Custom Building Graphics and Signage Transform a Premier Arcade Destination

FASTSIGNS designed, fabricated and installed a complete exterior and interior signage package, including large-format building wraps, illuminated signage, wall graphics and branded displays for Atomic Claw in Treasure Island, Florida.

The Challenge:

Atomic Claw wanted to turn a rundown, plain circular building on a major tourist corridor in Treasure Island, Florida, into a high-energy, mid-century claw machine arcade. Operating across the country without a prior on-site survey, FASTSIGNS® had to design and fabricate a highly intricate, large-scale visual package to breathe life into a unique architectural layout under a strict grand opening deadline.

The Solution:

The team engineered and manufactured the entire comprehensive signage package completely in-house before shipping it cross-country via freight. To completely reface the exterior, a bold, full-building wrap establishes an unforgettable first impression from the highway. To overcome the lack of a pre-survey as they relied on the specs from the client, the FASTSIGNS installation crew adjusted the application with heat and pressure on the fly to seamlessly adhere the large-format graphics to the heavily textured stucco surface.

A retro-themed pylon sign paired with a striped pole attracts incoming traffic, while an elegant, custom-engineered, multi-dimensional marquee sign illuminates the front entrance day and night. Inside, vibrant wall graphics and visuals immerse visitors in a playful environment, extending the brand’s identity seamlessly all the way into the restrooms. Additional signs that carried the brand in and around the space included dimensional lettering, life-size props, menu boards, parking signage and eye-catching container graphics.

The Result:

The completed signage package created a cohesive branded environment that helped attract visitors during the grand opening and established a memorable destination along a major tourist corridor. The owner expressed immense pride and shared that "every element inside and out is quite literally popping. Even 18 months later, I’m still amazed."
