Riverside Unveils 2018 Rose Parade Float – Event signage revealed

by Leave a Comment

Have you heard about the new Rose Parade Float that will feature the Riverside Mission Inn?  No? Well, I have news for you – the unveiling took place in September and the city long awaits this amazing exhibit.

The Mission Inn Hotel & Spa, has drawn millions of people to Riverside during the past 25 years by hosting the annual Festival of Lights, will take center stage on the city’s 2018 Rose Parade float, as seen in a design unveiled for the first time.

The float is Riverside’s first Rose Parade float in nearly 60 years and symbolizes the strong bond between the city and the historic hotel. The $300,000+ needed to prepare the float and pay for assorted other expenses were raised by the Greater Riverside Chambers of Commerce Foundation. More than 500,000 people visit Riverside each year during the six-week Festival of Lights, including 75,000 at the annual switch-on ceremony the day after Thanksgiving. The preparation for the Festival of Lights is quite an undertaking and begins in the summer months and includes many man hours, event signage, and most of all…lots and lots of lights.

Monster Media had the opportunity to create the event signage for the unveiling event and it turned out spectacular!  

As you can see, the event signage is bold, vibrant and shows off the float image so clearly.  This sign was printed on foam core so it is lightweight and easy to move around and display in various locations. This is just the beginning for The Festival of Lights in 2018!  As the event draws near, more event signage will be displayed around the city.

Don’t live in Riverside?  Not a problem, watch for the Mission Inn float on New Year’s Day and see how beautiful the historic building is.

 

 

Event Signage – Harvest SoCal

by Leave a Comment

SoCal Harvest was an event that featured musical performances from top Christian artists and had a evangelist message by Pastor Greg Laurie at Angel Stadium in Anaheim, California.  This massive event is designed for Christians to invite family members, coworkers, neighbors and friends to come hear a life-changing message of the gospel in a non-threatening, entertaining environment.  The SoCal Harvest Crusade was televised for those who are not able to attend in person and is seen all over the United States.  Harvest has been hosting the crusades for over 25 years and the event size continues to grow.

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to do the event signage for the stage background for this event and it turned out so AWESOME!  

Each one of these panels were hand cut, trimmed and printed to create a multi-level stage background.  The craftmanship and delicate care to create each piece so it would look perfect for the world to see, was our top priority.  Oversized large event signage can make such a huge impact on your event.  Stage presence is what was needed here and this design was eye-catching, with depth and movement.

Whether you are in need of small event signs or large ones, we handle your orders with precision and care to meet your needs.  We look forward to assisting Harvest with their SoCal event again next year.

Eat, Drink, Vegan Beer and Food Festival

by Leave a Comment

This month we have been hard at work producing signage for Eat, Drink, Vegan. Eat, Drink, Vegan is a Vegan Beer and Food festival that took place at the Rose Bowl and Brookside Golf Course in Pasadena on May 27, 2017. They offered unlimited pours of 250+ drinks, over 75 restaurants, a vegan marketplace & more. We produced over 150 food and beverage banners for this event and other types of festival signs as well.


Because of the large number of vendors they had at Eat, Drink, Vegan, many durable festival banners were needed! And of course, grommets were a necessity to ensure easy hanging and durability. They had banners for food vendors, sponsors, drink vendors, marketplace shops, and more. Wow! We did over 200 festival signs for this awesome event.  How crazy is that?


Aside from all the banners we did, we also produced a couple of cheap but durable coroplast signs as well. With all this signage the Eat, Drink, Vegan festival must have been a breeze to navigate through! I hope everyone had a great time at the festival and loved our event signage as well.

Coachella 2017

It’s been weeks since Coachella happened but the impact is still going strong. Everyone is mourning the ending to Coachella despite it being over for weeks now. Don’t worry because here I am to help you cope with your loss of Coachella with more photos of our signage from the event. Through us Coachella is forever!

Welcome/Entrance signage! I’m sure you didn’t even notice that our signage was greeting you every time you entered a new section! The signs did a great job letting guests know additional information about each section. Fun facts were included too! Like did you know the first Coachella was in 1999?! It’s almost been 20 years of Coachella!

Can’t have entrance signs without exit signs! I’m sure you didn’t want to leave the venue but when you did our sign made it easy. Nice, big, and very easy to spot. To create this sign we actually die-cut thank you first and then applied it to the bottom print. It created a nice 3-D, pop up effect on the sign. The entire sign itself has a really unique shape too. It reminds me of old diner signs!

Can’t go to Coachella and not try the food they bring out! The food is a huge part of the Coachella experience. It’s important to know which booth is selling what and where and our signage did a great job at doing so! I actually did a separate post about our food and beverage signage at Coachella because so many fun signs were made.

Directional signage! In my opinion, directional signage is the most important signage at a festival. The venue is 78 acres but including parking and camping locations the venue over 600 acres. With a venue that large, directional signage is a must. Imagine how lost you would be without signs telling you where to go! No need to thank us, don’t worry!

It’s important to know where to go but it’s also necessary to know WHEN to go. Our set time signage was large and in charge! No need to carry around a list of set times with our signage around.

That’s a wrap on this post! Hope all our photos helped to keep your Coachella memories alive. If you have any photos of our signage from Coachella you’d like to share, send it to us! We would love to see them.

Coachella Food and Beverage Signage

Coachella season is finally over! You’ve seen loads of photos that we’ve posted over the past month but we still haven’t shown you everything yet. Our custom festival signage was ALL over the Coachella venue. If you went to Coachella and you didn’t see our signage, were you really there? Today, I’ll be showing you a bunch of photos showcasing the food and beverage signage that we produced for Coachella.


We created multiple of these food and beverage custom medallion event wooden signs. They all followed the same style format: circle shape and circle outline design. However, each wood print was unique with it’s own graphic and text to indicate what they were selling of course! They were all very fun and the color on the wood prints were vibrant and bright. I thought the signs matched the Coachella vibe really well.


Here’s another set of food and beverage menu signs made for Coachella. We made a HUGE number of these signs so you must have seen at least one while purchasing food during Coachella. Each sign had grommets put into them so that it would be easier to display at the venue. Based off these signs, Coachella had a large beverage selection for their attendees!

Hopefully our signage was useful and was appreciated by everyone. We put in tons of hard work and time into them!

Coachella Catch Up

With Coachella Weekend 1 less than 2 weeks away we have been hard at work here at Monster Media! We have been producing sign after sign … after sign. All these prints will be displayed around the Coachella venue for various different uses! So far we have done directional signage such as maps, arrows, etc. but will be doing many other types of signage for the festival as well. Despite being hard at work we haven’t forgotten to take some photos to show you all our progress!

Here are some of the directional signage we had made for the festival. These street signs are made our coroplast signs that you can custom order at Banner4Sale. We made over 40 of these signs so keep an eye out for them to ensure you won’t get lost at the venue!

More directional signage! This huge wood print will guide you towards the festival entrance, camping hub, or camping entrance. You can find custom wood prints like this on Prints on Wood!

Here’s one of my favorite signs we’ve done for the festival so far! I love the vibrant yellow color on this wood print. It will definitely catch your attention at first glance and provide you with a very warm welcome.

Last preview for now! This huge sign will be located at the showers exit of the green path. We have also done other signs for different colored paths but you’ll just have to wait to see those…

For more updates on our Coachella signage stay updated with our social media where we will be posting more photos! Let us know which sign is your favorite and don’t forget to take photos with our signs at Coachella! We would love to see you with them!

Coachella’s New Sound System- Despacio

by Leave a Comment

despaciao-1Coachella is finally here and we’re super stoked. Festival season is nothing but good vibes because of all the music and good company. Coachella consists of a variety of different stages that each have their own unique theme. Despacio, being one of them, is finally making its debut after failing to pull through for a variety of different shows. 2manydjs, also known as Soulwax, and LCD Soundsystem have collaborated for years now and created a project called Despacio . Despacio is a 50,000 watt, 11.5 feet tall speaker system that is set up behind the crowd, so the music is put before the DJ. Doing so, helps the crowd to focus on the music rather than the actual DJ. Despacio will be playing all weekend long and it’ll definitely be worth to watch!Despacio coachella signage

Making a lot of the signage for Coachella, we were able to create a few large wooden signs that displayed Despacio, and the times they are playing. These wood prints are heavy duty and great quality. They will definitely look super rad out there on the campgrounds of Coachella. We also print coroplast signage displaying Dispacio’s set times as well as a legend that displayed icons correlated to the maps to help people navigate themselves around Coachella.
