Tara Signs

Built up letters offer flexibility and endless innovation in style and identity; they can brand a building, or add a statement to an interior.
We can design and manufacture your sign in a huge range of shapes, sizes and materials from stainless steel to aluminium, composite to plastics.

Letters can be presented as flat two dimensional characters, or with return depth to get a fully three dimensional form.

We can illuminate the individual characters with conventional lighting or with modern low voltage LEDs which not only reduces the power consumption but offers very low maintenance.

We have worked with some of the biggest corporate designers to provide signage for some of the worlds leading banks and city corporations.

This complex project required a unique, robust solution and after researching available materials we identified that Lexan Opal would be the most suitable polycarbonate for the letter faces.

Lexan has all the properties required for the job in hand, including strength, a brighter white colour when illuminated and excellent diffusion, eliminating hot spots. It is virtually unbreakable and designed to withstand high winds and weather extremes; making it an ideal solution for this high rise building.

We used cutting edge LED technology to illuminate the letters which were finely balanced and tuned in order to be subtle enough in twilight hours but not too dazzling when viewed in darkness. At the same time we worked closely with authorities following E.U. and British guidelines.

The sign design concept needed to surmount weight restrictions on both installations and final location, all the while maintaining the structural strength to withstand the excessive high level winds and the rigours of the English weather.

Tara Signs is working with FCA (Fiat Chrysler Automobile), a relationship dating back to 1991, rolling out a Corporate Identity programme for Jeep and Alfa Romeo Dealerships, which are part of FCA.

The exterior Jeep and Alfa Romeo dealership will ideally include cladding panels, personalised dealer names, the brand logos, entrance portal, institutional totems, flags and directional signs, all in keeping with the FCA Corporate Brand Identity guidelines.

This dealership has been given a distinct look by creating bespoke rainscreen cladding using specially produced Aluminium Composite Material, Reynobond 55 in Jeep Black, on the entire building before adding the illuminated brand logos.

The rainscreen is renowned for its ability to create a completely flat surface and is increasingly being used on prestigious projects where guaranteed long-term performance and the aesthetics of the building façade are of paramount importance. There is the added advantage of allowing drainage and evaporation as the wall cladding stands off from the surface creating an air gap and prevents the wall air/moisture barrier from getting wet.

The cladding specification drawings are bespoke for each dealership and created by our CAD technicians in the drawing office. There are a few challenges to overcome when designing the ACM cladding; before deciding where the top hat uprights will be situated, the windows and door positions are taken into account as well as ensuring the perfect alignment of the panels
