Signs from the Past—
Reliable Oil & Heating
Lewiston, Maine
Around 1966, Neokraft Signs produced one of Maine's most prominent signs of the era. This was by far the most advanced electric sign in existence in Central Maine at the time (and perhaps all of Maine).

Incorporating 1288 11-watt incandescant bulbs (with a combined draw of 119 amps) and classic red neon tubing, the Reliable Oil sign was a significant part of Lewiston's business identity.

The sign was removed around 1984 when the Patry Brothers sold the company to Dead River Oil Company.

Design Protection
for Signs & Plans
Under the US Copyright Act of 1976, copyright protection is given to “pictorial, graphic, and sculptural works”, including “two-dimensional and three-dimensional works of fine, graphic, and applied art, ...technical drawings, diagrams, and models.”

Since plans and specifications for signs fall within this realm, it is important to know how this may affect business decisions.

Signage Spotlight —
Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care
In late 2006, Neokraft Signs was given the challenging installing the primary ID signage for the Harold Alfond Center for Cancer Care, a facility of Maine General Health, in Augusta, Maine.

Harold Alfond, the Dexter Shoe business founder and philanthropist, who donated tens of millions of dollars to colleges, health centers and other nonprofit organizations, passed away in November 2007, at the age 93, while being treated for Cancer.

Fortunately, Mr. Alfond lived long enough to attend the Center's dedication and ribbon cutting ceremonies, in July 2007.

Major signage provided by Neokraft Includes the large freestanding entrance ID sign (right) and primary building identification letters. Capturing the architectural stylings of the facility while comfortably intergrating with the surrounding landscape was the primary goal in designing the signage. Read more...
