Get ‘em while they’re hot!

This week just keeps kicking @$$ for Underground Signs. We have you new friends to thank for that - and because we love you all so much - we’re offering Underground Signs followers some sweet discounts this month:

The design team over at ONLY NY popped in our studio space at the Brooklyn Navy Yards recently to talk shop and get their custom ONLY subway sign made. We ended up playing with their dog, spilling the beans on how Underground Signs got started, and giving them a tour of our production facilities. Read the full feature here, and learn more about why we love New York City so much. 

In promotion of the ONLY Underground Signs feature, we are offering 15% off any signs purchased. Use code “ONLY” during checkout or mention the offer with phone orders.

Not only do we love New York City-based designers, but we also have a thing for handy craftsmen. That’s why we are such big fans of the Dude Craft community. Thankfully, the founder (Paul) loves us right back and offered us some prime sponsorship this month. You can reap the rewards by also scoring a 15% discount when using the “Dude Craft” coupon code on all online purchases. Support the craft and get a discount, not bad right?

*Please retrieve all coupon code purchases for Underground Signs at www.underground-signs.com

Guess who loves Underground Signs? Niecy Nash from Reno 911 and Clean House! Here she is in Vanderbilt hall of Grand Central Terminal in NYC, hosting Clorox’s Ode to the Commode event. Be sure to check out the NYC Transit Museum gift shop and pick up one of our signs the next time you’re in the Terminal! like / reblog / buy / tweet / stumble / digg

Hello there Underground Signs, thanks for the submission, we remember you!

They say

Underground Signs is the world’s only MTA-licensed fabricator of custom and replica subway signs. Made in Brooklyn, NY with authentic lettering and materials, we aim to bring urban design to your home or office.
Underground Signs combines social media marketing, guerilla-style mobile promotions, Helvetica fandom, and New York-centric blogging to create a unique buzz about what the New York Subway means not only to commuters, but the greater public.

We say, you had us at “Helvetica fandom” (although we are partial to Franklin Gothic).

You can buy us a sign at underground-signs.com. Really, please, buy us a sign.

Who’ll be the first to design and buy a custom TONY subway sign?

That's So NYC: Is There One Thing that Best Represents NYC ?

I was debating with my friend last month about the things that he considered “soo NYC.” He was saying that NYC is best represented by its architecture (keep in mind he’s an architect, so obviously he’s just a bit biased). I, on the other hand could not single out one particular aspect. NYC is…

Underground Signs is so NYC, ya dig?

Thanks to Scott for this lovely write-up and be sure to grab on to those 15% coupon codes this week!
