It's night time and we see a dark shop front. To the left is a sign saying IN THE in small, white capital letters, above the word GODS, also in capitals, which is illuminated with yellow/gold bars along the top half of the letter and light blue leaves creeping up from the bottom. The sign sits on top of a blue interpretation panel

In The Gods
Internally lit acrylic lettering with a shaped backplate. The visual style is inspired by the town’s many theatres and its Opera House.
