Blue Raptor Signs

14/05/2026

Signage is a strange word.
It can mean a sticker on a door.
It can also mean a full branded environment, an exhibition build, a multi-site rollout, or a custom installation that needs proper planning before anyone starts making anything.
We sit much closer to the second one.
Not because we’re too grand for door stickers. Door stickers have their place. Usually on doors.
But the work we’re best at tends to have more moving parts.
Large-format signage, exhibitions, custom installs, rollouts, and projects where someone needs to take the whole thing from idea to installed without making life harder for everyone involved.
That’s the side of Blue Raptor we want to show more of.
The planning, the problem-solving, and the making-it-happen bit.

Showcasing real projects. Sessions for Bridlington Spa

Red glow, textured wall, and the kind of finish that only looks simple once everything has gone right.

This Sessions sign is not the off-the-shelf neon-style stuff you see everywhere.

It was made using 30mm thick LED-lit block acrylic, produced right here in Yorkshire.

That means proper depth, clean edges, a solid built finish, and illumination that feels like part of the space rather than something just stuck on the wall.

Funny how often the best signage does not need much explaining.

It just changes how a place feels.

This is the kind of work we like.

Making ideas feel real.

Thanks for the reaction to our little “we’re getting changed” post.
Turns out the page wasn’t completely forgotten, which is nice.
We’ve been quiet on Facebook, but not quiet everywhere else.

The workshop has been moving, projects have been heading out, and behind the scenes we’ve been giving Blue Raptor a bit of the same treatment we give our best work:
A clearer plan.
A better finish.
A stronger way to show what we actually do.
Over the next few weeks, we’ll be sharing more of the work, the process, and where Blue Raptor is heading.

Nothing too shiny.
Just the real stuf

Continuing the exhibition run.

These adaptable LED lightboxes are heading out ready for Panasonic’s stand at PLASA next week.

A flexible system, a cleaner presence on the show floor, and a much better long-term option than relying on the usual pull-up banner approach.

We’re not giving too much away just yet, but here’s a little look at what’s been coming together behind the scenes.

We’re pleased to be supporting HEY Invest Hull & East Yorkshire with their 72 sqm pavilion for UKREiiF in Leeds.

It is a brilliant project to be involved in, covering everything from project management and sourcing through to the production of stand graphics, fabric walls, counters, flags, window graphics, sponsor areas and more.

We will also be onsite throughout the week to help make sure everything runs smoothly.

As we start bringing Blue Raptor back to life online, this is exactly the kind of work we want to share more of.

Large spaces, lots of moving parts, and a proper team effort behind the scenes.

Looking forward to seeing it all come together.

Bit awkward this.

We’ve been pretty quiet on here.
Not “busy behind the scenes” quiet.
More “did anyone remember the password?” quiet.

But that’s changing.

Blue Raptor Signs has been busy working away on signage, exhibitions, installs, and the sort of projects that don’t always fit neatly into a product list.
And now we’re giving the brand a bit of the same treatment we give our projects: a proper look, a clear plan, and a better finish.

We also wanted to say thank you for all the kind messages and support for our Creative Director, Daniel Abell, who is recovering well after his surgery. It’s meant a lot.

Over the next few weeks we’ll be sharing more of what we actually do, how we do it, and some of the work that’s been happening while this page has been gathering dust.

New look coming together.
Still us. Just less neglected.

Thanks to Blue Thunder Sound we even managed to give it a working chimney Sewerby Hall and Gardens

But my favourite part of the Sewerby Hall and Gardens Winter Woodland project was that they let us design and build an interactive Elf Workshop. It became a bit of a passion project and all the family came into help and so chuffed with how it turned out - weighed a bit though!!

Winter Woodland time at Sewerby Hall and Gardens and they really let us off the rails this year. We made lots of freestanding illuminated signage and an interactive game
