Signage designers in litigation

Idea Center Inc. of Las Vegas sued a rival signage designer, alleging it made false and defamatory statements to hurt its business.

In a Clark County District Court lawsuit, Idea Center, which designs signage using computer graphics and photographic imaging equipment, alleged Creative Surfaces Inc. of Sioux Falls, S.D., sent defamatory electronic mail to Idea Center's clients including Harrah's hotel-casino in Reno and Terrible Herbst.

The suit alleged Creative said Idea Center was going out of business for financial reasons including "insolvency, a lack of credit worthiness, failure to pay debts and to deliver product."

Creative Surfaces declined comment on the allegations.
