Its all in the detail

Intelligent design, engineering excellence,

clever use o revolutionary materials and

smart production processes underpin our

conceptual approach. Its driven by architects

and designers with whom we work in

partnership on the detail that transorms2D ideas into breathtaking 3D reality.

This is state-o-the-art, yet timeless signage

that pushes the boundaries o design and

expectation.

Its about showing the way

A successul sign system will convey the

right inormation, clearly and concisely,

to help people find their way to a specific

location or destination. Visitors to unamiliar

environments rely on our solutions to

direct them to areas easily, particularly or

the visually impaired, and saely, where

emergency escape routes must be indicated

efectively.

Our wayfinding solutions are distinctive, yet

discrete and intuitive enough to allow the

subconscious to recognise and respond to

inormation at a glance.

Its the bigger picture

Our project managers know how to get the

best rom a wayfinding scheme. They work

closely with building owners, architects,

designers and users to define requirements,

determine locations and observe the orm and

unction o a building or landscape to achieve

a scheme that is both coherent and consistent.

They plan meticulously

Once weve identified the bigger picture and

established the appropriate system or the

project, its over to our graphics unit to produce

and present scale drawings and schedules

or pre-production approval and shop-floor

manuacture.

Its about being on brand

Signage is integral to brand identity. It helps

to enorce that strong statement about what

an organisation stands or, how it should be

perceived, what it represents. Corporate signs

welcome and instruct, direct and protect.

Theyre also instrumental in presenting that

vital, positive first impression.

From typeace and colour to style and size,

these are the elements that express an

organisations identity, projecting qualities

such as dynamism, pride, integrity or

proessionalism.

The basis o a successul brand identity

scheme demands three key essentials: a

well-designed graphic image, a solid set

o brand standards and the consistent

application o brand graphics across all areas

o implementation.

Signs are the architectural interpretation

o a brand identity; a thorough appreciation

o graphical treatment and guidelines is

undamental to an efective execution o the

branding process.

Never underestimate the power o a sign to

portray a corporate commitment to quality

and design.

UCL

Renowned or its academic excellence, UCL

(University College London) chose Signbox

to revitalise the signs or its prestigious

Wilkins Building, in the heart o ashionable

Bloomsbury, in avour o a more modern,

sleek system.

Using our Exor-accredited status to tender or

the project, we knew best value would be key

and that time was o the essence, so our bid

ocussed on being cost-efective, compliant

and competent with a high level o

customer service.

Existing internal wayfinding signage haddeveloped piecemeal over time, resulting in a

mixture o signage types, inconsistency and

poor delivery o inormation in some buildings.

A new system with classic styling and

graphics that delivered inormation in a clear

and consistent way was required.

Our Modular Sign System is elegant, robustand flexible and provided UCL with a solution

that was sympathetic to the existing Grade I

listed architecture o the Wilkins Building.

Our innovative use o distinctive materials and

the latest LED technology created a simple,

yet stylish, wayfinding scheme or the 75

acre Croxley Business Park. Here we created

a unique, architectural signage solution that

Parks owner, Greenhill Real Estate Ltd, to

create a landscaped environment that is both

energy-e cient and sustainable.

Duke o York Square, Chelsea, London

The 4.5 hectare, ormer military campus

on the vibrant Kings Road in Chelsea was

inaccessible to the public or over 200 years

and was purchased by the Cadogan Estate

in 1998.

Today, this exquisite public square with itsnatural stonework, clusters o ountain jets,

ambient lighting and works o art that reflect

the Squares remarkable history is now a

ashionable shoppers paradise and home to

the prestigious Saatchi Gallery.

We developed this signage project in two

phases. Phase One comprised the designand manuacture o a stunning range o

external signs along with a series o dynamic,

illuminated display panels or the sites retail

units. We also created 34 double-sided

projecting signs in stainless steel and glass

to add a contemporary look to the boutiques

around the Square.

To intensiy the ambient lighting, we

incorporated bespoke up-down luminaires

into a number o the projecting signs to wash

light onto the Squares brickwork and paved

acades.

signage project ocussed on The Saatchi

Gallery. It was imperative that our signs

accurately reflected the ethos o the Gallery,

which embodies an innovative orum or

contemporary art, presenting work by largely

unseen artists.

We also had to approach this project with a

sympathetic eye; this Grade II listed building

was ormerly the Duke o Yorks headquarters

and called or close collaboration between

our project managers, the architects, Cadogan

Estates and the Gallery. English Heritageoversaw the design o our signage scheme

within the context o this sensitive project.

We introduced branding to the curved

entrance wall through the construction o

five bespoke aluminium monoliths, which we

illuminated internally or dramatic impact with

an energy-e cient LED light source. Outsidethe Gallery, our double-sided banner masts

create an impressive salutation, standing
