Lightup Logo Sign for Marshall Amplification

Illuminated brand logo sign for Marshall Amplification

Founded by Jim Marshall in 1962 in London, Marshall Amplification is a world-leading British company that designs and manufactures music amplifiers, effects pedals and speaker cabinets.

The team at Marshall approached Carousel Lights and asked us if we could help bring their brand to life as an illuminated logo sign for promotional purposes.

Construction of the Marshall logo sign

The team at Marshall specified that they wanted to create an amp that could be located on stage or in promo photos, with the Marshall logo illuminated on the face of the amp.

After various discussions, and with Marshall being the experts in amp construction and Carousel Lights being experts in lightup logo signs, it was decided that Marshall would free-issue a blank black face with precut holes. We could then locate the illuminated Marshall logo onto the face of the mount and then return to Marshall for them to then locate back onto the front face of one of their amp housings.

Neon Ultra® used for Marshall logo light

Our famous replica neon product, Neon Ultra®, was the ideal product to use for the sign. Being constructed from solid opal acrylic, internally illuminated with high-efficiency LEDs, it’s idea for touring and promotional use – and is often used for Music and Theatre productions where regular rigging and de-rigging is required, such as for Dua Lipa, Donmar Warehouse and Maria and Rosetta.

The logo size was set to 550mm x 141mm and Ice White LEDs were used for the illumination. The LED driver and dimmer were located behind the board to that the brightness level could be set but with all of the working out of view. A bevel face was put on the acrylic and black edging was used for a clean and stylish finish.
