Creative Sign Resources

Creative Sign Resources is proud to have been chosen to spearhead this project. We are honored to help continue supporting Dr. King’s legacy.

Collaborating with Matthews Architectural Products, a renowned Pittsburgh-based company specializing in cast metal plaques and memorials, Creative Sign Resources provided technical drawings of the current plaque assembly along with the licensed images. Skilled artisans at Matthews Architectural Products meticulously hand-sculpted clay bas relief sculptures measuring 4 feet wide by 6 feet high, which served as molds for the metal casting process. Molten bronze, selected for its durability against the elements, was poured into these molds by foundry workers. The castings underwent finishing touches, including a dark infill to enhance contrast and a protective clear coat to slow down natural weathering.
