What makes a good pub sign in terms of long lasting materials and finishes?
Just rediscovered my local after 35 years. I honestly thought it closed. I first went there when first courting SWMBO. Then we moved away and work, kids etc took over. Seems it became a real locals pub, tucked down a remote lane behind an over grown hedge.
Seems they never shut until Covid. Went to the opening night last night then again today. A decent stroll from my house thus ready for a pint when I get there.
It's a REAL pub. Totally authentic and like a time capsule. They don't do food. Used to years ago when the late landlord was renowned for his skills in the kitchen. The family who own it are looking to make a go of it again.
Talking to the landlady ref the faded sign. It really needs renewing. She says over the years they've had a few, done on occasion by local artists. Was even considering offering my daughter's services as she's a dab hand at painting etc.
Wondering what could be done. Maybe the painted rural scene one redone and encapsulated in casting resin? Or the Sun one done as a sandwich of laser cut, powder coated plates? Maybe as a light box with solar power?
