For this year's Maker Faire, their creative team reached out to SunDance to create a series of custom signs for the two day event. SunDance has been a sponsor of Maker Faire for a number of years, creating signage, printed items and badges for the events.
While there were a large number of traditional large format printed signs, in true Maker fashion, they threw us a curveball. They wanted to create a series of signs that include digital readouts to allow the event to change the sign copy during the event.
Our design team got to work creating a one of a kind masterpiece that incorportated all of the design requirements. After a few revisions, everyone was happy with the design and our production team started creating the sign structure from scratch.

Started in 2006, Maker Faires have popped up all around the globe with parents, students, scientists, and garage tinkerers displaying their wares, exhibiting their inventions and meeting others in their space.
Orlando has hosted a Maker Faire since 2009. Originally coined the Orlando Mini Maker Faire, the Orlando event has outgrown venues over the years, the last of which being the Orlando Science Center.
In its ninth year, the Maker Faire Orlando will be held this weekend, October 21st & 22nd, at the Central Florida Fairgrounds & Expo Halls (4603 W Colonial Dr, Orlando, FL 32808).
