The Peaky Blinders Barbershop in St. Kilda came to Sign and Fitouts seeking a Custom 3D Illuminated Shop Sign that would create an inviting, comfortable environment for their clientele. We decided on a backlit Illuminated 3D Sign that would capture the inimitable spirit of the shop’s namesake.
For this project, we used PVC Foamex, a versatile, rigid material that is easy to cut and shape. We grooved interconnected channels in the back of the sign, where we placed LED lights. Then, we mounted a CNC cut 6 mm black acrylic sign on top of the Foamex. This created a backlit ‘halo’ effect that exudes a gentle warmth.

The Smile Team, a leading dental practise based in Balwyn North, enlisted the services of Sign and Fitouts to create a striking, modern 3D Sign for their clinic.
Upon consultation, we agreed on a backlit 3D Illuminated Sign crafted out of acrylic. To achieve this effect, we used a large piece of opal acrylic to cut and groove the letters. Next, we placed warm white LED strip lights inside the letters. Finally, we overlaid the front of the 3D Letters with another piece of large, black acrylic painted in dark blue branding colour. The final effect exuded a diffuse light that created a warm and welcoming atmosphere for The Smile Team’s clientele.
This job proved to be a challenging one. We didn’t have access to the back of the tiles in the reception area, which is usually necessary to connect the wiring in the back. So the template for drilling the holes had to be very accurate. We perfected the design and set to work! The smallest mistake would have necessitated demolishing the reception wall.
