For many signage applications polystyrene is a perfectly suitable material, especially as it is easy to create large 3D shapes. Dependant on what the client is looking for, it can be as simple as cutting a block of polystyrene and painting it. The Gym sign (above) is an example of this. Yes, you can use hardcoating systems but they aren't always necessary. Thanks for your comment.

There must be more to it than just cutting up a block of polystyrene. I had thought that polystyrene was not a very hardy material but to be able to use it for an out door sign is amazing.

AVC Hire were responsible for the lighting at the venue, they did a great job on lighting our signs. It really shows the 3D effect very well. For another view of the signage at the event check out http://bit.ly/4Lu51. The letters for "The Gym" were attached using steel pins and adhesive, the polystyrene letters are very light so it doesn't take much to secure them. Jennifer, thanks for your comment.

I particularly like the TUI logo with the blue backlight. How did they attach the letters in "The Gym" to the wall? Wow, they look very impressive.
