Hello. We have these panels but unfortunately don’t know who supplies them. Does anyone recognize them? We need more and would appreciate help finding a source. We don’t think they were painted, as the lettering is too precise for that. They are also heavy, so probably not particleboard.

Is it about a donkey losing something while running or burglars bringing something in?
Or the group names?
Queen, Black Sabbath, Toto, Led Zeppelin, and ZZ Top are all bands that are still familiar to my generation.

The names were likely applied using pad printing. I suspect these panels were architectural cladding elements from a club and unique pieces salvaged during demolition before the building was torn down. I don’t believe you could order them from any online marketplace like Temu or Shein. Take the panels to a friend with a 3D scanner and printer; AI can then help you create authentic additional band names, and you can become the manufacturer yourself. Whether you’ll profit or lose money on this—I can’t really say. So, “Alexa, search for band names for rock and metal from the 1970s.” What are you planning anyway: organizing over-50 parties?

These are good approaches. However, they are already about 10 years old. To me, they look like production models and are relatively heavy, but yes, they could be an option. This is for an event venue that we are taking over, so we need more identical ones.

Take a look at your local building supply store. To me, it looks like a facing brick that has been decorated with lettering afterward.

To me, these also look like old bricks that have been stylishly painted in colors to match the theme of a bar. Additionally, words have been stenciled on. Honestly, I would never think or assume that these "panels" are actually wall panels, in the technical sense. Just the "w" from the rainbow already shows that someone worked on this individually as a DIY project.

In holiday homes abroad, I have often seen large panels, for example in tile look, in bathrooms, but that does not seem to be the case here.
In the picture from Queen, you can quite clearly see that a notched trowel was used underneath.
