    Did read something a few months ago in signupdate magazine about an A-board style sign now being used by our lottery.
    They are made from ABS i believe with a weighted base. Kinda look like a weeble toy.

    Can’t find the magazine now and not sure whether they were created especially for them.

    Erm. Did anyone else see the article???? 😳

    Hi Gray, I like the design. Looks really good. Didn’t Steve Broughton show an a sign made out of wood but with a nice frame surround? I think a decorative bit ‘o beading will work wonders.

    Or how about an easel kind of set up with a wooden decorative board showing the sign? I’ve seen this type in various mags that look good.

    Does it go outside their office? how about a nice hanging sign with again a wood decorative border.

    I’d even go a bit cheeky and just put a frame around some sign white and use the good ol sikaflex silastic to bond wood to substrate.

    Good luck

    Lee

    Hi Gray
    The most unusual A board ive seen recently was out side Marks and Spencers I think the panels were 10 mm clear acrylic they may have even been toughen glass, for portability I recently used a sign made by Signwaves it has a base you can fill with sand or water and some discreet wheels so its quite portable its more a practical sign than an upmarket one so it may not be what your looking for.
    have a look at

    to be honest the pictures on there web dont do it justice
    Not the cheapest but a good product and good service

    Hi all

    Signwaves also have the contract to supply all the lottery signs as well. The wobble signs are only manufactured by them. Dont know if I would call them upmarket though. Do catch loads of attention!
