    Did this job this week.
    The oval is dibond 9ft x 5ft. (supplied only customer did the fitting for this)

    Windows in Metafrost and white (font not my choice customer is a ‘graphic designer’ 😛 )

    There was also another 10mm acrylic oval 1800 x 600mm inside but forgot to take a pic of that one 😕

    Arrgh"! That’s not the "unspeakable one" (COMIC SANS) I spotted is it!!

    Looks nice – the dibond is pretty striking & etch is quite subtle… maybe would’ve suggested it to him (maybe you did) that it could have more impact running through the middle of the windows.

    For some reason the white text looks like it’s on the outside & the etch on the inside….weird. Good job done though…and nice dodge on the high up fitting!!

    I like the oval, very striking. Well done.

    I actually get on well with the graphic designer that usually sends work to me……….she actually listens to my advice regarding colours & fonts …….so much so that she now only uses the 751 swatches that i gave here & repsol acrylic swatches.
    Makes our life a lot easier.

    oval looks very nice marcella, thats a digi print yeh?

    i would maybe have used a solid colour for top band as the white does bounce out at you next to the etch… maybe just in picture though.
    not keen on font, its just one of those ones for me 😕

    thanks for taking the time to post your work. 😀

    that would have been the very kind Mr Andrew Boyle 😀 Thanks Andrew!

    Dave – no it’s not Comic Sans …. dunno what it is, it’s really weird, he sent the text to me as a graphics so I’ve no idea what the font he used was. I looks like the way text looks when you’re drunk!!!! Out of focus looking!
    the customer was very indignant about the etch, would have looked fine on it’s on but the white text draws your eye away from it. The etch casts a great shadow right across the showroom floor.

    Good stuff M. The oval sign looks especially posh.
