FS is larger than life!

The next time you are travelling the 401 about half way between London and  Chatham, you'll most likely notice a very large FS sign along the way.   

This particular FS logo is perched high at the top of one of the grain silos at AGRIS Co-operative's/Great Lakes Grain site in Dutton. Measuring 35 ft wide, it is by far the biggest FS in Ontario. 

This particular facility was considered to be the best location in the province to warrant moving forward with a project of this magnitude. “There is clear visibility to the thousands of travellers each day driving the 401,” says Terry Stevenson, communications manager for AGRIS Co-operative.  

The sign company that was contracted for the job confirmed that painting the FS directly onto the silo provided the best visual impact allowing it to hug the curves of the structure giving it a wider girth and maximizing the distance it can be seen.  The painted sign will also be able to tolerate the affects of wind and other environmental elements more efficiently, therefore extending the life span of the project.

Next time you are in the area, make sure you check it out.
