Before and After
An overdue signage makeover in Florida

What a difference an hour makes. That’s The Sign Police’s (West Palm Beach, FL) installation time for new signage at the entrances to Cascaya, a community in the Ibis Golf & Country Club in West Palm Beach. In just 60 minutes, the signage went from dreary and dated to sleek and sophisticated.

Before and After

The old Cascaya sign had seen better days.


The original sign – polystyrene acrylic letters (note the warping of the capital C!) and crumbling Styrofoam®, was so worn, no one would imagine it marked the entrance to a prestigious community.

Before and After

The letters were beginning to warp and pull away from the sign's base.


Stephen Salzberg, principal for The Sign Police, lives in the Cascaya community and knew change was needed. He proposed a new sign to the development’s president, and, luckily, there was money in the budget.

Before and After

The new sign uses Alpolic, not marble, so it just looks heavy.


The sign’s upgrade traded the weather-beaten look for granite-mimicking Alpolic® aluminum composite material. Atlas Sign Industries (West Palm Beach, FL) fabricated the reverse-channel letters from .125 aluminum face with .080 welded aluminum returns. The background Alpolic face was routed to fit with a second Alpolic inlay and then chemically bonded to the aluminum box. Installing it over the existing sign reduced installation time.

The two new signs cost just $9,500.
