    We installed this today. We usually joke about white letters on a white background, but that’s what this advertising agency wanted. There name is RED…

    Does actually look good, but lighting is critical…………

    Looks good duncan, nice one mate.

    We have our own logo in cream on a cream wall in our reception.
    Was cut in 19mm foamex and painted exact same shade as the wall.

    Thanks for taking the time to post your work.

    Nice work 😀 I signed black matt vinyl on a black car once – www address for a creative type. Tried to talk him out of it but he was most insistent. Produced lettering that was oversized and would have looked horrible if I had did it in a white or yellow. I had to admit that it looked great – very subtle. I have seen the car around town and it looks good in the wet. Maybe an idea for someone in Manchester :lol1:

    I had a customer that wanted a very light grey on white ground. Every sample of grey I could get my hands on was to dark. I suggested using clear vinyl and made a sample for approval and the job was all done in clear.
