Our team of experienced signage designers consistently produce fresh and new takes on branding guidelines that delight our clients and the people who use their spaces.
For high-traffic areas, we recommend durable and easy-to-clean materials that can withstand frequent use and wear, while still maintaining an attractive appearance and not dulling easily over time. In leisure centres, gyms, hotels, and schools with swimming pools, we choose specific materials and finishes that are capable of withstanding damage from chemicals.
