The owners of the local Tomball business CoPilot knew they needed to increase their visibility in order to attract new clientele. It did not take much market research for them to make the determination that, dollar for dollar, a vehicle wrap was the best way to get the most visibility. With an otherwise nice looking Dodge Ram 1500 (all be it a bit naked), they made their final decision! With the decision made, the search was on for just the right company to work with to make their wants become reality. Enter Monarch Sign & Graphics, known for producing high quality, high impact vehicle wraps. We started with a consultation with one of the co-owners of CoPilot to make sure we fully understood the scope of the project and learn what the expectation of the end result would be. Throughout the design process, nothing was left unchecked. Advertising a couple of their more prominent partners, a. Detailing a few of their featured services, a. Is the company name big enough, a. Does it look like it belongs on a NASCAR track, double a. With the design nicely laid out and approved the next step was production, and to deliver the best you have to start with the best… Using only 3M wrap vinyl and our state of the art HP 360 Latex Printer, we printed all of the graphic images to our clients exacting specification. Following this, the prints were laminated with a 3M UV Protective wrap over-laminate. This helps to protect from scratches during daily use and slows the effect of the sun’s ultraviolet light from...

Recently, we were contacted by the Sam Houston Race Park about one of their signs that was giving them trouble. The sign in question, the gigantic neon sign over the entrance of The Players’ Lounge. Featuring their iconic racing horse, text, and some nice embellishments, only part of the nearly 20-year-old sign was working. The sign was turned off so that its appearance would be consistent, and their search began for a sign company that could solve their dilemma. Every sign company they called gave pretty much the same response: “Neon, oh no, sorry but we do not work on Neon. And we do not know anybody that does…”. After contacting over a dozen sign companies they finally heard ‘Monarch Sign & Graphics, how can I help you?’ ‘Neon, yes we can help with your neon sign, can you tell me a little more about the issue?’ After a short conversation about the non-working sign, we scheduled a time to inspect the sign and do our best to diagnose the problem. SAFETY NOTE: A neon sign runs on between 3,000 and 15,000 volts and 30 to 120 mA. If you are not trained in diagnosing and repair of neon signs, it should not be attempted. The number of amps and volts potentially running through a neon sign are more than sufficient to result in death. Starting by having them turn on the sign briefly to see how the sign was performing, we began a series of testing to isolate the problem. The next step was testing every neon tube in the sign with specialized test equipment to make sure...
