Coral Betting

Zebra are currently in the development stage of three Coral Betting shops, manufacturing and installing internally illuminated fascia and projecting signs. Coral are one of many high street names that are converting to illuminating their fascia signage via LED's as opposed to fluorescent lighting. The savings over a fairly short period of time, far out way the initial spend and help towards reducing their carbon footprint, in turn helping to make a greener high street.

In certain cases using a specified LED unit in compliance to the government's Enhanced Capital Allowance Scheme in relation to White Light Emitting Diodes in signage, our clients can qualify to claim tax relief on their investment in the product and this can include transportation to site and some of the direct costs of installation. Clarity on the eligibility of direct costs is available from HMRC.

We recently provided and fitted a large format digitally printed banner for one of Corals developments in Huddersfield. Zebra can normally turn these type of banners around within two-four days, fully digitally printed, hemmed and eyelets, ready for dispatch or install.

EThames Graduate School - Canary Wharf - Internal Graphics

Following on from the successful manufacture and installation of the external signs, Lacayo Wolfe invited us back to Ethames to provide large format wall graphics and door room signs for the internal refurbishment phase of the project.


The lettering colour needed to be very specific matches to pantone colours and was achieved by digitally printing the top colour and drop shadow at the same time and then profile cutting around the total shape of the letters, the cutting had to be very accurate and this was made all the more easy with our newly installed large format print and cut machine.

As you can see, the overall effect is very eye catching!



We also provided door signage to all four floors of the building with bespoke printed inserts for the various room names, digitally printed in a grey/silver finish.

EThames Graduate School - Canary Wharf


Lacayo Wolfe Design Consultants, based in central London, have a long history with the team at Zebra. When external signage was required for a major refurbishment project at the EThames Graduate School, Canary Wharf, Zebra Signs were "the people for the job"
An upmarket quality feel was required for the signage and brushed stainless steel was decided on. A two meter tall monolith sign was created for the main entrance, manufactured by our local group metal & acrylic fabrications company, and the lettering was screen printed on to the surface to provide a durable finish. Further smaller signage, manufactured the same way, were installed around the building.

Market Harborough Building Society - Rebrand



On the strength of our teams previous experience and success with the re-branding of the Derbyshire Building Society over the last few years, Zebra Signs were awarded the contract to replace the existing and dated signage to The Market Harborough Building Society's branches. From the new fresh and simple design, provided by The Message in Derby, our team surveyed, quoted and provided scale drawings for the company to put into planning. After numerous revisions due to stringent planning conditions, the final layouts were agreed and the new signage was manufactured and the fit out finally began.
