Faux concrete sign made from styrofoam, coated with a 2mm layer of gray limestone acrylic resin mix textured masonry finish. Made for short term outside use at a university campus.


 
The sign measured 3300mm by 450mm by 50mm thick.

The faux concrete sign concept was initially created for use on interior wall logo displays, used by various building and construction companies as well as interior designers and hair salons.

By using the correct glues and resin the signs become suitable for outside use. If we increase the amount of limestone resin coating on the styrofoam, the panels become even more durable and suitable for long term use outside. They would also make a good base panel for painting art panels or for sign writers who are looking for a masonry finish.

We have been working on coating the panels in sandstone, yellow limestone, and gray limestone.

Using the stone resin coating method we have also been producing faux concrete letters for interior free standing office displays and for use for commercial photo shoots.

All letters are custom made to order from styrofoam, coated in a thin layer of pigmented acrylic resin limestone. The letters in the image above were base weighted internally to allow the letters to free stand without rolling off a shelf or desk.

How To Make XPSFoam Letters

XPS foam (extruded polystyrene foam) is a lightweight and durable material that can be easily cut and shaped into various forms, including 3D logos. Here are the basic steps to create 3D logos made from XPS foam:

  1. Design your logo: Start by designing your logo using a vector graphic software such as Adobe Illustrator or CorelDRAW. This step is crucial to ensure that your logo is proportional and the right size.
  2. Print and transfer the design: Once your design is complete, print it out and transfer it onto the XPS foam using a transfer paper or by tracing it using a pen or pencil.
  3. Cut the foam: Using a hot wire foam cutter or a sharp knife, cut out the basic shape of your logo from the XPS foam. Be sure to follow the contours of your design carefully.
  4. Carve the details: Using a carving knife or a Dremel tool, carve the details of your logo into the foam. This step requires patience and a steady hand to achieve a clean and accurate finish.
  5. Sand and smooth the surface: After carving, use sandpaper to smooth the surface of your logo. Start with a coarse grit and gradually work your way up to a finer grit to achieve a smooth finish.
  6. Paint and finish: Once you’re happy with the shape and texture of your logo, you can paint it using acrylic or spray paint. Apply several coats of paint for a smooth and even finish. You can also add a clear coat or varnish to protect your logo from scratches and UV damage.

Overall, creating 3D logos from XPS foam requires some skill and patience, but it can be a rewarding and cost-effective way to showcase your brand or business.
