Lettering, Fonts & Logo's

With over 40,000 fonts in our library, 300+ text & background colour options, and high resolution print capabilities we're able to offer a huge range of custom design options.

WHat font will look best?

We've over 44,000 fonts in our ever growing library to enable us to give you the perfect font for your board. Popular font options are Helvetica, OpenSans and Times New Roman. Sans serif fonts (fonts without the little 'tails' on the letters) give a cleaner look and make the board easier to read. Serif fonts (like Times New Roman) give a more traditional look.

If it seems a little overwhelming, be assured our graphic designers expertise is free of charge and we'll always help and advise as much / little as needed.

What colour text should i have?

To ensure maximum legibility you need a contrast between background and text. If you're purchasing a clear board, then you'll need to take into account the wall colour behind the board, else it'll be the background colour of the board itself which needs to be considered. Darker colours often pair well with gold, white, or cream lettering, while lighter colours benefit from black or darker text. Etched / frosted films look great with matt black text.
We offer the largest range of colours with over 300 choices. Please check our honours board gallery to see various examples.

What size lettering is best?

Typically the lettering on our honours boards are around 12 - 15mm in height. This gives a nice lettering height which is readable in most situations. If your board is mounted high up or in a large hall, a larger font size and high-contrast lettering will boost readability. Our graphic designers can take this into account when working with you.

Can you put my club crest or logo on the board?

Absolutely! One of the benefits of choosing us to manufacture your boards is that we've a huge amount of manufacturing equipment in our premises. Printing your logo and integrating it onto your board is very simple.

Club & School Crests / Logos: We can produce your club emblem, school badge, or business logo using digitally printed decals or vector-cut vinyl for a truly unique touch.
Placement & Sizing: Typically these are placed towards the top of the board, either in a central position or in the top corners. Gable and Hill Top honours boards are perfect for positioning a logo at the top of the board as a stand-out feature.
Graphic Designers: We have an in-house art dept who will create a design proof for you. We just need an idea of what you're looking to display on your board.
Tip: Send us your club logo and we'll incorporate it into the design. The higher resolution image the better, but we're good at working with a variety of different file formats.

Frequently Asked Questions

Below you'll find a complete collection of the most commonly asked questions from people, just like you, who are looking to purchase a new acrylic honours board.

FAQ: Cost & Budget

How much does an acrylic honours board cost?

Prices depend on the size of the board, and whether any crests or background films are being applied to the board. Smaller boards start from a few hundred pounds, while larger boards cost more. We’ll always provide a clear, no-obligation quote once we know your requirements.

What is the ordering process?

It's actually very simple. We just need to know what you want on the board (titles, names etc) and whether you need any specific background colours (etched / coloured) or if you need any logos. We can then create a draft design for you along with a quotation.

Do you provide “from” prices or bespoke quotes?

We can provide guide “from” prices, but because every board is made to order it’s best to have a quick chat with us. We’ll confirm an exact quote once we've worked out the design for your board.

FAQ: Design & Customisation

Can we include our school crest or club logo?

Absolutely. We can add crests, logos, or mottos to your board, either in full colour (vinyl) or as a simplified design to suit the layout.

What size honours boards are available?

Boards are made to order, so we’ll size the board to suit the content which needs to be displayed. So in summary, we can make any size honours board you require.

Can we customise the layout (columns, sections, titles)?

Yes. We can set the board out in single or multiple columns, add separate sections for different awards, or create decorative headers for titles. As we make all of the honours board and graphics in house, we have total control over the finished item.

What colours are available?

We've over 300 colours available for both text and backgrounds. Colour samples are available with every order but if you need a specific colour please just let us know. We're here to help.

FAQ: Updates & Care

How do we add new names each year?

We supply pre-cut vinyl lettering, all set out and spaced, ready to apply. There is a short 'How to Apply Honours Board Lettering' on our site which talks you through how easy it is. If you'd prefer, we can fit for you too. For boards that use laser-engraved plaques, we produce new plaques as required along with a spacer template, ensuring they're placed exactly in the right spot.

Can we update the board ourselves?

Yes. If you prefer, we’ll supply the vinyl lettering with application instructions. Many organisations find this easy to do themselves, as well as saving the cost of employing a specialised sign writer.

What happens if we run out of space?

We can somtimes create an extension panel to extend your existing board or, the better option, is to create a second board in the same style so it looks consistent.

How should the board be cleaned?

A light dusting and the occasional wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth is all that’s needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Full details can be found in our Care & Maintenance guide.

How long will an acrylic honours board last?

With proper care, an acrylic honours board will last decades. Many of the boards we’ve produced are still proudly displayed 20+ years later.

FAQ: Installation

Can you install the honours boards for us?

Yes, we offer UK-wide installation. Our installers are experienced, DBS-checked, and trained to work safely in schools and clubs with many holding CSCS, IPAF, PASMA, IoSH qualifcations as needed.

What fixing methods are used?

Acrylic honours boards are usually installed with barrel fixings. Incredibly easy to install yourselves and we're only a phone call away if you need any assistance.

Can the board be moved later?

Yes. Boards can be removed and refitted if you redecorate or move to a different location.

How heavy is an acrylic honours board?

Weight depends on size, but an average board (1.2 x 1.2m) is easily managed by two people.

Do you offer 'supply only' if we want to fit it ourselves?

Yes. We’ll deliver the board with the fixings included. We use either a nationally recognised courier, or we deliver ourselves depending on the distance.
