Gyropolis Redevelops Longstanding Location
Located on the corner of 90th and Penn in Bloomington, Gyropolis has been a popular destination for fans of Greek food for the last 20 years. In 2022 they decided to redevelop the lot, expand the existing restaurant's footprint and bring an elevated experience for their customers.
Project Goals
Every great sign project starts with a deep understanding of the client’s brand and goals. Gyropolis’ team wanted signage that reflected their updated branding while tying into the newly renovated building. The project included three key elements:
-
LED Face Illuminated Channel Letters
-
LED Illuminated Monument Sign
-
LED Halo Illuminated Address Numbers
Collaborative Design
Our design team collaborated closely with Gyropolis to ensure every detail was perfect.
-
For the LED channel letter sets, we integrated the updated branding. We researched city regulations to maximize the size of the letter sets. To ensure high visibility, we used bold colors—deep blue and white, which are visible both day and night.
-
The monument sign featured the Gyropolis logo on a routed aluminum panel. The panel was painted Gyropolis blue which really makes the logo and copy stand out from the sign background. Bright green accents were also used to highlight the logo on the sign.
-
The address numbers are fabricated out of reverse channel aluminum and halo illuminated with white LEDs at night.
Precision Fabrication and Installation
Once the designs were approved, fabrication began and our install team took over.
-
Channel Letters: Each letter was fabricated from aluminum and uses energy-efficient LED lighting. The letters were made with acrylic faces and a perforated vinyl film to promote excellent visibility both day and night. The signs were installed on the storefront using a raceway system, hiding the wiring for a clean appearance. The LEDs were tested to ensure even lighting.
-
Monument Sign: Using an internal steel framework, the sign was built to withstand weather conditions while maintaining its aesthetic appeal. It was installed on a steel pole set in a concrete footing to provide a solid foundation.
-
Address Numbers: The numbers were fabricated out of aluminum and painted a satin dark bronze for a professional finish. They were securely mounted with standoffs, giving a subtle shadow effect that added depth during the day and helps create a halo effect at night.
The End Result
The completed redevelopment transformed Gyropolis into a standout destination. We are proud to have played a small role in the overall look of the space. The illuminated channel letters catch the eye of passersby, even from a distance. The monument sign acts as a beacon for drivers, while the address numbers add a refined look. Together, these elements not only enhance Gyropolis’ curb appeal but also create a cohesive brand presence.
