Design
The design behind every sign we make.
Every fascia, wrap and safety pack we produce starts as a design decision — a colour, a typeface, a layout that has to work at fascia scale and business-card scale at once. Our in-house design team handles branding, CAD and planning drawings, and print-ready artwork setup, whether you're starting from a blank page or handing us an existing brand to apply consistently.
Because design sits inside the same team as manufacture, nothing gets proofed that can't actually be built — CAD drawings are checked against real material and fixing constraints before they're signed off.

What we cover
Branding
Logo, colour palette and typography for businesses starting from scratch or refreshing a tired identity.
Logo design
Standalone logo development, built to work as small as a van door and as large as a fascia letter.
CAD / planning drawings
Scaled dimensioned drawings for manufacture and, where needed, planning application submission.
Artwork setup
Taking existing branding and setting it up correctly for signage, vinyl and print production.
Print-ready files
Vector source files, print-ready PDFs and web assets handed over — yours to keep and reuse.
Proofing process
Structured concept and revision rounds so sign-off happens before anything goes to manufacture.

Design FAQs
Do I need an existing logo before you can design my signage?
No — if you don't have a logo yet, we can develop one as part of the branding process before moving into signage design. If you already have a brand, we'll work from your existing guidelines to keep everything consistent across signage, print and digital.
How does the design process fit with the signage manufacture process?
Design and CAD proofing happens after survey and before manufacture — it's step two of our four-step process (Survey, Design/CAD, Manufacture, Install), so design work is grounded in real site measurements from the outset rather than being reworked once manufacture reveals a mismatch.
How much does logo or branding design cost?
It depends on scope — a standalone logo costs less than a fuller brand identity package (logo, colour palette, typography and guidelines), and pricing within each scales with number of concepts and revision rounds. Call us and we'll scope the job properly before quoting.
What's included in a CAD or planning-application drawing?
CAD drawings show accurate scaled dimensions, materials, fixing methods and illumination details for a proposed sign, formatted for both manufacture and, where relevant, submission to a local planning authority as part of an advertisement consent application. Pricing depends on complexity — call us for a quote.
How many design concepts and revisions do I get?
This varies by project scope and is agreed upfront in the quote — typically an initial concept round followed by a defined number of revision rounds. We'd rather get the brief right at the start than churn through unlimited revisions that drift from what actually works for signage.
Can you set up print-ready artwork for signage we've already designed?
Yes — if you've got a logo or design from another designer, we can prepare it as print-ready, manufacture-ready artwork (correct colour profiles, vector formats, bleed and material-specific setup) without needing to redesign it from scratch.
Do you design for print as well as signage?
Yes — business cards, vehicle-matching print collateral, site hoarding graphics and general branded print sit alongside our signage design work, since it's the same brand assets and design team producing both.
What file formats do I get at the end of a design project?
You'll get vector source files (typically AI or EPS) plus print-ready PDFs and web-format assets (PNG/SVG) for your logo and brand assets, so you own usable files for signage, print and digital rather than being locked into working with us for every future use.
Can you rebrand our shop front without changing the actual sign structure?
Often, yes — reskinning an existing fascia or window graphic with new artwork is usually cheaper and faster than a structural sign replacement, and our design team will flag when a reskin will genuinely work versus when the existing structure is too dated or damaged to reuse.
Do you handle planning applications directly with the council?
We produce the CAD and planning-application drawings needed for a submission, but the application itself is submitted by you or your appointed agent to the local planning authority — we're not a planning consultancy, though we're happy to advise on what's likely to need consent.
