Arcade LED backboard with cabochon bulbs lit in alternating red and white

Carnival Sign

Hire from £125.

The carnival sign is a shaped LED backboard in the fairground tradition - a bow-tie silhouette with scalloped edges, a printed artwork face in the circus-billing style, and large cabochon bulbs running all the way around the border. The border lights can be set to 9 programmable colours and 10 pattern sequences, from a steady alternating chase to a full colour rotation.

Seven designs are stocked as standard: Arcade, Hot Dogs, Side Stalls, Candy Floss, Popcorn, Prize Every Time, and Chuckle Tent. If none of those is right for your event, we can produce a custom design to carry a logo, a brand name, or whatever the sign needs to say. The Popcorn sign has gone out for UNiDAYS freshers fair activations in shopping centres, and the Chuckle Tent version goes up fairly regularly at outdoor comedy stages under stretch marquees.

The sign is freestanding on a pole and can be positioned above a stall, behind a stage, or at the entrance to a games area. It works indoors and outdoors.

Custom Design

The sign's shape and LED border stay the same - the face panel is what changes. We can print any design onto the face: a logo, a brand name, a stall identity, or something bespoke for the event. Custom designs work well at exhibition promotion stands and brand activations, and we can work from a logo file or a brief.
