This was a very exciting project we were involved in for the sign outside a branch of Barefoot Books in Summertown, Oxford.

We were approached by a printing company in Oxford to fabricate a clown’s crown which they had modelled from a piece of sheet metal.

We suggested a box section steel frame with 2mm aluminium sheet riveted to it in the shape of a crown.

Nancy Traversy, co-founder of Barefoot Books, was enthusiastic and commissioned us to fabricate the sign.

Production-to-delivery timeframe was approximately two weeks. The lettering was applied by Carrera Graphics and the crown was then mounted in position.
