Revolutionary Eating Ventures

The newest Eating Venture, a sustainable Taco Boy on Huger Street

I first met Karalee of Revolutionary Eating Ventures through Lowcountry Local First (*plug: Lowcountry Local First advocates the benefits of a local living economy by strengthening community support for independent locally owned businesses and farmers.) Karalee spends tireless hours educating our community and promoting small, locally owned businesses like Limelight Custom Sign Company and supporting lowcountry farmers by purchasing and featuring local produce on their menus. REV owns and manages several popular hotspots like Taco Boy on Folly Beach, Poe’s Tavern on Sullivans Island and Monza and Raval located on King Street in downtown Charleston.

13 oz. limeGREEN Biodegradable Banner Material

Limelight Custom Sign Company has been fortunate to work on several REV projects. We provided REV with two limeGREEN Biodegradable Banners for their recent Charleston Green Fair booth.

Just yesterday, Limelight installed some bold lettering on a once cold and bare cinder block wall. The total installation measures over 18 feet wide and makes a very LARGE impact.  After applied, the lettering was heated to contour against the natural texture of the wall.

Most of the designs came from local talent, HOOK USA We cannot stress enough the importance of budgeting for good design work. HOOK has done an exceptional job of branding all four REV establishments and we are thrilled every time we get to work with a HOOK design.

King Street Kitchen Company, window lettering

543 King Steet, Charleston

Among the chaos of a Hollywood movie set and the final countdown to the 6 o’clock grand opening of King Street Kitchen, LIMELIGHT CUSTOM SIGN COMPANY was running around doing its thing.

I wish I could have taken pictures of the scene as I arrived Thursday morning. I am not sure who was more tense, the Hollywood production assistants trying to control the morning pedestrian traffic or the team at King Street Kitchen Company, trying to produce an eleventh hour miracle.

Just a week prior, I went to go meet with Dylan Gilliam, Design Principal for KSKC, and to measure the windows. I found one small problem, no windows!  I jokingly asked when the Grand Opening was and my jaw dropped to the floor when they said to come back in a week to install the window lettering.  And now, on the morning of the Grand Opening, they are hanging cabinets and fixtures, installing appliances and painting doors and windows.

It was a true testament to the will and professionalism of the King Street Kitchen Company team. It was all business.  I wanted to run back to the car, grab my hand tools and sign up! They were getting it done and the attention to detail, even as the clocked ticked closer, was truly inspiring.

The logo was designed by Ashley Finnemore of Finnemore and Co.. It is always a treat for us to work with good artwork and continually stress to our clients to budget for and utilize Charleston’s diverse and incredibly talented design community.

Please stop by and introduce your self to Dylan, Steve and the rest of the team and welcome the newest resident of the Upper King Street Design District.

High Cotton, boat lettering…

LIMELIGHT CUSTOM SIGN CO. installed the boat lettering for High Cotton in the sweltering heat of July. My birthday, in fact. A Saturday.

Thanks Sara for your assistance, support and understanding

Not very timely, I know. But we passed it the other day, while fishing behind Sullivans Island and it looks so good, I wanted to share a photo
