What We Do
Specialty Signage Fabrication & Dimensional Signs
TBKD specializes in custom signage fabrication for brands, events, trade shows and commercial environments. We create sculpted signs, dimensional logos, architectural reliefs and large-scale branded structures that go beyond conventional flat signage.
From intricate brewery emblems and sculpted coats of arms to suspended trade show signs and oversized sports branding, we transform graphic designs into three-dimensional installations with depth, texture and visual impact.
Our signage fabrication services combine CNC machining, sculpting, dimensional construction and specialty finishing. Each sign is developed around its intended location, mounting requirements, durability and visual appearance.
Custom Signage Fabrication Capabilities
Trade Show Hanging Signs
Custom trade show hanging signs provide elevated branding above exhibition booths and event spaces, making a brand visible from multiple directions across the venue. TBKD fabricates suspended dimensional lettering, double-sided signs, sculptural overhead features and custom hanging brand elements. Depending on the application, signs can be designed with lightweight construction, integrated attachment points and modular components to simplify handling and installation.
We consider weight, balance, rigging requirements and the intended installation method during the signage fabrication, helping ensure that each hanging sign is developed for its specific exhibition environment. Our projects include suspended Edmonton lettering for All In Edmonton and large dimensional brand signage fabrication for Carrera trade show displays.
Sculpted Logos & Dimensional Signs
TBKD fabricates sculpted logos and dimensional signs that translate flat brand graphics into physical, three-dimensional features.
Depending on the design, our signage fabrication can incorporate raised lettering, layered elements, sculpted reliefs, curved surfaces and specialty finishes.
These techniques allow us to reproduce complex brand identities that cannot be achieved with conventional flat signage fabrication alone.
Our sculpted signage projects include detailed brewery emblems, corporate logos and custom brand installations designed for walls, freestanding displays and architectural environments.
Sports Signage & Dimensional Event Branding
TBKD produces custom sports signage for sporting events, promotional environments, sponsor activations and branded installations. Our capabilities include dimensional team logos, sculpted sports emblems, freestanding event signs and specialty branded structures that create a recognizable visual presence.
Sports signage can incorporate layered construction, dimensional lettering, custom finishes and lighting features depending on the intended application. Projects such as the Edmonton Oilers logo and Edmonton Marathon branding demonstrate how flat sports identities can be transformed into distinctive physical signage.
Freestanding Signage
Freestanding sculpted signs provide a way to display event branding without relying on conventional printed banners or wall-mounted graphics.
TBKD fabricates custom dimensional welcome signs with integrated support structures, sculpted lettering and decorative elements. These installations can be positioned at event entrances, registration areas, exhibition floors and promotional spaces.
Custom Event Signage
For Niagara Falls Comic Con and Nickel City Comic Con, we produced large freestanding sculpted logo signs that served as both event identification and recognizable photo opportunities for attendees.
Oversized sculpted event logos fabricated as freestanding welcome signs that also serve as photo opportunities.
Custom Coat of Arms Sign & Architectural Reliefs
Coats of arms, institutional crests and historical emblems often contain intricate details that require more than standard dimensional lettering.
TBKD fabricates custom coat of arms signs and architectural reliefs featuring sculpted symbols, ornamental details, raised lettering and layered compositions.
These elements can be developed as wall-mounted features, decorative architectural signs or integrated components within a larger branded environment.
Our work includes detailed institutional crests and illuminated architectural relief signage, demonstrating how traditional graphic elements can be translated into dimensional installations.

Brewery Signs
Brewery signs and beverage branding often incorporate detailed emblems, distinctive lettering, crests and decorative elements that benefit from dimensional signage fabrication.
TBKD creates custom sculpted brewery signs with raised lettering, layered reliefs and specialty surface finishes designed to reproduce the character of established brand identities.
Sculpted Brand Reliefs
Our Tuborg, Molson and Beck’s projects demonstrate different approaches to dimensional brewery signage fabrication, from sculpted lettering to detailed brand emblems and decorative relief work.
Dimensional brewery emblems can feature raised lettering, sculpted brand details and layered relief construction.
Sculpted Signage Built Around the Installation
Every custom sign has different requirements depending on its size, location, intended lifespan and installation method. A suspended trade show sign requires a different fabrication approach than a freestanding event logo or a permanent architectural relief. We select materials, internal structures, finishes and mounting systems around the actual application. Our signage fabrication capabilities include:
- CNC cutting and dimensional machining
- Foam sculpting and relief fabrication
- Layered and three-dimensional construction
- Custom internal structures and support systems
- Moulding and casting where appropriate
- Scenic painting and specialty finishes
- Metallic, textured and dimensional surface treatments
- Lighting integration and illuminated features
- Freestanding, wall-mounted and suspended configurations
- Modular construction for transportation and installation
For temporary events, lightweight construction and efficient assembly may be priorities. For permanent installations, durability, mounting and long-term appearance become more important. By considering these requirements during fabrication, we create custom sculpted signage that balances appearance with practical installation needs.
Insights / Fabrication Guide
What Is Sculpted Signage?
Sculpted signage uses three-dimensional fabrication techniques to create signs with depth, relief, texture and dimensional form. Unlike conventional flat signs, sculpted signs can incorporate raised lettering, carved details, layered components and fully dimensional shapes. They are particularly suited to complex logos, decorative emblems, specialty brand installations and architectural features.
Can You Reproduce a Detailed Logo or Coat of Arms as a Sculpted Sign?
Yes. Existing artwork can be translated into dimensional layers and sculpted reliefs while preserving important details of the original design. The fabrication approach depends on the complexity of the artwork, intended size, viewing distance and desired finish. Intricate details may require CNC machining, hand sculpting, moulding or a combination of fabrication techniques.
Can Large Dimensional Signs Be Suspended From Trade Show Rigging?
Yes. Custom hanging signs can be designed for overhead installation when the venue and project requirements permit it. Weight, balance, structural support, attachment points and rigging requirements must be considered during the design and fabrication process. The final installation must comply with the venue’s requirements and be reviewed by qualified rigging professionals where required.
Can Sculpted Signs Be Installed Outdoors?
Yes. Outdoor sculpted signage can be fabricated using materials, coatings and mounting methods selected for the intended environment. Weather exposure, temperature changes, UV resistance, wind loading and structural support all influence the fabrication approach. These requirements should be established before production.
Can Sculpted Signage Incorporate Lighting?
Yes. Depending on the design, custom signs can incorporate backlighting, illuminated dimensional elements or lighting effects that emphasize the sign’s depth and shape. Lighting integration requires planning for power, access, mounting and the intended installation environment.
What Materials Are Used for Custom Sculpted Signs?
Material selection depends on the sign’s dimensions, complexity, weight requirements, location and intended lifespan. Fabrication may involve sculpted foam, plastics, wood, composite materials, cast components and internal support structures. Different materials can also be combined within one installation.
Can Freestanding Sculpted Signs Also Function as Photo Opportunities?
Yes. Large dimensional signs can provide recognizable backgrounds or focal points for attendee photography without requiring a dedicated photo booth. For example, our Comic Con welcome signs combine event identification with sculptural branding that visitors can stand beside for photographs.
