To my grandparents, getting your car waxed or detailed meant getting your car “Simonized”. Simoniz
sought to play up the company’s history with this new sign for its West Hartford, CT detail center. The
15-ft.-tall sign, which includes a 42-in.-diameter circle and 5 ft. 6 in.-long arrow, features a face made
from 3/16-in.-thick, stepped acrylic. Graphics were produced with 3M translucent vinyl – except for
the “The Garage”, which was fashioned from second-surface acrylic. The base cabinet was made from
0.063-in.-thick aluminum, and 36W CAO Group LuxemBright LED modules illuminate the face. Akzo
Nobel’s acrylic-polyurethane coating covers all components.
