Weird way to install tenant panels

[Texas_Signmaker]

There is this modern, yuppity strip mall near my house where everything has an ultra modern design....Whole Foods, bunch of fancy restaurants that I've never heard of... And they have this tenant panel sign that has ACM hanging on by a bunch of black rubber bungee cords. At first I thought they were banners but I got closer and it's ACM all right. Seems not right (at least to me) that they are not actually fastened to the sign. Didn't know the city would approve such mounting methods. Anyone else see this before? Seems odd. I am not making a sign to go on this tenant panels, just caught my eye and was wondering if this is becoming common.

Never seen that done, maybe that sign shop doesn't know how to use power tools or doesn't own any. Perhaps corporate doesn't want any holes in it. Either way, I would be against that method, what happens when the bungees rot over time? Some modern signs are awesome, but others make me want to punch the person in the face.

Did this sign shop think they could design it in a way that no other sign shop could figure it out so they get all the business?

We have a Zoe's Kitchen here, it's quite good.

Thats why I was there! Salmon kaboobs there are awesome.


Maybe the bungees are some modern "industrial" look or something.

My bet is they're temporary signs until the new ones are finished.

My bet is some designer thought it was a cool concept.

My vote goes to temporary signs. Maybe until they get permanent ones made up or maybe because they think there will be a high turnover rate for the stores and don't want a permanent sign messing up their ultra-modern monument lol

Its just that much easier to change the names of the tofu cafes and oxygen bars as they fail every other month. Its strange how the well off hipsters love the run down poor industrial look filled with expensive stores.

Apparently not... Here is a Google view showing they've been there at least since January.

Maybe they are like some of the others on here where a half-year is normal turn-around time....lol

I believe that is some sort of bird barrier to keep birds from straffing the parking lot and someone got the bright idea to use it for a sign holder. That's Texas for ya. They think BIG down there.

Or, it could be the beginning of Trump's wall.​

Pretty ingenious way to put panels up with logos of different sizes so to maneuver them around to fit. No screw heads to mess with and holes. Installers coming out and putting different size screws and materials. Just unlatch and reapply, real easy. Just a maintenance guy with a ladder. How are the bungee cords attached to the panels?
Wherever Texas gets his Salmon fix he checks out the signage for work. The guy hustles.
I hear there's a new restaurant going in that serves fried salmon skin.

I too thought it was a good way to deal with different sized signs and it doesn't destroy the wooden background with a ton of holes.

I would have gone with matte scotch tape.

The simplicity of it gives it an ultra-modern look, while at the same time being "retro"... taking you back to the old days of your childhood, taping artwork on your bedroom wall.

We have some aggressive, annoying birds.

Yeah, like who doesn't know about them anywhere ?? They made a movie about it, too.

If you were to gun it in that parking lot, how many would you be picking outta your grill? Enough for dinner?

Grackles are the salmon of the skies... you can trust me.
