This signboard at Almatti dam in Bagalkot district is India's biggest 3D metal sign.

India's biggest 3D metal sign at Almatti Dam in Karnataka, conceived and executed by Pune-based Bucket Design, has been featured in Limca Book Records 2016.

 Bucket Design, an industrial design studio from Pune, has designed and installed India’s biggest 3D metal sign at Almatti dam for the Karnataka government. Almatti dam is the biggest dam under Krishna Bhagya Jal Nigam Ltd and is named after Lal Bahadur Shastri as he laid the foundation stone for the irrigation project.

 The sign reads “Lal Bahadur Shastry Sagar” in Kannada. This project has become a landmark in north Karnataka region and got featured in the Limca Book of Records recently. The sign is designed in such a way that no support structure is visible from front and all the letters are installed at a height of 70 feet from ground. Complete sign is finished in aluminium to prevent it from damage in different weather conditions. The project got completed in six months.

 “I am a design professional who constantly keeps thinking about products, spaces, colours, patterns,” said Rishikesh Raut, founder and principal designer of Bucket Design.
