The Brief

In 2017 we were asked to refresh their fascia signage ensuring it stayed consistent with their corporate branding.

This involved removing their existing tired fascia signs, refurbishing two of these and installing a brand-new option.

What we did to help

We had a site visit to meet the client and discuss in detail what is required. We will always give our expert opinion on what steps we believe need to be taken to get the desired, and best, outcome.

We carry out various surveys, including structural and installation, and we take a range of measurements. We also take photographs of the area we will be working on so that we can superimpose artwork designs onto the photograph, so the client can get an idea of what the final product will look like.

For this project we advised that using individual lettering would enhance the building’s appearance. We offered a range of sample material options and colour swatches and took them through all possibilities.

When the final decision was made, we superimposed the finished artwork, completed by our in-house designer, onto the photograph of the front of the building. Aylesbury Automation went ahead with this classic look and chose the flat cut acrylic lettering in superior high gloss finish.

The individual letters were expertly installed by our Production Manager, Mark. All individual lettering is attached using rear fixings, which are hidden from view. There are no screws to distract from the design, smooth sheen and rich colour. Due to the cladding on the outside of the building, the letters had to fit into its high and low points, to ensure all letters remain flat and levelled. This is a certainly a skilled craft!

We are very pleased with the result. It was a truly satisfying job from our point of view. Taking away a tired, dated and disjointed sign and replacing it with a clean, eye catching and professional one; enabled us to dramatically improve the whole look and feel of the building.
