Here is what we are working with, I know it might seem typical, but thought everyone could really have some fun with this one....
CUSTOMER - Eddie's Diner
BUSINESS INFO - Diner that has been in business for over 50 years, seeks to preserve the 50's retro feel throughout the establishment. Inside of cafe is filled with 50's memorabilia and decorations (classic cars, Elvis, Betty Boop, etc.) They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Menu is typical diner food, but are well known for their burgers.
THE SIGN - Customer does not wish to purchase a whole new sign, they would like to use the existing poles and cabinets and get a fresh look. Cans and poles can be re-painted if necessary, and they are open to the idea of adding elements outside of the sign area to attract attention. The size of the cabinet at top is 6' X 12' and the sign is near it's allowed square footage in size. Anything added outside of the existing sign dimensions should not exceed 12 square feet. The lower cabinet is currently used as a marquee, but can be used for additional artwork if necessary.... you are the expert.
The artwork for the sign does not HAVE to be a "logo", but design it as you wish.
There are no budget limitations here, the customer is prepared to spend a reasonable amount of money to complete this project. Customer may also consider adding neon to the sign as well.
You can download the sign drawing for your layout here, use it as is or modify it how you'd like

Presentation is everything!!!
For the sake of simplifying this project, let's assume that all cabinets/poles/etc. are in like-new condition and permits etc. are not an issue. All of the leg-work has been done, you just get to have fun with it.
The deadline for the entries is MONDAY, MARCh 17th at 11:00 pm (eastern time).
Designs must be e-mailed to me at artfx1@comcast.net
Any questions, post them on this thread so everyone can see the answers.
Good luck to all, have fun!!!!!!
