“BLACK TO THE FUTURE”
(KANSAS CITY, KAN. -- February 10, 2005) -- When is a vehicle more than just a vehicle? When it’s transformed and revolutionized by a Foto FX full-color self-adhesive vinyl decal into a “rolling” tribute that pays homage to black history and American pride.
Foto FX, a subsidiary of JMI Signs.Com, is an outdoor signage company founded by Jim and Preston Ellsworth, two African-American brothers from Kansas City. The company makes oversized graphic images and other dynamic and unique advertising products. They specialize in creating customized, affordable, long-lasting products produced on removable vinyl that can adhere to any surface on a car, van, truck or SUV.
This month, Foto FX is unveiling its newest four-color, giant vehicle wrap — which is designed to completely wrap around and cover automobiles. The oversized decal creation is sure to be a best-selling product — especially during Black History Month.
The company’s Black To The Future wrap is a giant vinyl decal featuring famous African Americans. The mobile graphic display uses modern-day technology to illustrate the connection between black America’s past, present and future. The people represented on the “rolling” mobile billboard are icons like Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X, Sidney Poitier, Frederick Douglass, Angela Davis and Jackie Robinson.
Says Jim Ellsworth, the owner and principal designer for Foto FX, “our newest vehicle wrap was created to get black youths excited about their futures by getting them excited about the people and events that altered the course of our history. Also, the wrap will create an opportunity for non-blacks to reflect on black America’s achievements.”
During the first week in February, the first official Black To The Future self-adhesive, vinyl wrap rolled off presses and was installed on a vehicle belonging to Foto FX sales manager, Preston Ellsworth. The vehicle of choice? A 1962 Chevy Bel Air, which is representative of an era when black political power was at an all-time high. The “Black History Car” is available nationwide for showings at community events and celebrations.
Also, during the month of February, Foto FX and JMI Signs.Com are introducing America’s Heroes, a unique patriotic line of personalized window shades for cars and trucks. America’s Heroes feature photographs of military personnel against an American flag backdrop. The window shades are ideal for friends & family who wish to display their pride for loved ones who are away serving our nation.
To take advantage of this unique service, customers from anywhere in the country simply need to provide photos of their military heroes to the website: jmisigns.com in order to have the photos transformed into highly-personalized tributes.
