Education, School and University Signage

Can you manage signage across multiple campuses?

Yes. In most cases we can, but the exact way we would do it depends on the site, material, scale and how long you need it to perform.

This is where a photo is incredibly useful. Send us the location or item you want signed, along with your logo and approximate dimensions, and we can tell you what we would recommend rather than give you a generic answer.

What signage does a school or university typically need?

It depends on the application, and this is one of those questions where seeing the actual site makes the answer much better. We look at visibility, brand, materials, expected life, access and budget before recommending the final solution.

If it were my project, I would start by getting the basics right rather than adding complexity for the sake of it. Send us a photo and the key dimensions and we can talk you through the options in plain English.

Can you work with architects and facilities teams?

Yes. In most cases we can, but the exact way we would do it depends on the site, material, scale and how long you need it to perform.

What information is needed to quote a school signage project?

The best starting point is usually simpler than people expect: send us your logo or brand guidelines, a few clear photos, approximate dimensions, quantity, location and the date you need it by. For vehicles, the make/model and photos help; for buildings, a straight-on site photo is ideal.

Don’t worry if you don’t have perfect artwork or architectural drawings. Send us what you have. Our job is to work out what is missing and ask the right questions before we manufacture anything.

Can you produce building identification and room signs?

Yes. In most cases we can, but the exact way we would do it depends on the site, material, scale and how long you need it to perform.

What should education providers look for in a signage partner?

I would compare more than the final price. Look at what material is actually being specified, how it will be manufactured, who is installing it, what is excluded, the warranty and whether the company has thought about the site rather than simply priced a square metre rate.

A cheaper sign can be good value if it is the right product. It becomes expensive when it is underspecified, hard to maintain, fails early or needs to be remade. We would rather explain why we are recommending something than just tell you it is ‘premium’.

Can you create honour boards and recognition walls?

Yes. In most cases we can, but the exact way we would do it depends on the site, material, scale and how long you need it to perform.

Can you produce school fence banners and event signage?

Yes. In most cases we can, but the exact way we would do it depends on the site, material, scale and how long you need it to perform.

Can you brand sports facilities and gymnasiums?

Yes. This is where having the design, production and installation thinking connected makes a difference. We can work from existing brand guidelines or, if you only have a logo, build the signage direction from there.

My view is that good signage should look like it belongs to the business and the site. We don’t want to force the same construction onto every brand just because it is easy for us to make.
