factory signage: Watson Towers
this is a group of signs i did a wee while back.. just stumbled across the picture and thought ide post it.
all the signs were fitted to an existing frame the customer already had.
the panels are all rynabond, the large sign is black rynabond spray painted blue lines then white spray then vinyl..
the logo is printed using a pc60. the logo is about 28 inch deep then turned at an angle. the largest signs is 20foot x about 35 inches deep.

nice one Rob! 😉
I luv the efect of the White over Blue – then the printed logo…and then the cut vinyl. It gives the piece a foreground and background with emphasis in all the right places!
The two lower signs are also beautfully laid-out…
cheers mate
more soon

sorry folks.. missed the replies on this one..
gray, rynabond is basicaly the same as di-bond. do you get that over in oz?
rynabond is 2 sheets of 1mm alluminium sandwiching 1.5mm of plastic/rubber… very light and strong even full 3m x 1.5m sheets.
the signs were installed from our cherrypicker so the spikes only scored the bucket a bit.. but yes.. dodgy to work over!thanks for the great feedback danny & mike… cheers!
neil, the lines were all done with one can of bright blue auto paint and one can of white auto paint.. straight from the spray cans… & done freehand.
i had something they had on a brochure to give me the idea of what they wanted.. i just had to incorporate it into their sign space.the logo was made in signlab v5 from a scan of a business card, digitised, then the fill applied. then printed and covered in clear vinyl for extra life.
i think you could use the lines easily with your fascia neil.. but i think it maybe a little too heavy a trail.. i think the dotted line is better mate.
joe.. like i said just there mate, its straight from aerosol cans. two off and a thin line of white vinyl.
not hard to apply but the lines have to be sprayed on quickly and no pauses.. start “off” the panel coming on & finishing back “off” the panel. give five mins to dry then apply the white. this time faster.. lol
doing it faster makes sure the lines are fainter and narrower than the blue. leave for 30 mins to dry.
once this is done. you will see a build up of over spray all over the areas outwith the intended, sprayed areas. using a soft dry duster.. rub in circular motion till it rubs away all the over spray.. if any overspray is stubborn, just apply some meths to a cloth and try again. comes away easily. leave 30 mins and dust off the whole sign.. then “apply text” once applied, apply the thin white lines cutting away every time it crosses the letters.job done. 😉
lettering & spraying about 3-4 hours..
printing 1 hour
fitting 1 hour
