The Clark Rubber logo and branding colour is known for its bold mix of primary colours.
Sign and Fitouts were engaged by Clark Rubber in Heidelberg West to create a Custom 3D Shop Front Sign for their Heidelberg West based shop in a busy shopping centre.
As always, when dealing with an established brand, colour matching the original palette to either vinyl colour charts or paint colours can prove to be a challenge. We used the Pantone Matching System (PMS) to recreate the original colours as closely as possible. The final product consisted of various layers of acrylic panels painted different colours and coloured vinyl layered onto one another.
The most challenging part was the solid white aluminium panel cladding on the exterior. We were not able to spray paint inside the shopping centre, nor use a roller painter to change the colour of the aluminium. Our only option was to demolish all of the white cladding and redo it in yellow.

Lily’s Early Learning Centre in Hopper’s Crossing wanted to rejuvenate their brand image and approached Sign and Fitouts to help design, manufacture and install their new 3D Sign.
Problems may arise between landlords and business owners if, after the expiration of the lease, removal of signage causes damage to building structures. In many cases, the cost to fix damage to the fascia can greatly exceed the cost of the signage itself. So it is important to consider both the material for the signage and the method of installation, to ensure less hassles down the line.
Our qualified workshop staff decided to use a CNC router to cut 3D letters from an aluminium composite panel (ACP). Aluminium panels are a 3mm thick, lightweight, sturdy product ideal for use on building exteriors. They can be applied to the building using double-sided tape on aluminium cladding, which ensures a safe and easy removal in the future.

An Italian Restaurant needed a viable sign to attract pedestrians to their restaurant at Southgate Avenue, Southbank, Melbourne.
An Italian Restaurant needed a viable sign to attract pedestrians to their restaurant at Southgate Avenue, Southbank, Melbourne.
The challenge was the fact that no A-frame or A-board sign is allowed at Southgate Avenue. As a professional sign maker in Melbourne with a wide range of signage solutions, Sign & Fitouts came up with a unique yet practical way to turn a bicycle into a mobile signage for the restaurant.
A little engineering and totting up was needed to make sure the bicycle could be used both as a durable, waterproof outdoor sign when parked by the restaurant and otherwise as a normal bicycle safe enough to ride.
The client was impressed by the quality of the end result. In spite of the hard, time-consuming process of shaping a piece of strong aluminium panel to match the body of the bike and then installing the panel onto it then put cut out vinyl on top, the final result was eye-catching and manifested a successful signage solution.
