michael dacey/aarn: fringe circle sign [manf]
In the weeks leading up to our winter party, everyone at Fringe put in some long hours to get the space ready and refine the overall feel. A new website by Atedrake and a fresh identity by Michael Dacey of Repeat Press were unveiled at the event, as well as an awesome amount of aesthetic improvements to the space.
I had been wanting to cut some kind of sign for the space on my router, and hadn’t really done anything with wood yet, so I took to opportunity to make some noise. I cut the Fringe logo out of a 24x24-in 3/4-in thick plywood piece that was salvaged from some phase of demolition that occurred at the space prior to the party.
It turned out pretty well, especially for a garbage piece of wood. The whole sign took about an hour to cut, mainly because of the annular pocket region surrounding the “F.” A little paint on the edges and in the circle and then it got slapped onto the inside of the main entrance door at Fringe. Thanks to Peter Reynolds for cutting this sheet to size and mounting it to the door. There’s a shot of this sign getting cut in the amazing promo video that Stebs of Paper Fortress put together.
