In Ice Logos – What options are available?

Important things to consider when choosing a Company to produce your In Ice Logos: Not all Ice Rink Logo Graphics are created equal!

So it is time for you to put in a new sheet of ice for your rink. How do you decide who you should trust to produce your in ice logos?

DDI Signs® has been providing digital in-ice logos and under ice logos for over 30 years. We are not just a printer we actually install ice logos.

There are many sign companies and print brokers that will tell you that they can create ice logos for less than a company that specializes in Ice Logos. Keep in mind that these companies in many cases have not tested the materials or the printing process used to see if they actually work, they are just guessing what materials will work.

We get calls from hockey teams, rinks, and print providers every week because they choose to use so-called “ice rink logo graphics” products printed with untested ink, that failed when installed and want to know what they did wrong.

Only put IceFab by DDI Signs ice rink logo graphics in your rink they have been tested and proven to work. The last thing you need is to have to redo the ice after a failed install.

It is also critical that you use an ice technician that has experience using ice logo products.

Ice Stencils for Hand Painting In Ice Logos and Ice Rink Graphics

Good Solution: Old School Installation Process

Pros: Good for simple logos and lettering.
Cons: Requires the purchase of Ice Paint. Takes a great deal of time depending on how many logos you have to paint and how many colors needed. Requires hand painting skills. Requires ice painting equipment.

In Ice Logo Stencil Process for Making and Installing Logos

Logo file supplied must be an Adobe Illustrator Vector line file .ai or .eps (NOTE: cannot use bitmaps)
An outline of the ice logo is printed on high-quality paper with a grid for alignment.
The ice stencil is perforated with an electronic pounce machine. This burns tiny holes into the paper and creates an outline of the logo.
Larger logos are printed in panels. Panels are taped together for installation.
At the rink, the Ice Stencil is placed in position and lightly tacked down the corners.
Then you take a Pounce Chalk Bag and tap the pattern where the perforations are.
Carefully lift the pattern off and it leaves a chalk outline.
Hand paint the ice logos and graphics.
