Shop Front Signs have a lot to say about your business

January 18, 2017

Shop front signs, like the shops, restaurants and businesses they identify, are available in practically infinite variety. To do a good job on behalf of its host though, there’s relatively few ways that shop front signs should be produced. At the Voodoo DesignWorks in Bristol, shop front signs have become a deep specialisation. Our clientele for shop front signage includes some of the biggest names on the high street.

Every shop front sign that Voodoo designs and manufactures is made from the best materials that are available. Shop fronts in modern retail developments have long abandoned formats which once dedicated space to a fascia sign. Contemporary shop front sign design may need to find an elegant way of accomplishing fascia signs’ promotional roles, from within an expanse of glazing extending from ground level to the premises’ first floor.

Shop Front Signs

A shop front sign usually has a great deal of competition for attention. Cutting through the scribble of clutter and colour and retaining the subject brand’s personality is a challenge.

We think there’s three ways of manufacturing shop front signs. There’s the wrong way, there’s the right way, and there’s the Voodoo way. Shop front signage by Voodoo is informed by best practice in terms of its technical credentials, but we recognise that signs for shop fronts have to be more than just well fabricated structures. That’s why our retail shop fascia signs are possessed of a quality that distinguishes them from others.

Voodoo designs signs for shops in various illuminated signage formats. We work with neon sign lighting and we’re accomplished exponents of modern lighting technologies for signs such as LEDs. Traditional shop front signs have used sources of front-lit sign lighting and we’ve got a great deal of experience producing those too. We work in materials like plastics, wood and metal and we bring them into creative alliances that make shop front sign that shine.

Ultimately, a sign for shops and other businesses have a duty to promote the business that hosts them. It’s a round-the-clock job that puts demands on the sign that only a quality product will survive. Shop front signs with indifferent light and design say a great deal about the business that hosts them and business surely suffers.

Voodoo has a wealth of experience it shop front and retail signing to offer anyone looking to rebrand, refresh or to stamp a brand new identity on a new business. We invite you to call and discuss your needs. Voodoo will put your business on the map.

Brand Wallpaper

January 16, 2017

There’s always been a desire to brand wallpaper. Today, there’s a need too.

The desire to brand wallpaper is not new. The means to do it affordably and well is. Today, there’s a need to brand wallpaper too. When it reflects your brand, wallpaper doesn’t just impress an identity continuation for your business on the spaces you work with, it makes them your own. Brand wallpaper and it’s good for business and for the working environment.

Wallpaper that reflects your brand is a very versatile medium and today, thanks to advances in materials and the technology used to print them, the medium is flexible beyond your imaginings. Brand wallpaper used to mean designs repeating at intervals corresponding with the turns of an old-fashioned printing press. Today that limitation is absent, as the need for very complex and costly design origination.

Here in the Voodoo DesignWorks in Bristol, we brand wallpaper: bespoke wall covering is the outcome. Free of traditional print and its limitations, we can produce wallpaper murals for retail shops and other businesses, transformational wall coverings for hospital or schools, restaurant wallpaper, functional décor and anything else the imagination suggests – or the need mandates.

The Voodoo ReFresh service we offer transforms interior spaces with functional wall coverings that are as inviting to touch as they are to behold. Brand wallpaper is really only where the idea begins. The design is unique, you make it your own. Our artists work with your ideas to deliver the impression your branded wall coverings need to communicate. That means it can be subtle and ambience-enhancing, or you can go thermo-nuclear and throw every colour and contrast imaginable at the job. When you choose custom branded wall coverings the Voodoo way, anything is possible.

Here’s how we brand wallpaper. It starts with the spark of an idea, yours or ours. We can work with an existing piece of art, a product picture or logo too. We then throw that in The ‘Works and our artists develop design concepts for your approval. You’ll love what you see.

We then print a blank wall covering of your choice from the extensive range we offer using our specialist printer hardware. It delivers durable, colourful, odour free results that are safe to use around food and clothes or anywhere else for that matter. We can install your brand wallpaper nationally, or you can do it yourself.

WINDOW GRAPHICS

Shop Window Graphics – It’s about Design

December 8, 2016

When is a shop window, not a shop window? When it’s obscured with shop window graphics to the extent the shopper can barely see in, or appreciate what may be on display.

That said, shop window graphics can play several important roles. They can serve as an identity continuation for shopping centre signs. They extend the reach of retail promotion and point of sale in shopping centres into the pedestrian zone. And they can assume a role in short-term seasonal sales generation too.

There’s a world of difference between window stickers and properly designed shop window graphics. That difference is Voodoo. We’ve been producing window graphics and signs for shopping centres for years – we know what works in the cause of retail sales promotion and retail brand development. And we know what doesn’t.

Window clings are easy for the retailer to apply but paradoxically, difficult to apply properly. Such low cost window graphics have a marked effect on the tone of a business overall. They instantly take the shine off it. You can do better with Voodoo and a more considered approach to retail promotion.

Shop window graphics considered as such and designed with an outcome in mind do much more. They can entice shoppers into the premises and promote buying decisions. They work so much harder than off the shelf window decals and, often, don’t cost much more either.

An agreement between tenants and shopping centres effectively has the shopping centre sign what amounts to a promise to promote the centre’s brand and environment. The retailer in the shopping centre signs an agreement to be bound by the standards that the landlord defines. Some shopping centres actually legislate against poor quality shop window graphics.

Restaurant Wallpaper – Food for the Eyes

October 6, 2016

It is said that food is consumed as much with the eyes as it is via the conventional route. On that basis, restaurant wallpaper and ambient décor can make a huge contribution to overall customer satisfaction.

That’s where the Voodoo DesignWorks can help you. Voodoo designs, produces and installs restaurant wallpaper nationwide as part of its décor services. Our process is fast and it causes next to no disruption. We can work from a brief reflecting the look and feel of your restaurant. Or we can create something exclusively for you from the ground up. Restaurant wallpaper is just the beginning. We can also provide wall murals, ambience enhancing window graphics and a whole raft of other touches too numerous to discuss here.

Wall Graphics Restaurant

Here’s how we make restaurant wallpaper thats distinctive and affordable. We print it, digitally. Consequently, you can have literally any design, colour or pattern that you want. Unlike conventional commercial wall coverings, our restaurant wallpaper isn’t limited by the production process. So if you want a design that spans several drops, or a single image blown up to cover an entire wall, you’ll get that from Voodoo rather than the blank looks you might get somewhere else.

Restaurant wallpaper is one of a range of commercial décor products that we offer as part of our ReStyle by Voodoo service. This service is about affordable transformation. All we need are reasonably sound surfaces to work on, and a hint of direction as to your needs. The effect is jaw dropping. Restaurant wallpaper delivers a truly massive impact that represents unbeatable value compared to paint, traditional wall covering or other finishes.

Our restaurant wallpaper is long lived and easy to care for too. Bumps that might irreparably damage paint or paper finishes are better tolerated. Dust and other build up simply wipes away. Fading is minimal so it looks good and goes on doing the job you want for much longer.

We can install seasonal restaurant wallpaper too. If you want to change your wall covering based on a promotional theme, our production methods and materials make that possible. You can reflect periods of celebration like major holidays. You could even cater for large party celebrations with wall coverings reflecting highly personalised birthdays or weddings should you choose.

If you’re worried about the very high costs of the original content needed to achieve your décor goals, please don’t. We provide very economical solutions based around creatively produced images supporting your theme. If you need a two foot high fully loaded burger blown up big to cover a pillar, we can give it to you. Think big. Be adventurous and Voodoo will get the job done for you.
