Chattanooga’s Ortwein Sign wins 1st place award
Chattanooga’s Ortwein Sign has won first place in the Wall Mounted/Channel Letters category at this year’s Mid-South Sign Association design contest.
Ortwein’s entry this year is a neon lit blade sign custom built for Greg Wyatt’s Vintage Corvette storefront in Summerville, Georgia.
It is Ortwein Sign’s second year in a row winning first place.
Greg Wyatt purchased a historic building for his store in Summerville, and Wyatt was looking for a series of signs that use neon and vintage-inspired designs to fit the look of the historic sign that had adorned the building.
“We love projects like these that let us show off our love for vintage signs,” said Colleen Teal, Ortwein Sign’s president. “Thanks to our many years crafting new signs, and restoring vintage signs, our team has the knowledge to blend those skills together to craft signs like this that look vintage, include real neon made in-house by our team, and still are made to fit modern safety standards.”
Ortwein Sign has been in business since 1923.
