Backlit sign for Proposition Studios

Backlit sign for Proposition Studios, London

Housed in the former London Electricity Board headquarters, Proposition is a charity that supports artists, creates arts and runs a fantastic events programme.

The building features a large 450 capacity performance space, 3 galleries, cinema room and an arts block for dance, martial arts and gymnastics.

At the start of 2025 the team behind Proposition approached Carousel Lights, asking us to create a large backlit brand sign to hang above the entrance in East London.

Backlit halo sign construction method

The team at Proposition had already worked with a designer to imagine how their logo could look as a sign. They then approached Carousel Lights to work out how that could be interpreted into a backlit halo sign for their location.

Measuring 1.9m x 1.9m, this is a large halo sign and as such, required an internal 50mm box frame for fixing to the exiting site.

A large tray was powdercoated white and onto that was mounted the details to create the Proposition logo – these were produced from opal acrylic and internally illuminated with warm white LEDs to create a warm white backlit halo sign.

The illuminated elements had black partial edge so that as well as producing a stunning backlight, partial edge illumination also emits from the sign.
