Challenges

Bar 1957, operating in the competitive restaurant and bar industry, needed a signage solution that would capture guests’ attention and reinforce the bar’s distinct identity from the moment they entered.
As an indoor focal point, the sign had to complement the venue’s ambiance, withstand the demands of a busy hospitality environment, and reflect the sophistication of the brand through premium materials and design.

Solutions

AFCULTURES designed and fabricated a custom 42-inch metal sign using a steel surface with a matte black finish, ensuring both durability and a modern aesthetic.
The signage featured backlit RGB lighting to create an eye-catching effect, making the brand name stand out even in low-light settings, while omitting additional embellishments to maintain a sleek, contemporary look.

Results

The finished sign serves as a striking centerpiece within Bar 1957, instantly elevating the venue’s atmosphere and brand presence.
Guests are greeted by a bold, illuminated logo that enhances recognition, reinforces brand identity, and creates a memorable first impression for every visitor.
