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.
