I made these prototype signs for a local beer company in Glasgow, but they never went ahead. Probably because they didn't want to take the risk of new signage technology and also probably because they were more used to dealing with salesmen in suits than engineers in jeans.
Shame really. Their logo was perfect for simple LED signage, and they might have had one of the first persistence of vision (POV) displays in the industry.

I once had several tins of Tennent's Super….. and regretted it!
Was their beer at least any good?
it looks like a simple version of the Telekom logo
Companies can be verry funny about their logo these days… They'll probably have manuals about the line thickness, which pantone colour to use, whether or not it can be allowed to be displayed as dots etc. Tbh I'd prefer it if they were a bit more playful with their branding, particularly when it's as visually strong as tennants T is.course it might also have been the sweatshirt.
Its amazing Clive, you really do need a blue suit to sell anything as IBM so well understands… Apple would have been better off to follow that philosophy that way when they were designing computers against big blue…. Oh… I guess they did ok then.. lol
Hey there ARE people/businesses out there who do take the risk, and use us "sketchy at first" people! XD
that's why you should always get their money first! that's too bad you had some good ideas.
Brilliant Clive. I would love to own any single one of them!
The yellow one I guess some black plexi glass would look really good if they were opposed to the circuitry. I guess the products a varnished salesman would present probably would not be as well engineered dispite being finished produvts and not prototypes.
their loss mate, those signs are awesome
F 'em. T is not the best liver pickle anyway.
Visionaries are more often misunderstood.
Oh well – their loss!
The men in suits have to go back to the men in jeans to get the stuff made!
