Hand painted signs becoming more popular.

Hand painted signs are steadily gaining more popularity. When it comes to signwriting, customers are often seeking the particular ‘look’ of signs painted by brush.

These characteristics usually include: informal fonts, imperfections, matte finish lettering and a generally original look compared to printed lettering.

Here’s an example of the types of services clients are wanting from signwriters when it comes to hand painted signs.

A corporate client wanted hand painted signs for his business. The customer required cultural and team building messages to be easily seen on wall sections by staff and clients as they entered the building. This was an easy fix. Some hand painted wording and simple graphics were hand painted to the walls of the stairwell at their premises in Sydney. The new signs were hand painted by our expert sign writers in durable paint that is easily noticed and long lasting. Prior to doing the work we did an onsite inspection, took measurements and mocked up a new design for sign writing the building. The clients message needed to be easily read and strategically positioned on the wall to maximise the view as you enter and exit the building.

HOW SIGNS ARE CREATED

When we are creating signs we do as much preparation as possible prior to going on site. This includes layouts, measurements, checking OHS obligations and potential issues including communicating with the client. We do this so everything runs like clock work. The wall sign was all hand painted using a brush by our signwriters.

This is easy for our experienced signwriters. Hand painting will always give you the best outcome for a long lasting wall sign. Often the customer prefers the look of a hand painted finish as it becomes and looks like ‘part of the wall’.

THE SIGNWRITING PROCESS

A traditional sign writer hand paints just about anything. The experienced sign writer will know what type of paint is suitable for the type of surface needing the design.  Whether you need a one off sign or lettering in any typeface, anything can be achieved using a professional sign writer trained in brush art.

Mobile Advertising

Shipping containers have irregular walls designed to be very strong as well as light weight. The surface is made from corrugated metal which gives it strength as well as keeping weight down. Shipping containers are often used for advertising, so signage is applied on the sides to advertise products or companies logos may be signwritten. The corrugated surface is not really suitable for ‘stick on’ types of SAV signage.

Whats the solution? Handpainted signwriting! A professional signwriter can reproduce any logo or text on the irregular surface. For example if stickers are used they will distort when applied over the bending panels. A good signwriter will correct this visual distortion so it works for the customer.

Rustic Signwriting

Another example of a sign which can only be done by hand is any distressed or aged looking sign. This typically would look like its old and worn out, but is new and long lasting.

Typical clients wanting rustic signs are owners of cafes, restaurants, warehouses, fashion outlets, event directors, shop fitters or anyone wanting something original and hand done.

Original one off signs

We often have clients wanting something original that’s not a run of the mill sticker or printed sign.
