It’s been in the news for a while now that high streets up and down the country are suffering from the effects of the recent recession, the decrease in footfall, and the lack of sales. Newspapers are littered with depressing shots of empty shop fronts and headlines scream about the death of the high street.

The Evolution of the High Street with Great Shop Signs Sheffield

But it’s not all bad news, and as professional sign makers in Sheffield, Image Sign Studio is glad to hear it! A recent article in the Daily Telegraph claims that life is returning to Britain’s high streets due to new planning rules that make it easier to convert empty shops into homes. The broadsheet reports that having more homes near and even in the high street help to develop a buzz in the area, and also provide a readymade consumer market on the doorstep.

The Minister for High Streets, Brandon Lewis says: “To attract people in to the high street, we want them to be exciting and vibrant places to eat and drink, spend leisure time and use practical services as well as shop.” And what else do they need? Great Sheffield shop signs of course!

Aluminium Light Box with Powder Coating

The sign was constructed using an aluminium light box which was then powder coated to match the branding of the bar. Aluminium has a standard silver finish, however, it can be powder coated in any colour to match the corporate identity of the business in question. Powder coating is an effective way of colour matching signage to a business’ existing marketing material, branding and colour scheme etc.

The aluminium light box was then fitted with internal LED lighting in white, so that the letters could easily be lit up at night for an eye-catching effect. LED illumination can be achieved on signage such as this by placing the LED lights onto a back tray behind the lettering of the shop sign. LED lights are a great choice for Sheffield signs such as this because they are guaranteed for 50,000 hours and very cheap to run in comparison with conventional tube lighting.

CNC Cut Perspex Lettering for Sheffield Estate Agent Shop Sign

Leave a Reply

Image Sign Studio regularly design and manufacture shop signs for all sorts of businesses all over the area. We were asked to make the shop signs for the Sheffield based independent estates agents Whitehornes, who have recently a acquired a new premises at Banner Cross. They also have a  branch on Chesterfield road.

Whitehornes were looking to create a professional image with their signage that would project the image of quality through their new shop signs. Aluminium back boards in blue were used as a backdrop to the lettering, keeping in line with their branding and creating a flawless surface upon which to mount the letters.

CNC Routered Letters in White Perspex

The letters for the Whitehornes shop sign were cut from white Perspex using our very own, in house CNC routeing machine. This machine allows us to cut complex shapes with perfect accuracy from a wide variety of materials. It really is amazing technology, as it gives an incredibly flawless finish to all types of business signage. The 3kW spindle means it can fly through materials with ease, especially Perspex.

The white Perspex letters were then mounted onto the blue aluminium backboard using studs so that they stand proud, raising them slightly to create a 3D effect. The sign was then illuminated using LED trough lights for maximum impact.

PVC Digitally Printed Banner

We were also asked to produce a banner which has been hung vertically above the shop sign. All our banners come finished with quality hems and eyelets so that they can be hung from buildings and ceilings, and can be securely attached to fences and poles too. This banner is made from PVC which has been digitally printed using UV stable ink in order to prevent fading when exposed to sunlight.

We also fabricated brackets to fit on the side of the building which the printed banner has been attached to using eyelets. Printed banners like this one are great for additional signage as they are very durable and hardwearing. This makes them suitable for outdoor use such as on the outside of buildings like this one.
