Sandblasting is a very effective way to create a textured 3-D surface. It is more affordable than a hand-carved sign. When I sandblast wood this will accentuate the grain and this makes an organic looking product. Sandblasted high density sign foam results in a rough pebbly kind of background such as the sign at Palace Restaurant in Santa Fe.
One of Santa Fe's oldest landmark restaurants now has a new logo. This is sandblasted sign foam with cut foam letters.
"a mano" translates to "by hand" in Italian. The sign at this restaurant is sandblasted medex, the hands are painted in oils and letters individually cut and affixed.
Another example of the effectiveness of natural wood grain as a background feature.
