A very nice looking job, good work mate, whats the fonts used?

[John Gregson]

Nice one Warren, cool sign.

[Harry Cleary]

Looks very classy Warren….just a thought is the I a bit close to the B?

[Warren Beard]

I think it’s just the angle of the picture Harry, looks good straight on. 😉

[Hugh Potter]

i like that :thumbup2:

[Gordon Jones]

what material is the background panels?

I note its not in a panatrim frame so it has nothing to allow it to expand in the sun.

Black is obviously the worst of the colours for expansion.

I fear the background may bow and buckle in the heat, when this happens it generally stays bowed and buckled and may make the letters pop off.

letters look good though :-), even though the "I" is too near the "B", infact all the large letters seem too close, considering the space you have left either side of the wording

[Peter Normington]

I like it Warren, dont worry to much about the kerning, its not as important as the overall look,
back panel looks like composite, so shouldn’t have expansion problems

It looks like a very expensive furniture shop!! Did you do the hanging sign too?

I think it looks very good.

[Warren Beard]

Thanks guys, I didn’t do the back panels and was done buy the customers contact, I did warn him though because they are gloss Foamalux sheets 😮 He is also adding a painted wooden trim around to hide the screws and finish off the edges. All these options were initially discussed but all he wanted me to do were the letters, he still tried to haggle me but at the end of the day all the other "problems" are going to be his and I’m sure he will be back to me to re-do a lot of it in the not too distant future….. hopefully 😛

and yes I did the swing sign as well, he wanted a thick panel swing sign but didn’t want to pay for it 😮 so I offered to throw in an aluminium panel with chrome letters.

As for kerning it is not that bad I don’t think, in hindsight I might have moved the "I" across a touch but only us signmakers might notice 😛

[Gordon Jones]

he will definately be back warren, absolutely crazy what he has done.

it will look corrugated in the summer!!

[Gavin MacMillan]

It’s a real shame he’s messed about with materials but you’ve made a good job of it. He’s got a cracking result for the short term and will hopefully go back to you to make it look that good permanently!
