Recently we completed a job for a long standing client of ours, Select Windows. They were moving into a new warehouse premises and wanted to transform the existing building, with its mix of grey concrete and extensive paneled glazing, to reflect their fresh, contemporary branding. Together we were able to design a new look for the building that was both unique and cohesive despite the multi-surfaced facade. The over-sized logo and contact details certainly herald the space as the new Select Windows + Doors headquarters.  On the street front, we manufactured an impressive lightbox sign which stands 5 metres tall and commands attention from any vantage point on the street.  For the reception area inside the building, we manufactured and installed a custom acrylic sign with LED halo lighting, which looks amazing against the dark painted brick wall.  Moving into a new office or warehouse premise or updating an existing space? We'd love to chat to you about new signage options that will make an impact and reflect your unique business brand.

A fun day on the brush today, signwriting a brick wall in Leichhardt Sydney. The wall was painted in a semi-gloss acrylic, with bits of old paint flaking off. The logo & lettering was hand painted in flat acrylic using a dry-brush technique to give a distressed look.  
Giant 3D Letters, machine cut, hand finished. For ICARE.
Today we installed some beautiful signage for Hartmann at Macquarie Park. The signage comprised of three elements, including a printed wall graphic showing a prism style design, a 3D sign with LED illumination and a signwritten wall illustration in black  Early April saw completion of the ICARE Newcastle internal illustrations. As well as statements like "Everyone's work is valuable", illustrations of local landmarks were used. These included The Nobbys Beach lighthouse and The Christ Church Cathedral.
If you're interested in seeing "How to sign write a splash window" see the video below... I hope you learn something and get inspired! It's been a busy start to 2016, having completed the signwriting component for ICARE ( previously known as workcover ) at 321 Kent Street in 2015. We are now moving straight onto the Newcastle office with next week seeing new illustrations and narratives to be hand painted onto gyprock walls and columns. The idea is to give ICARE's vision and internal communications a fun and playful feel, to generate collaboration amongst staff.
At Stewart Brown Signs in any given year, we complete signage for approx 200 vehicles, from basic logos through to full graphic wraps. This week reminded me of how simple design principles are all that is needed to execute great signage. Here's an example of just that. Legible, unique and memorable.  A big thank you to Graphic Art Mart and Avery for providing ongoing support and service. This week our team participated in a hands-on training session on vehicle wrapping, with instruction from Avery. There's always some great take home information and some good laughs. I was thumbing through old photos and found this guy. Our old mascot from the 90's. He was hand shaped in polystyrene foam and coated in elastomer, then paint finished in 2-pak.  |
