SIGN & IMAGE, NIAGARA FALLS,
ON, CANADA
Three circus-themed signs newly installed for the Big Top Amazing Mirror &
Laser Maze, a new attraction of Clifton Hill in Niagara Falls, ON, Canada.
OST people associate Niagara
Falls with the
twin falls themselves - the
Canadian and
US sides - Maid
of the Mist tour boats and the like.
But there's more to Niagara than
just the waterworks. Nearby Clifton
Hill is a major tourist destination, a
street of attractions featuring rides,
arcades, wax museums and more.
Our client Niagara Clifton Group
is one of a few ownership groups of
the various Clifton Hill attractions.
M
Signature Sign designer Elaine Wallis sketched the concept and submitted
related photos to the client for the go-ahead.

SIGNS OF THE TIMES
AUGUST 2017
Recently they purchased a full set of
construction drawings and designs
of the décor and signage for the new
"Big Top Amazing Mirror & Laser
Maze" from a design firm, Oak Island
Creative (Louisville, KY). Included
were a logo and creative for all the
signage. Oak Island was happy to let
us make changes to the logo and sign
concepts to fit our vision for the
main entrance signs. Even though
the signs were based on logos and
designs by Oak Island, we were able
to let our own creative style and flair
shine through.
SKETCH ARTISTRY
We've had a 30-year relationship with
Niagara Clifton Group, designing
logos and signage for some of their
other attractions, so they completely
trusted our ideas. Unfortunately, our
designer (my mother and co-owner
of the company with my father)
Elaine Wallis was under the gun to
