Even though I'm against any repros of vintage signs... These Look really nice.. I am sure glad you guys are marking them as repops though... I might just get on for the patio...I'd hate to put my original out there....

They were placed anywhere Coke would let them... Wanted to do a different size and shape.
Funny I hated repro stuff too... then when the real things went out of sight (even when they're in
a grade 5- condition) I decided since I do art why not try to do some nice, DATED signs that guys that like them can hang up and display and not worry when the kids draw on them or scratch them...
I have a few mint/near mint originals that I never display because of that...
Looking to do a large (18X30) Pause Drink Coca-Cola Next with the sunburst behind the bottle.
We did a thinner one of that but I think I like these larger signs better...

I don't mind them as long as they are dated and the sizes are not even close to the originals. The one above for example is 37" tall, where the originals are 54".

I like that sign even though I also hate the idea of reproduction signs. It looks so exact.I am interested how does one go about making a sign like this?? Don't worry I'm not going to start making them in my garage but I have always wondered how signs like these (real and repro) are made. Especailly the painting on metal of the different letters and objects. How does it happen??

Dated meaning the date/year is stamped on there somewhere so nobody can pass them off an as original ? |

Yeah... they're dated twice really....WE-06 and ©2006 The Coca-Cola Company, All Rights Reserved. Limited Run of 1000
all along the bottom..
The real signs are made of steal and not embossed... these are made of heavy gauge aluminum so they won't rust,are sturdy, the bottle and fishtail shape is embossed so they can easily be identified as reproductions if someone tries to scratch off the dates. And are smaller (too $$$ to make as
big as originals)
Signs today actually use a thick ink process that is baked on.... no one uses paint anymore
(environment stuff... we have looked and looked but if anyone knows of a place let me know.)
The last few signs we've had made have been up in Ohio.... They coat them with a plastic film
and their quality has been the best... We're getting better.
I do all the art on my little PC here at home in a program called Freehand
Which is the same program I'm working on decals (hopefuly this fall for all of us)
It is all spot color like the old time signs not 4 color process where you see millions of little dots
like on the cheap smaller signs....
I'll try and pick up working on the decals again this fall and do some caps and maybe some
square logo type areas for the square top machines

How do you get around licensing fees to Coca Cola for using their trademark? Or do you not worry about that because of the limited run of signs? I personally could care less about such things, but I'm just curious.
EDIT: It looks like you are authorized. Does Coke have to approve every sign you make? $35 seems inexpensive for all the work I'm sure you put in.

We're licensed... Don't mess with Coca-Cola or any other company. There was a guy who was
making Dr Pepper thermometer and push bars... thought he was clear due to the sign company
having a license ... they didn't.... he didn't.....he got sued!
Pay the fees...

Gotta watch out for the Coca-cola police. They do follow up on copyright stuff.
