We have decided to base our 3-D lettering from the electric cinema. The electric cinema has a strong history with Birmingham, so there is definitely that traditional feel to the subject, and being Birmingham's oldest cinema, it is also something very unique. We have also decided that the material being used to make the lettering is film reel, as it links with the whole cinema thing, so we wont be recreating the typeface on the electric cinema sign, but it would be nice to see something similar to that effect as it has that good old look. So far, the idea is to just stick the film reel on the paper as a san serif font, or to have it flow continuously from the metal case the film reel is in and make it into a beautiful piece of typography.
