    Hi All not been on much due to work load but now getting on top of things
    easy job
    shame they wouldn’t have a new gloss black dibond fascia to the sign but still it looked nice.

    Also big thanks to John Harding and Mark for some large dibond panels they helped me fit
    thanks guys

    Another great job Rich.

    Where did you get the letters and did they come with the template?

    Cheers

    thanks
    the company has their own designer and i was given the file in illustrator. The funny thing is if you look the a is different in the logo on the etch windows and the a is a different shape. I do agree about the lines under the letters and it would look better but the a would need to be narrowed if this make sense
    rich
    this is a photo of their logo and if you see the shape of the A would not allow the lines to line up

    I agree with Nik, Rich.

    but that’s the designers problem, not yours….

    Anyway feel free to recommend any supplier who has done a good job, it’s what the boards are about mate,

    OK Nik, I wont agree in in future, sorry…

    I charge by the minute for them…

    The man on the street will not notice the lines are not justified,

    so it dont matter.

    there you are, disagreed!
