Themendous

I've always found myself to be a creative person, able to come up with funny, off the cuff, some times dark comedic scenarios towards the promotion of things in general.  I remember a grammar school contest where we were asked to come up with an ad for Tropicana orange juice (why exactly, I don't know), but I drew a carton of orange juice next to a glass and some school books, and wrote the slogan: "Juice...it's great before a test"  In my opinion it was the better of the submissions but I did not win because "I didn't specify what KIND of test"   I remember thinking "Seriously? ... a test ...  ANY TEST" DUH!    Today, as a business owner in the very demanding field of amusement park and family fun center theming and attractions, I constantly find myself re living my grammar school advertising contest day, in my need to convey our products and services. Maybe I never would have been the great advertising executive I once thought I would be...

By now, it's no secret that we are Google's goto theming company for all their Googleplex lawn sculptures and we are extremely proud to boast that.  So without further ado, Attached is a really cool article written on us by Sign Builder Illustrated .   By the way...

Well,  the reports are snow and a lot of it for our area.  Earlier today, my wife and VP of Operations here at the shop: Dena, made a preventative strike at the forecasted snow by heading out to Home Depot and buying up some rock salt for our ritual "shovel your walk and driveway before you are able to go anywhere" dance.  This dance is well known amongst most neighborhoods.  It usually involves a lot of back breaking, sweating and freezing of the body parts followed by gasps of air and runny noses.  And when the fun is all over...you can bet you'll be too tired to go to work.   Good thing I can do some designing from home, so the day may not be wasted.  But I hope it doesnt come down much.  My van has a problem backing up out of the driveway on snowy days.  Cross your fingers... there is a lot to do at the shop as we are fast approaching major deadlines with our Black light mini golf course construction for Dresden Germany.  Pictur...

While this, our latest install, is now installed, we thought you would like to see a little more about us and how we get around... join us won't you, as we head off to Chicago via the ferry from Weehawken NJ, to NYC, E train into Queens and then try to fool Luc into thinking we missed our stop! All this....Plus a bag of chips...on our next installment!

Our good buddy Luc has graced us with these funny vids making fun of....well...ME. I love it! I hope that it will open the flood gates to other similar videos from other viewers and fans. SO don't be shy, go ahead and submit your own "Gio here, from Custom Creations" videos! Lets see whatcha got!

We just concluded a business development meeting here at the shop. After discussing several fun center related "things", the conclusion was this: "You can't have fun at the Fun Center, if the Fun Center aint FUN" ! Seriously... why would anyone, ANYONE, want to go to a boring fun center? It's not just the video games and rides that give the "fun center" it's meaning, it's the EYE CANDY. It's the THEMING. It's the SIGNAGE. It's the overall first impression you make on your clients and in today's economy, if you fail at making that first impression with a fun center, you will fail at keeping that client for your ROI. Theming helps to create a long lasting memory that is shared amongst friends and family.  It transports you to a virtual land of make believe adding to the center's attractions/rides stand out from the competition and thereby helping to make the fun center FUN. My worst experiences in fun centers hav...
