Hand Painted Signs for Shops, Restaurants, Bars and Pubs

Having clear, effective signage on your shopfront, that is attractive and lets the passer by know what you offer, is arguably the most important aesthetic consideration you can make as a business. A good sign can literally be the difference between commercial success and failure. There are many companies offering signage solutions but few will bring the passion and understanding of a traditional sign writer who has taken on the arduous journey of learning to paint lettering by hand!

Traditional sign writing for shop fronts, bars, pubs is beneficial because it provides a unique and eye-catching way to showcase a business. Hand-painted signs by a traditional signwriter have a personal touch that computer- generated designs or vinyl graphics lack, giving your business a distinctive character and authenticity that cannot be replicated by other methods. They are also more durable and long-lasting than digital signage, making them a great investment for businesses looking to create a timeless and classic appearance. Also, traditional sign writing allows for greater customisation and flexibility in design, a skilled signwriter can work directly with business owners to create designs that reflect the unique personality of the brand.

Hand Painted Window Signs

A great way to grab the attention of the public and make use of the available space outside a shop or business is to have a sign writer hand paint the windows. This is particularly useful as a way of refreshing the image of a business without having to go to the trouble of painting the masonry or sign boards, which may require many coats and significant prep work.

Painted windows can either be varnished for a more permanent display that will last many years, or scraped off with a razorblade in the case of temporary window signs.

The glass lends itself to various effects and is particularly striking when gold leaf is used, creating everything from stunning mirror effects to aged matte finishes.
