Mercury Signs & Display Honored by Fleet Owner Magazine

HOUSTON, TX (July 28, 2003) – Mercury Signs & Display, Ltd. has been honored by Fleet Owner magazine for eye-catching reflective tractor-trailer graphics produced for its client, Houston-based Labrada Nutrition. The project placed seventh out of 5,000 entries in the 2003 Graphics Awards competition for vehicle graphics excellence and was featured in the magazine’s June issue.

“The advanced printing technology and materials now available make it possible to create large-scale, lasting designs for virtually any type of surface, including vehicles, outdoor displays, buildings and high-traffic floor areas,” said Mercury Signs general partner Travis Hoffart.

“This was a good solution because it turns our client’s tractor-trailers into colorful moving billboards, visible day and night, to promote their image to a nationwide audience,” said Bob Burnell, account executive for Mercury Signs, who served as point man for the project.

The Mercury Signs & Display headquarters and manufacturing facility at 12407 Sowden Road has become a Houston landmark for the 16-ft.high, 40-ft. wide image of Mt. Rushmore on the building. Founded in 1959, the company remains locally owned and operated. The company serves a nationwide client base that includes retail chains, construction companies, manufacturers, merchandisers, advertising agencies, restaurants, oil and chemical firms. Mercury Signs is a member of the Screenprinting & Graphic Imaging Association International, a worldwide association for imaging professionals.

Fleet Owner, based in Stamford, CT, has a circulation of 103,000. The magazine is written for executives and top managers who are primarily concerned with the safe, profitable operation of trucks and tractor-trailers used to transport goods or to accomplish various services. Their responsibilities include overall management of vehicles, employees and business operations.
