long time no hear. Apologies. We have been working on too many things, so we thought we would compile the last twelve months here for you.

It is a reflection of the enormous amount of work WE had done up till this point. It is also the first time we have looked back. The first quarter of the year was taken upwith a lot of tenders, sign design and specifying for a number of large signing projects. Some we won and some we lost... We also spent time investing in new technology, and more importantly becoming the only sign company to hold all three of the national signageframeworks; ESPO, YPO and NEUPC

welcome to our world

6

The compilations have involved many hours of hard work in different locations around the Country. They are the our personal choices and were not intended for media use. It is as much our clients book as it is ours. It is also something that we feel is long overdue. We hope you agree that the wait was worth it !

“A brief period of rejoicing”

I. decided to write, by hand, comments throughout the book to give the reader an insight of sorts.These comments are not gossip, they are at times informative and at times lightweight nonsense but you have to make your own way through it all.

8

As the title suggests, this is a collection of signing projects taken over a period and that is unique in itself. The book contains all the signsyou'd expect to find (internal, external and illuminated for instance), but also

a lot of out-takes, private and random photos that are previously unseen.

The clients brief was simple, these signs need to look great and last forever....

No pressure then!!!Your brand is one of your most important business assets and WE work with you to make sure your signage meets corporate objectives and the needs of your premises.

“The wrong method with the wrong technique!”Our first attempt was to match the signage to the buildings cladding, but soon discovered Zinc wasn't the most suitable sign making material...

Columbia pictures (Golden Square)

When we started this project the walls were not just blank, they were magnolia... “aaarrgghhh”Now, new bespoke designs cover the dormant wall space, with each meeting room

themed by a movie title... obviously! but the designs and their meanings are fairy subtle.

35

We are increasingly involved with environmental graphics, as our clients’ requirementschange. Any sign company can produce digital wallpaper, but not all can craft bespokedesigns from scratch, unique to clients’ requirements needs.

Theatre Square is the main signage location, with a cluster of six of the larger double-sided signs proposed to respond to the scale of the square.

The signs are sized to be visible above theheads of pedestrians from a distance whilst allowing detail to be presented at close range.

The signs will have twelve interchangeable faces and gentle internal illumination is proposed for the six

faces orientated North. This will illuminate the spaces between the signs whilst minimising light pollution.

The signs are proposed as interior signs, to reduce the impact of the sign on the architecture. The main sign has been scaled to be legible for people walking along Waterside.

As part of this new build project, all the signage incorporated a cut-out section of the

logo. The external monolith sign challenged conventional manufacturing techniques as the

clients vision was to see through the logo section..

the signs for Lee Valley were all manufactured

in-house. The construction method allows for

each face to be interchangeable, future proofing

the signs. Each sign was finished using ‘Durable-One’

anti-graffiti coating throughout.

The lockable noticeboards were also a bespoke design,

with hinged fronts and magnetic back boards.

This sign has a structural sub frame of rolled steel or similar which will be connected to appropriate foundations located below ground level. The nature of the sub frame and foundations of this sign are not detailed on this drawing.

The aluminium frame which surrounds the graphic panels on each side of the sign is 200mm wide and is formed to follow the contour of the graphic panels with 150mm radiused corners as indicated.

In terms of construction, the front and rear of the sign should be identical. Both sides feature graphic panels and depending on how the sign is articulated on a specific site, both sides may be used to communicate to visitors.

The aluminium frame and the 300mm skirt at the base, which is a visual continuation of the frame, have a powder coated paint finish to match : RAL 9006.

The graphic panels on each side of the sign are 5mm aluminium which is laser cut to the required shape and finished smooth on all visible edges.

The central support post of this sign is a 200mm x 100mm standard aluminium extrusion with a 6mm thick wall.

The extruded post can either extend beneath ground level and be concreted in place to create a secure footing for the sign or alternatively, a tight fitting spigot can be concereted in place and the extruded post can be offered over that and then secured in place.

Visible fixings should be avoided.

The aluminium frame which surrounds the hinged panels on each side of the sign is 100mm wide and is formed to follow the contour of the graphic panels with 80mm radiused corners as indicated.

The aluminium frame and the extruded post both have a powder coated paint finish to match : RAL 9006.

The hinged panels on each side of the sign are identical and are 3mm aluminium which is laser cut and backed up with clear acrylic to create a large vision panel.

The hinged panels have a powder coated paint finish to match : RAL 9005 Jet Black.

Both hinged panels are independently lockable to facilitate the changing out of the graphics / notices inside.

When closed, the display panels needs to be sealed against ingress of water and insects and a shadow gap of 3mm should be expressed between the rear face of each panel and the aluminium frame.

Graphics on the hinged panels are applied as cut and/or digitally printed vinyl.

Bangor University (Pontio)

We couldn't wait to install the wayfinding signage and branding to the most spectacular new building that Bangor has seen in decades. Pontio is the home of arts and innovation, so the signage had to reflect the creativity!!! Shaped directional signage following the corporate branding were designed to aid wayfinding around the new building.
