Apex Signages delivered a complete 3D signage Singapore solution for the newly upgraded Professor Brawn Café at Pathlight School Tampines, Singapore. The project required high-visibility branding, clear wayfinding, and durable backlit signage suitable for both school environments and public-facing café operations.
The installation includes a crest-style logo feature, an 8.16m café façade sign, a 9.6m inclusivity message panel, and a vivid magenta Open to Public sign — all fabricated as LED-integrated cut-out signage.
Project Overview
Pathlight School Singapore engaged Apex Signages to design and fabricate a set of durable, visually striking LED backlit 3D signages for the Professor Brawn Café. The objective was to enhance visibility, communicate inclusivity, and create a professional yet welcoming façade for students, staff and public visitors.
Every signage element was engineered for long-term performance in Singapore’s climate, balancing aesthetics with readability, safety, and energy efficiency.
