Eric Bailey Earns Accolades from Wisconsin Sign Association -- Top Awards for Lemberg Sign Designer
Top Awards for Lemberg Sign Designer
Brookfield, WI (March 2020) – Lemberg is pleased to announce that Sign Designer Eric Bailey has been awarded top honors for his entries in the Wisconsin Sign Association’s 2019 Sign Design Contest. Bailey entered sign designs for Saint Kates Arts Hotel and Ironworkers Local 8, which won first and second place respectively.
At its annual Sign Design Contest, the WSA recognizes designers and sign companies for their impact on local communities through the creativity, effectiveness and excellence in design. Entries are evaluated by an independent panel for overall design, materials used, compatibility with the surrounding area. There are currently 11 categories including the two that included Bailey’s signs.
“I appreciate that our industry celebrates design with these contests,” said Bailey. “It is something I always have in the back of my mind when working on projects, and a motivator to try push the envelope with sign design.”
Bailey and his team work with customers and their branding firms to conceptualize signage and find ways to use unique materials or use materials in a unique way, as they did with the Saint Kates Arts Hotel channel letters. They consider location within the community and within the property as well as lighting, viewing angle and distance. A prototype is made, and the designs are tweaked. The final product is a sign that best represents the customer brand.
Winners were announced at the fall conference for the Wisconsin Sign Association. For more information about the contest and to see all the winners, visit the WSA website at https://www.wisconsinsign.org/
Bailey is an eight-year veteran of Lemberg's Signs and Lighting division. He has a degree from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design and a rich background in sign design including other award-winning work.
