    I don’t really do many shop fascias, but here is one I’ve just completed. Thanks to David for some advise with acrylic panel and frame.

    Ali.

    looks good that is different and original doing it on a see through acrylic without a lightbox behind????

    did you vinyl it all, it looks a few hours work?

    funny combination though florist and kids clothing, as anyone elso out there done any strange combination sign requests.

    i was asked to put a turn able arrow on top of a sign written van for a local garage so when the guy wasnt in work, people would know him and his dad were in the house!!!!

    the same guy also rung me a month later to do his mates yacht, when i rung him he wanted me to go out to sea in a dinghy and balance whilst stretching to sign write the boat i now keep well clear of this customer.

    Alistair,

    Well done I really like that, nice fonts and good layout.

    Who ever made that existing sign should be banned from designing/making signs and the shot.

    i agree

    you have a got a lot more flair than the Asda,s trolley collector, who designed and fitted the original.

    Phew!

    I thought you were showing the original as your own work, and was wondering what was to be proud of!!!
    Bet the street was glad to see the new sign go up!
    I really like the effect of the clear acrylic, nice one.

    Thanks for the positive comments.

    Not sure what you mean by clear acrylic panel though.

    SMP made up the panel and the frame for me, the panel is ivory colour. Yeah, you can see slight shadowing through it if you hold it up to the light, but fine when in a frame and installed. I just thought thats how some lighter colours of acrylic are. 😕 🙂

    My mistake, didn’t realise the letters were on stand-offs, looks as though they are sitting on glass! 😳
