Infocurve Powder Coated with applied graphics

I recently had a brilliant comment from a customer about our Infocurve. “This is a fantastic product for making a big statement - easy to install and great flat surfaces to apply our digital prints”.

Available in lots of different sizes and suitable for up to 4 metres out of the ground. Can also be wall-mounted, suspended and with either single sheet or multiple panels.

Ideal for wayfinding and can be powder coated in any of the BS or RAL range of colours.  Also looks great in a scheme of signs, particularly with its little brother Infocurve Lite.

Let me know if you need any advice or help on any of your wayfinding projects, alternatively you will find some inspiration on our Flickr Gallery.

Just a quick note to let you all know that we have a new person at Signscape - Becci North joined us on 10th May and will be working in the sales office. Bright and bubbly - Becci has a background in customer service, including being the land lady of a well known local hostelry.

Next time you’re on the phone why don’t you say hi!

Post & Panel with one leg

I love this single legged Post & Panel - it just looks so fresh!

It’s great to be creative with our systems, it’s something I get a tremendous buzz out of - coming up with different ways to get your customers message across.  If you have a set of wayfinding to do for a college, hospital, industrial park or retail let us see if we can help you.

We make the metalwork, paint it to any colour you wish and you make the sign look awesome with fantastic graphics

Lectern for wayfinding

I was recently discussing the merits of way finding with another sign-maker. The thrust of my argument was that well positioned signs can not only enhance an area, but help generate business to cash strapped areas. This is particularly relevant in our own area of North Somerset - where huge national supermarkets have opened up, potentially cutting the life blood of from towns/villages.

The town’s business’s have struck back by putting up signs encouraging shoppers to go and use the village and local shops. I’m all for supporting our local shops, but appreciate the big supermarkets make it very easy with free parking and well laid out stores. Villages can prove difficult to park in (often with over zealous parking attendants).

My friend argued that signs should be as big as possible, with the largest text in caps filling the space - a different view point from mine. I believe that the signs can be designed to have empathy with the local surroundings/architecture/heritage and still guide either tourists or shoppers to a given destination. This makes it easy for the visitor to find what they are looking for, but also gives the Local Authorities the opportunity to guide them into other areas of local interest.

The photograph shows a lectern with a map panel and a finger-post system, both systems clearly guiding the visitor to local attractions and key points.

Summer must be on it’s way, I was up at 6.15 am this morning ready to go for a quick 3 mile walk along the beach and be back in time to get my son up for school.  The wind on the seafront was freezing but it was worth it just to enjoy the view of our victorian pier which I thought I would share with you.
