3D Signs & Fabricated Letters
A flat sign sits on the wall; a dimensional sign stands off it. Raised letters and built-up logos catch light and shadow through the day, give a shopfront real depth from the street, and read as a permanent part of the building rather than something stuck on it.
After dark is where dimensional work earns its keep. Halo-lit letters wash a soft glow onto the wall behind them, keeping your name visible long after closing without the harshness of a lightbox. We build illuminated shop signs and non-illuminated forms in acrylic, metal and timber, fabricated in our Coolum Beach workshop.
From a single raised logo behind a counter to a full set of built-up letters across a fascia, we design, make and install the lot across the Sunshine Coast, Noosa and Maroochydore.
What we make
- Raised acrylic lettersLetters cut from acrylic and fixed to the wall or panel.
- Stand-off lettersLetters mounted on rods off the wall for a floating look.
- Fabricated metal lettersBuilt-up letters in metal for larger or premium signs.
- Illuminated & halo-lit lettersLetters lit from the face or behind.
- Light boxesLit sign boxes, including cut-out logo faces.
- Dimensional logosBuilt-up logos for reception walls and fascias.
Materials and finishes
3D signs are commonly made from acrylic, aluminium composite, stainless or painted steel and timber. Finishes range from gloss and matte paint to metallic and mirror effects.
For outdoor letters we choose materials and fixings to suit the exposure; for illuminated signs, the lighting is planned with the letters so they read evenly.

We're based in Coolum Beach and install right across the Sunshine Coast, from Noosa down through Maroochydore and Mooloolaba. See what we do in Maroochydore, Mooloolaba, Noosa and Coolum Beach.
Questions
Indoor or outdoor — can 3D letters go either?
Yes. Materials and fixings are chosen to suit where they go.
Can 3D letters be lit?
Yes. Face-lit, halo-lit and light box options are covered in our illuminated shop signs guide.
What's the difference between flat-cut and fabricated letters?
Flat-cut letters are cut from a solid sheet; fabricated letters are built up with sides, which suits larger sizes and lighting.
Do you install on site?
Yes — we install what we make, using templates so the letters go up straight and spaced correctly.
Can you match my brand font and colours?
Yes. Send your logo files and brand colours and we'll match them.
