Here a few carved signs we’ve done over the year. We started in the early 2000’s with a chisel and a hammer. It didn’t take long for us to invest in a hand held electric router ($15 at a garage sale). Fast forward 10 years and now we do most of our carved signs with a 3-axis CNC router. It’s fast, accurate, and we can actually be more creative with it.
First the signs are designed in Adobe Illustrator and then the 3D CAD modeling happens in Vectric Aspire. When the tools paths are created they are sent from the PC to the router and the magic begins.
Our two most common material to carve are Western Red Cedar and High Density Urethane (HDU). Cedar is great when the customer wants to leave some natural wood exposed (clear coated or transparent stain) and HDU is a better choice if the entire sign will be painted. HDU is more stable and less prone to expanding and contracting and checking.

Flat signs and traditional branding still have their place, but businesses that truly capture attention are doing something more. They’re creating immersive environments and custom sculptures that transform ordinary spaces into unforgettable experiences.
At Gibbs Graphics, this is where we thrive.
Sculptures and themed environments go beyond signage. They are three-dimensional, physical expressions of a brand—built to engage, impress, and leave a lasting impression.
This can include:
Instead of just seeing your brand, customers experience it.
A well-designed sculpture or themed space naturally draws attention. It creates curiosity and invites people to engage.
In the age of social media, people love taking photos in unique spaces. A custom-built environment can turn your business into a destination people want to share.
Anyone can print a logo. But when your brand is physically built into an environment, it becomes something far more powerful—memorable and unmistakable.
The longer people stay in your space, the more connected they feel. Themed environments naturally encourage people to slow down, explore, and interact.
We’ve seen sculptures and themed builds make a major difference in:
At Gibbs Graphics, we don’t just design—we build.
