WINDOW FROSTING – SIGNS, GLASS DECAL, WALL STICKER AND WINDOW FROSTING IN SYDNEY

BASWARE OFFICE BRANDING

Walls that talk

Much like when a tattoo artist sees inkless skin, or a painter sees a blank canvas – as a signage company, we do not like blank office walls. Those walls need to have signs or graphics on them, and quickly! To walk through a branded office, allows you to enjoy that feeling of completeness. It’s welcoming to your visitors and imbues the space with a dynamic and vitality that helps everyone be more productive.

Office Wall Signs and Graphics

The question is: what is the best way to add a dynamic feel to your office without overstimulating? How do you get the balance right of augmenting the space, just sufficiently to inspire, but not so much that it ends up being a distraction? Incorporating professionally designed office wall graphics is always a good starting point. The bonus is that you always have the option of those office wall graphics carrying your brand. A professional team designing your office graphics understands that less is more, and appreciates what it takes to be engaging without overwhelming. And having been called in on projects to correct the poor work of less experienced designers, we have seen first hand the way that incorrect office graphic choice is jarring to the eye and draining on personnel.

With the assistance of the professional team designing your office graphics, a clear message will be conveyed to all staff and visitors, highlighting the good corporate culture and exceptional integrity within your walls. A good example is a project we completed for Basware. The thoughtful design and skilled installation resulted in stunning geometry, seamlessly flowing from glass panels to walls, and further extending to glass doors.

Window Privacy film and more

This type of quality and precision impresses all, as it tells the story of your company’s integrity. The colours are in line with the client’s corporate branding: understated while making an impression. In our line of work, it is hard to pick a favourite medium we work with, but we can’t overstate just how much we love our clients asking us to include window privacy film with a corporate branding print. And while it provides an added layer of protection from disturbance and interruption in a busy office space, we see it as an unsung hero, discreetly contributing to smooth day-to-day operations and productivity.

The Basware project also provided us with the opportunity to contribute to the current modern trend of assigning Sydney suburbs to office meeting room signs. In this case: Bondi, Manly and Coogee. Always remember that wall logos with added wall graphic elements are forming wall signage that speaks to your conscious and subconscious mind. And bearing that in mind can only help you appreciate how important it is to get it right. And if you want to get it right, please contact Sydney Sign Portal to assist with your project.

The Sophistication of Frosted Signage

One of the objectives we have is to effectively convey the appealing qualities and attributes of the varying products that we offer. And this piece is to help you better appreciate the range of special features of frosted signage.

The translucency of the medium confers a sense of refinement.

There is an appreciable delicacy to its cut out lines. A frosted logo is imbued with fineness.

There is a purity to the presentation of a frosted sign.

If you’re looking for cleanliness – then frosted branding is your solution.

There is an overall neatness in the performance of frosted signage.

Frosted signage delivers clarity to the background.

Frosting also emphasises the precision of the cut.

And all of this is delivered through the hard work of our team in the background, creating an elegant finished product that is a thing of beauty.

And this window frosting we completed for Inlight Psychology is a perfect example.

UNICEF Office graphics and signage.

With a relationship that now spans a number of years, UNICEF has become part of the Sydney Signs Portal family. But it is still an incredible honour to be contacted by UNICEF to work on yet another ambitious signage and graphics project.

The simple brief of producing and installing graphics and signage in their new office, barely tells the story of the insight we enjoyed into the valuable work they are doing. The precision of laser cut 3D acrylic signage, welcomes you to an office whose walls and pillars are effectively a gallery of good deeds.

The multiple wall murals and poster style wall decals display photos that capture moments from remote Australian communities, to Bangladesh, Cambodia, Zimbabwe, Mongolia, and Syria. Photographic moments, that represent, the reach and commitment that UNICEF has to uplift the lives of others.

Installing wall graphics on pillars that display UNICEF’s efforts around the world, perfectly symbolises the pillar of support that UNICEF is in our global community.

Installing caption signs made from foamed PVC material with digital print below the wall graphics allow anyone viewing them to better appreciate the stories behind them and deepen their understanding of the struggles faced in these communities and nations.

Further adding to the thoughtfulness of this installation, graphics were installed on the lockers incorporating the global goals of the organisation, and window decals were used to name rooms in accordance with UNICEF’s values.

To ensure the privacy of meeting rooms, window frosting was installed. window-frosting-unicef-2020-sydney

It really is quite special to work with an organisation with a towering reputation on the international humanitarian stage. We take great pride in the fact that UNICEF entrusts Sydney Signs Portal to deliver work to the high standards they require. We extend our sincere support for their efforts moving forward.

Branded Window Frosting – Stylish Office Privacy

An enduring strength of the products and services that we offer is that quite often a simple variation on a classic theme can deliver impressive outcomes.

One such impressive outcome is adding a branded cut out design to traditional office window frosting – which, in a cost-effective manner, adds a stylish sophistication to a workspace.

This simple solution allows you to avoid the ordinary while being informative. It is the perfect blend of privacy and thoughtfulness, as you are left with a premier example of discrete and reasonable branding.

This type of office signage also has the benefit of scalability. Conditional upon the needs of your company, we can do subtle cuts, or floor-to-ceiling cutout logos.

With the type of smart design approach we pride ourselves on here at Sydney Signs Portal, you too can experience an inspired office life, thanks to the elevated aesthetic this stylish product delivers.

Akamai Project

This project was a fantastic opportunity for Sydney Signs Portal to showcase the range of our favourite products, as well as the versatility of our team in applying varying media to solutions commonly sought by our clientele. This included: 3D reception signage, office wall graphics, window frosting with computer cut design, logo signs for glass doors (vinyl decals), acrylic panels, office room name signage.

On this occasion the 3D reception signage was bolstered with extra volume – giving it added impact. It was custom painted in the company colours.

The window frosting at the entrance utilised a barcode design. This curious approach imbues the space with a sense of creativity, while also reflecting the company’s digital enterprise.

Some exquisite detail accompanied the room name signs. Stunning digital graphics of Australian native plans adorned the timber doors – a lovely touch.

Monochrome wall graphics with cartoonish drawn Sydney cityscapes were an impressive feature installed in several large office areas. These spectacular wall graphics invite your mind and creativity to flow beyond the walls of your workspace.

Manly Health Centre Project – The Forgotten Art of Simplicity

When you are part of a team that is blessed with innovative skill, it is often tempting to mine that rich vein of creative talent for all the projects you are presented with. But there are times when it is important to remind oneself that we don’t always need to reinvent the wheel.

And such was the case when Manly Health Centre reached out to us to design and install a large 3D sign for their reception wall. This was an opportunity for us to call upon classic business signage aesthetic: minimalist in approach without distractions.

The white acrylic lettering against the dark-grey wall offers perfect contrast. A crisp, clearly-defined announcement that conveys certainty and reassurance.

And the large 3D letters carry weight and imbue the setting with a sense of importance.

This type of business signage is a great example of effectiveness through simplicity.

The other component of this project was window frosting.

There are few places where privacy is of greater importance than a visit to the doctor. So this project would see Sydney Signs Portal installing classic quality privacy window frosting throughout the entire clinic.

We utilised a combination of fully frosted and partially-frosted techniques – depending on the client’s requirements for each space.

Fully-frosted glass provides 100% privacy, while still allowing the luxury of 95% of daylight to pass through. Partial frosting can protect certain rooms from unwanted eyes, or limit distractions while ensuring the space remains non-claustrophobic.

And, at the end of the day, all of these elements combine perfectly when installed to the high professional standards that are the trademark of Sydney Signs Portal.

Maximising workspace functionality with custom whiteboards

Gone are the days of an office whiteboard being a cumbersome, intrusive, fixed-size addition to your office. An evolution has taken place, where custom sizing, functionality and seamless inclusion are all now possible.

We love nothing more than seeing a workspace transformed in a way that takes advantage of a product’s potential. And such was the case when engineering and construction powerhouse, Bechtel, reached out to us to realise their vision of a workspace whiteboard Utopia.

Within open office spaces, meeting rooms, enclosed offices, boardrooms and storerooms – whiteboard that extended from knee height to well above head height, spanning 50 metres in length was installed. The largest single whiteboard was 7 metres in length, installed in an open office area.

To complete the aesthetic, each whiteboard will eventually be framed with aluminium strip holder.

We also installed window frosting, adding frosting strips to some of the exposed glass.

This project represents and embodies why we strive so hard to innovate within the signage industry. You will see no better example of the functionality of a workspace being maximised with custom whiteboard inclusions -at least, not until we next outdo ourselves.

And perhaps that will be with your project?

Our dedicated team at Sydney Signs Portal awaits your contact.

Custom-made Safety Decals

Are you aware if the safety decals on your office glass partitions are of a standard that will actually prevent your staff and clients from walking into the glass and potentially sustaining injury?

Have you ascertained that your existing glass safety bands contrast sufficiently with your office interior to ensure there are no collisions with the glass? This can often occur when the office interior design is changed, or a wall mural or sign is added to an office, subsequent to the installation of glass safety marks.

As a business owner or manager, it is incumbent upon you to ensure that the windows and glass doors in your office comply with the minimum safety requirements. And, of course, it is desirable that your glazing mark decals be pleasing to the eye and incorporate appropriately with your office interior.

Too many people make the assumption that they are limited in their choice of glass manifestation safety decals. However, here at Sydney Signs Portal, we have a wealth of experience in designing and creating glass safety marks that reflect your company’s branding, colours and logo. All that, while still meeting glass safety requirements. It is that dual purpose – of safety and branding – that our team is always mindful of, and has spent years perfecting.

There are several ways that safety decal branding can be done. Your company logo or company name can be printed on frosted safety decals. Elements of your company branding can be cut out of the safety band, a process that offers countless variations. In fact, your options are endless and limited only by imagination.

We have a proud history at Sydney Signs Portal of specialising in designing, creating and installing custom made decals, wall graphics and signs. We have taken great care and developed a deep understanding of legal requirements to include safety decals among the list of products we specialise in tailoring specifically to your office.

It is often the smaller details that leave a lasting impression. Your clients will appreciate the creative approach of expressing branding in glass safety stickers, and be impressed with the accompanying attention to a pleasing aesthetic. Noticing that level of care on a feature as seemingly minor as a glass safety band, speaks clearly to client, telling them that they are in good hands.

Window Frosting: The Geometry of Style

One of the great privileges we have here at Sydney Signs Portal is participating in the growth and development of emerging interior design trends in contemporary offices.

One such office interior design trend is the use of geometric patterns for window frosting. Among which, the hexagon pattern is proving to be a particularly special approach as a window frosting solution.

Complimenting a variety of interior designs, hexagonal window frosting is both stylish and functional. Its geometry offers a wonderful business-like aesthetic, while providing the office privacy you require.

One of the great features of hexagonal window frosting is that it offers a wide range of variations. We can print your company colours on all of the hexagons – or just a selection – creating a striking effect of scattered elements. We also have the option of producing hexagons that are larger or smaller – depending on your preference – as well as choosing to fill or leave them empty. Working together, we are only limited by our collective imagination.

The experience our team at Sydney Signs Portal has with designing and installing window frosting over the years, presents a wonderful opportunity for your business to benefit greatly without the need for the type of costly investment normally associated with the interior design of your office.

Contact us today, and you too can discover why an increasing number of our clients are delighted with the style and appeal offered by hexagonal window frosting.

Expeditors – Quotable Interior Design

A Fortune 500 company with their headquarters based in Seattle, Washington, Expeditors is a company renowned for delivering highly optimised and customised supply chain solutions for their clients through a global network of 331 locations in 109 countries on six continents.

When their Sydney team, based in Banksmeadow, reached out to Sydney Signs Portal, their brief presented us with an opportunity to showcase our flare for interior design. Five meeting rooms were the canvas for our interior design specialist to work their magic, designing wall graphics to do justice to the inspiring quotes we were provided.

Somewhat appropriately, one of the featured quotes is by Aristotle, and reads: “We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore is not an act but a habit.”

Looking deeper than the five meeting rooms at Expeditors that we adorned with elegantly designed wall decals, the refined creativity that went into the wall graphics we created – and the quality of the finished product – is reflective of the excellence that Sydney Signs Portal has made our habit.
