Shop Front Sign: The drift Bar
The last post with picture was to big, hopefully Rob will delete it for me.
Anyway
Heres our last (ish) large fascia we did.
All made from Brushed Dibond with the `DRIFT` Logo inlaid and internally illuminated. The discs underneath are illuminated as well. The whole sign fits through the doorway and along 3 metres and up the other side like the front.
Materials used.
3 Sheets Dibond
1 Sheet Aurora Frosted Purple Perspex
Lots of L Angle (inside for strength)
About 100 Brushed Dome capsThe font was Carazon which prooved the AXYZ routers capability with fillets and inlays.
Before anyone asks about the post to the left in the piccy, we did not fix that or knock it with the van, honest Guv

Did they catch the van driver that bent the post and scratched down the front of their new sign..? 😆
-
Did you have to scribe the sign to fit? or was it all fabricated at base and fitted with no problems (?)
-
Someone nicked the sign!

Hi all
Thanks for your feedback, and yes the bent post is on the right not left Doh.
The aurora frosted perspex looks amazing. I showed the client a swatch (he wanted a boring blue) and the minute he saw the aurara was sold. However it was a bugger to get hold of. As it is almost a brand new product no one stocks it. So after lots of chasing around a mate at another sign company has been using loads for POS signs, so i `borrowed` some off cuts. I am sure Cox plastics do it.
I will get some shots at night because the aurara really looks good with the inside illumunation.
All was built in house and fitted toghther on site. The was a few problems that i mentoned in a previous post, mainly the scaffold was always in the way (not our scaff).
John, we always bond (using Penloc) L angle inside for strength and it keeps its shape better.
The A Board and windows are not done by us. The client has a friend of a friend who does the window vinyls, the place has been open for two weeks now and still not done.
There is also internal signage (only toilet signs etc) that were made from 5mm clear with black reverse cut vinyl and fixed with Stainless steel dome caps. Look smart. And a 3.5 metre mesh banner going up the stairwell with a sail boat and sunset image.
The last part was a bit of a cheat. He then wanted to add the “High Tide Lounge” and “Low Tide Bar” letters in 2 days. Easy, we cut them from the remainder of the Brushed Dibond, plastic locators and job done. 1.5 hours
all cut glued and fixed up.Gray, the bar is in Palmerston Road, Southsea. You can see it when you come over next. Play up Pompey
Cheers All
Andy
