Classic Ghost signs by NGS

W5-NGS Ghost signs

Picked up enquiry from Jade Nina Sarkheland and Alex Wrethman of Charlotte’s Group which outlined door logos and 2 Ghost signs for the exterior entrances.

We opted for a soft warm pale grey fitting with the brand theme.

3 coats by hand, painted ghost sign application. Stripped out distress.


INTERIOR

Martin Hopkins painted the lettering for the doors, as crisp as sushi.

EXTERIOR

Tobias Newbigin and I stuck the tower together and set out the lettering to brickwork. First panel cut out and traced through with chalk line – second panel pounced.

We used 3 types of brushes to create the effect, including a fine hog mottler.

Craftmaster matt white.

Paint stripper daubs and wipes.

Outcome – level 3 distress, delighted client and crew, invite to opening.
