RUSTIC RETRO OLD-LOOKING SIGNS

There’s a reason that people want things to look old and beat up. That’s why we’re here to help when when modern needs to look rustic and old.

It takes decades for materials to age to the point where you’d describe them as looking old or weathered and rustic. Our craftspeople here know a thing or two about speeding the process up and making things look way older than they really are. We’ve turned it into an art-form in fact and, if demand is anything to go by, there’s a real appetite for it.

Rustic signage takes many forms. One way or another, we’ll achieve the effect without resort to extremely expensive reclaimed materials or keeping you waiting for sixty years. We can design age right into the DNA of the signs we make. We build in character from the off. We make signs today, that hark back to a period long past.

Come to the Voodoo DesignWorks for a thoroughly modern approach to traditional signage. It only looks old.

A: Retro Signs are designed to look like the product of design exercise from times past. For example, reflecting popular characteristics of design from the 50s. We will make rustic signage that looks so it has a bit of age about it. Not just something that nods to the design.

Retro signs often have to fit into character with their surroundings. That requires sensitivity and understanding. Properly designed retro signs do just that. Rustic signs are little different.

Rustic signage does not use modern materials in its construction, but rather seeks to look as though it’s made with aged or vernacular materials. Those materials are also not available so we do our best to stimulate them.

A: In a word we make our retro and rustic signs sympathetically. We have to evoke the era and craft in which they are made. That means choosing and using the right materials, and very carefully making sure design elements reflect the era.

It’s not always possible to come up with something that’s a mirror image of an old sign. Some lighting means are no longer legal for example. We bend technology to our own purpose. We will use that and our craft skills to produce a surprisingly convincing finished product.

The great thing about making old signs in the modern era is that they can be made in quantity. So if you’re looking for an identity that is based in times past but that can be rolled out in scale, we have what you need.

A: It won’t come as any surprise to learn retro signs only really look at home in places that reflect the character. Someone imposing a limitation on use, it’s only fair to say modern retro signs will actually work anywhere.

We don’t have to be sensitive to the decay of old materials and that means our retro signage will work indoors and out. You will know where are you want to use your rustic or retro sign. Rest assured we can make a sign that works there.
