New Sign For Glasgow Business Park

13th June 2011

For a number of years Glasgow Business Park, the city’s premier out of town business location, has been landmarked by the iconic Heavy Horse statue that fronts the M8 motorway and is a familiar sight when first entering the outskirts of the city. When asked to give details of the parks location it was a simple case of identifying the statue of the Heavy Horse and on the whole people were easily able to locate Glasgow Business Park

This icon and the park’s branding have now been further enhanced by a new sign which reflects Glasgow Business Park’s image and reputation as a quality business destination. The stainless steel sign is set onto slate filled gabions and has been positioned to seamlessly merge into the natural contours and landscaping around the horse. The sign is lit via LEDs to create halo illumination and the effect in the evening, as anyone who has driven past will testify, is mesmeric.
