Why CHOOSE a Signwriter?
Traditional signwriting is a craft that dates back to the Roman era and many of the techniques used have remained unchanged since Victorian times. With the advent of computer driven design in the 80s, hand painted signs looked set to become a thing of the past, but more recently the world has found a fresh appreciation for the vibrance and beauty of hand lettering.
An increasing number of businesses have begun to recognise the value of signage which reflects uniqueness and quality. With this change in attitudes has come a fresh wave of signwriters all over the world and Scotland is no exception. It is becoming generally accepted that hand painted is far superior to vinyl lettering, it lasts decades, is weatherproof and most importantly, lets customers know that you care about quality.
Cheap vinyl may seem like a wallet friendly option but in reality it’s often a false economy. As the number of painted signs increases, vinyl lettering’s rigid computerised aesthetic is beginning to stand out like a sore thumb. Although a sign writer may produce lettering that appears perfect, there are always slight imperfections and it is this human element that lends a painted sign its character. Something that a computer cannot reproduce.
