone else’s bad action caused you to do something poorly.
Other common signs are the peace symbol, the circle with a line through it, and the square with a diagonal line going from one corner to another. All of these signify cancellation or no engagement in the topic being discussed.
These last two can be used negatively if the person creating the sign makes the lines too thick or heavy, which ends the conversation.
