    Posted by elitesigns on 20 January 2005 at 18:35

    Haven’t posted anything for a while, thought i’d better do, wouldn’t want Rob thinking i’ve retired or been slacking.

    We did these signs towards the end of last year. The letters are mirror faces with opal returns mounted to stainless steel poles, internally illuminated with neon, to illuminate the sides only.

    Nice work

    I have seen this if this is the one in falmouth, it looks fantastic.

    Did you get it all made up yourself or does someone supply for all the quicksilver shops nationwide.

    well spotted, it is the one in Falmouth.

    We manufactured it all in house, the signs used to be made by a French sign co. but its costly with transportation and fitters etc. so they asked if we could make them.

    Well smart Craig 😀 I’d love to be able to do stuff like that, but its way too complicated for me, wouldn’t know where to begin! 😕 Did you get any night time piccys of it, would really like to see those if you did?

    Cheers, Dewi

    Cool, well i guess we all have our skills, just some earn a living from it lol

    This site i have noticed, really shows off real talent, that the major sign publications overlook. Read Sign Directions, they only ever seem 2 mention the big boys, i believe there are signs out there, that compete with them.

    ooops soap box time, sorry guys
