    Completed this today.

    Flat cut silver 5mm from Accent with a gunmetal vinyl ‘outline’ (10mm larger) on a pale grey background.

    Think it really lifts the appearance – and increases the retail value!!

    That’s a great idea that, gives it a permanent shadow which is realistic looking.

    good job mate

    Was a direct copy of the customers ‘logo’ so kerning pretty tight as it was. Agree it could have been a few percent more on those letters – but needs must.
    Yes – in in Brook Street in "The ‘ferry". 10 mins from me – so fine & handy!!

    Looks good dave. Is that on a dibond base? How did you secure it to the fascia?

    Was customers new painted plywood fascia so just standard ‘pop’ fixings & 1" screws.

    Great sunny day too – so applying the shadow was easy, (I had pre-marked the holes on the vinyl at the workshop), then quick 20mins putting the rest of it up.

    I love it. Reminds me of being at the Vatican in Rome where they have painted the shadows on the roofs of the hallways.
