Case Study: Brushed Stainless Steel Office Sign for R.S. Bruce Metals, Sheffield

Here at Image Sign Studio, we recently had the pleasure of manufacturing the shop sign for R.S. Bruce Metals, whose head quarters are in Sheffield. The Bruce Group encompasses R.S Bruce Metals and Machinery, who pride themselves on playing a key role in the innovation of the techniques used for the removal and recovery of oxidised Platinum Group Metals, from components within working nitric acid plants.

The sign was manufactured for a previously derelict building that R.S. Bruce decided to redevelop into an office block. Because of the condition of the building and the standard to which the company wished to bring the officer block up to, R.S Bruce employed interior designers.  The development was, therefore, completed to a very high standard, creating a fantastic place to work for their staff.

Stainless Steel CNC Cut Letters

Such a fantastic office block obviously needed a great sign to reflect the quality of the business and the services that they provide. Here at Image Sign Studio, we have plenty of experience designing and manufacturing shop signs, industrial signs and signs for office buildings such as this, so we were an obvious choice!

The sign was manufactured using stainless steel cut on a CNC machine, which uses computer software to control the mechanical movement of the machine while it cuts the letters. The letters were then hand fabricated to create a return on the sides of each one, and welded to create a 3D look.

Orange LED Back-Lit 3D Sign

R.S. Bruce chose to have their office sign manufactured from stainless steel with a brushed finish. They chose the brushed stainless steel finish in order to reflect their metal business, creating a link between their branding and the industry that they are a part of.

They also chose to have orange LED lights fitted into the back of the lettering in order to create a halo effect. At night, the orange LED lights created a glow around the stainless steel 3D lettering, looking almost as though there was a fire simmering behind them. The thought process behind this orange light was to represent the idea of a furnace, again a reflection of the metal industry.
