Project Description

British Council Illuminated Poster Cases

Making a case for Britain

Custom made illuminated poster cases and large built-up and flat cut stainless steel logos were fabricated and installed at the British Council’s headquarters, near Charing Cross in Central London.

The British Council is a registered charity which builds cultural relations and creates international opportunities for the people of the UK and other countries. The entrance to their building is located at the back of a fairly dark and bare under croft which resulted in visitors not being able to easily locate them or know what they do.

Therefore, to increase their visibility and public awareness, the British Council requested W&Co to design, manufacture and install some illuminated signs and bespoke LED illuminated poster cases.

The signs consisted of large built-up and flat cut stainless steel logos fixed at high level next to the entrance doors. These were accompanied by a series of custom made poster cases with bright and even LED illumination. There were also various fret cut illuminated signage wrapped around several of the under croft’s large concrete columns.

The large custom made poster cases were fitted back-to-back complete with LED accent lighting to the rear edges to give a floating halo effect. The outdoor poster cases have been built to last with toughened glass fascia panels, robust hinged doors and a concealed locking mechanism.

The British Council now has the freedom to change the backlit poster prints quickly and easily for upcoming events and marketing throughout the year. They are extremely pleased with the final result, especially how much it brightens up the outside of the building and makes them get noticed now.
