Signs of the Times

by Heather Huddleston, Contributing Editor

ASG's sign packages optimized for courthouse signage were highlighted in this article. Signage in courthouses is especially important, for directional assistance, ADA compliance, multi-lingual communication and security. But most of all, "Clear signage takes the pressure off courthouse staff and alleviates confusion amongst people whose emotions are already high. A clear sign is a sign of justice and efficiency."

2006 Laser Engraving Report: Case Study: Leather Gun Case

by Beth Gillispie

ASG was asked to replicate an English gunmaker's logo on leather to fit the inside lid of a wooden gun case handmade in the early 1800's. This article describes the details of this unique and challenging custom engraving project, from scanning and converting the original logo found on antique parchment, to reproducing the logo by laser engraving it on specially stained leather. The laser process successfully "captured all the detail and texture of the old hand-tooled design."
