Nice work

[Harry Cleary]

Good stuff there….love the lighting, did you design or just fabricate?

[Robert Lambie]

Some Top Notch work there Colin… very well done.
Particularly like the Templeman fascia / projector… and the Lighting Feature.

thanks for taking the time to post your work mate.

[Peter Dee]

Very good work. The Bengal Cottage is a real transformation.

[Colin Bland]

Thanks for kind comments the lighting feature was the only thing we didn’t design just fabricated and it looked stunning

[Karl Williams]

Nice work mate. 😉

[Ian Johnston]

tasty, very nice 😀

[David Rowland]

if you look in the fourth window on the new bengal, there is a health and safety officer!

[Luke Lansdell]

Good work. Well spotted H&S man….
All the best for 2010.

[John Singh]

really cool

Love the transformation of the Indian Curry House
Looks very up market now

Dave: How do you know he’s a H & S officer? Or are you doing your UFO suppositions? 🙂

[Martin Oxenham]

Very nice work but Bengal Cottage is nice but really looks like a bank. I know thats probably not your fault though. The rest are great.

[Colin Bland]

Thanks for comments Dave – the health and safety man (you look at pictures too closely by the way) was actually the manager of the bookmakers opposite who was not a very nice character my lead fitter is a West indian guy and that idiot was jibing him all day – but my guy kept his cool as usual.

I would probably agree with you Martin that the column clad is not totally in keeping with the restaurant (colour choice was the clients likes the bling)

But we had to do something as leaving the hideous tiling was really not an option.

Great work!
Great signs!

[Robert Lambie]

i love the transformation of the bengal cottage too, makes a great difference. i just feel all the text is a bit too large… i personally would drop it all to about 80-85% of its orginal size.

[Colin Bland]

I agree with you Rob

I normally allow plenty of room for things to breath however the client was really hooked into bigger is better and wouldn’t be swayed and he was paying the money !

It does look better in real life as the sun is giving quite a deep shadow on the picture which doesnt help the cause.

[Martin Cole]

Nice work Colin,

The Templeman Opticians is in our High Street, I passed when the fitters were just starting the job.
I don’t mind you doing work on my manor 🙁 the sign looks stunning, had a look today.

Martin

[Graeme Harrold]

Nothing cluttered, all clean simple and visually stunning work….

[Marcella Ross]

some very inspiring work there! Love the Deluxe one.

[Colin Bland]

Thanks for the positive comments guys

Apologies for treading on your area Martin you should have come and said hallo one of the fitters was me :lol1:

Got that job following another site which was a little bit closer to home and was owned by her nephew similar ideas for the projector etc and modern feel but different colors

Fascia trough lighting was existing.

What material did you use for the cladding on the Bengal Cottage job? How is it fixed to the wall? Was it all cut and profiled on site?

Thanks, Owen
