La Vida Gets a Modern and Classy New Look with Signage by
Your Local Sign Maker
In a busy town centre, your signage needs to work hard all day—and even harder all night. When La Vida in Eastbourne approached Surrey Sign Company, their brief was clear: they wanted a look that was modern, sophisticated, and possessed a “touch of class” that would stand out at any hour.
Here is how we combined architectural materials with smart lighting to redefine their storefront.
The Vision: Sophisticated & Sleek
The team at La Vida wanted a visual representation of their brand’s essence—clean lines, professional finishes, and high visibility. To achieve this, we moved away from standard flat boards and went with a 3-dimensional, structural approach.
The Build: Why Material Choice Matters
1. The Foundation: Bespoke Aluminum Sign Tray
For the base of the sign, we fabricated a robust aluminum sign tray.
- The Benefit: Aluminum is the industry gold standard for a reason. It is lightweight, won’t rust, and provides a sleek, “seamless” box-effect that looks much more premium than a flat panel.
2. The Finish: Powder-Coated Sophistication
We expertly powder-coated the aluminum tray in a contemporary grey finish.
- The Benefit: Unlike standard paint, powder coating is incredibly durable and weather-resistant. This specific grey was chosen to act as a neutral yet stylish backdrop that allows the branding to “pop.”
3. The Branding: High-Contrast Vinyl
We applied the La Vida graphics using premium white vinyl. The crisp white against the sophisticated grey creates a striking contrast, ensuring the sign is perfectly legible from a distance during the day.
The Game Changer: Integrated LED Trough Lighting
To ensure the brand didn’t disappear after the sun went down, we installed a custom LED trough light along the top of the sign tray.
Energy Efficiency: Using the latest LED technology means the sign stays bright all night with minimal energy consumption and a much longer lifespan than traditional bulbs.
Focused Illumination: The trough light casts an even, focused glow across the entire face of the sign.
The Result: A Modern Landmark
By focusing on quality materials and expert installation, we’ve given La Vida a storefront that reflects their premium status. It’s modern, it’s classy, and it’s highly visible 24 hours a day.
