  • Fascia: Built-up 3d letters – Prego

    here is something you want see me do much of at all… 😀
    3D Built-up letters!
    i have an existing customer with a few shops… he opened a very nice restaurant about a year ago. when he called to say dont do our sign, shop fitter had included costs by “his own” sign maker for the job.
    fair enough… but then he calls cursing him asking can we do it now, the guys going to be another week and he needs it next day? 😮
    not too much bother as we just use a cnc router to cut the letters, that and he didnt want a backing board because shop fitters had put a wooden one up and painted it. trouble was, he wanted built-up letters for the name “Prego” so off i went, i cut all the letters and returns… then went about bending the perspex and glueing into position. half a mornings work, job done… fitted next day! customer very happy… 😀

    passed it a couple of weeks ago and it looked very drab 😕
    the awning looked soiled and the wooden fascia very dull… i could actually see where they had filled the holes, as a ring of dirt formed…
    oh well… this will teach folk to cut corners?

    anyway… just thought ide show my built-ups. all 5 of them 😀 :lol1: :lol1: :lol1: :lol1:

    Was thinking the same thing as James.
    In any case – it looks good Rob.
