B is definitely Burton's. It's a mosaic on the floor near Empress.

F is fred's thing, the dock control for the Marina.

The R was annoying me, as I was sure I'd seen it. I googled for a picture of where I thought it was, and I'm correct, but I won't post it yet, as I'm sure a lot of posters on here will have seen it without realising.
 
Could the V be the smaller sign near Festival House?

Great shout as I nearly posted it looks like an A next to it

I thought it was an A next to it, and thought of Festival House and expected to see it on the large sign. I'm not convinced the smaller sign I've posted is the right age/texture.
