We believe that creating a sign goes beyond simply displaying a name—it’s about telling a story and capturing the essence of a brand. Bespoke sign design offers a tailored approach that brings personality and distinctiveness to any business, helping it stand out and connect with its audience from the moment they enter.
Sometimes, it requires a little out-of-the-box thinking and a flair for the dramatic to create something special. Here’s an example.
Bringing Tribes Restaurant to Life with Custom Materials
At Tribes Restaurant, every detail of the sign was carefully considered to reflect both the brand’s story and its environment. The thoughtful selection of materials played a key role in shaping a memorable and inviting entrance that stands out and engages visitors from the outset.
Aged Corten Steel Bulkhead: Strength with Character
The bulkhead was made from Corten steel, chosen for its natural ability to develop a protective rust layer. To speed up this ageing process and control its look, salt water was applied, creating a rich, authentic patina. This technique adds texture and warmth, and the steel’s rugged appearance complements an architectural and inviting atmosphere perfectly.
Wood-Textured Fabricated Letters: Warmth and Depth
Adding warmth and contrast, the fabricated letters feature a wood-textured finish. These dimensional letters provide a natural, tactile quality that contrasts with the raw steel bulkhead, bringing depth and a handcrafted feel to the overall design.

Clear Perspex with Aged Brass Letters: A Touch of Refinement
The sign’s design includes clear Perspex panels accented by aged brass letters, introducing an elegant layer to the visual composition. The slightly weathered brass complements both the steel and wood textures, adding a refined contrast that enhances the overall aesthetic.
