A Landmark Store For Harvey Norman, A Bold Statement
The arrival of Harvey Norman’s flagship store in Merry Hill, Birmingham, marked a major milestone—the globally renowned retailer’s first venture into the UK market. To establish its presence and reinforce its premium brand identity, Blaze Signs was entrusted with delivering standout illuminated signage that would transform the store into a striking landmark, day and night.
Delivering a Powerful First Impression
The exterior signage sets the tone for the entire store experience. Towering, internally illuminated letters mounted on a curved fascia create a commanding presence. Measuring up to 6.85m wide with individual letters nearly 4 meters high, the signage ensures that the store is instantly recognizable from a distance. The smooth, flawless illumination delivers maximum impact, ensuring the Harvey Norman brand stands out in the competitive retail landscape.
By day, the curved fascia interacts with natural light, creating dynamic reflections that enhance visibility. At night, the integrated LED lighting activates, bathing the structure in a sophisticated glow that accentuates the illuminated letters and reinforces the store’s high-end identity.
Illuminated Features Inside and Out
Beyond the exterior, the interior signage continues to deliver a visually engaging customer experience:
‘Lovetech’ Signage: A standout feature in the technology area, with glowing red LED effects that capture attention.
Suspended Illuminated Signage: Precision-crafted ‘Cashier’ and ‘Games HUB’ signs, with laser-cut text and internal LED illumination, add a premium touch.
Branded Lightboxes: Custom-designed lightboxes for Bang & Olufsen, Sony, and Logitech, constructed with opal acrylic faces and energy-efficient LEDs, ensure high visibility and brand consistency throughout the store.
Precision Engineering & Expert Craftsmanship With Harvey Norman
Bringing Harvey Norman’s signage vision to life required technical excellence and meticulous attention to detail:
Advanced Materials: 5mm opal acrylic faces with 125mm stainless steel returns ensure durability and a sleek finish.
Optimized Lighting: High-quality 5000K white LEDs provide uniform, bright illumination without hotspots or light leaks.
Seamless Integration: The curved fascia and illuminated signage were precisely installed to create a cohesive, polished look that blends perfectly with the building’s architecture.
