The
pictorial sign is probably the most important sign especially
within the licensed trade. The pub or inn hanging sign is a
statement about the identity of the pub, and often the first
one that potential customers see; it is also a symbol of the
history and heritage of the pub. The pictorial British pub sign
is admired throughout the world and owes its origins to a royal
decree of 1750 which granted a liquor license "under the
sign of....."
Our
pictorial signs are unique as every one is hand painted with
strong contrasts of tone, light and colour. They often have
a different scene either side i.e. morning to evening or even
totally different paintings. No two signs are ever the same
as they are specifically designed for the pub, the building,
and the potential customer base that the business is trying
to attract. As they are hand painted with enamel they will outlast
'graphic' signs many times over and become an investment rather
than recurring expense.
We
have been commissioned by a number of the major and regional
pub groups together with numerous free houses to design and
execute original pictorial signs; as a result we, and our clients,
have had national and international media coverage from Bahrain
to Tasmania.
