Creating branding with impact for a new extension

The Brief

St Louis Catholic Primary School in Aylesbury contacted us after finishing a new extension.

They needed new signs for this area. The branding had to match the look and feel of the rest of the school.

The signs included fascia with individual letters and a logo, post-mounted signs, car park signs, wayfinding signs, interior plaques, and window graphics. In short, everything needed to create a cohesive visual identity.

Since the work had to be done during the summer holiday, we had just six weeks to complete it.
 

What We Did to Help

We began with a site meeting to understand the project clearly. We discussed the school’s needs, suggested materials, and explored design ideas.

Our team carried out all the needed checks. These included structure surveys, safety assessments, and installation planning. We also measured each area carefully and took photos to support the design and quotation stages.

Because the project included several elements, we visited the site often. We also held regular check-ins with the client to keep everything on track.

We used a mix of products for this job. For external signs, we cut letters and the logo from aluminium. We coated them in a 10-year anti-vandal resin. Rear locators were used to keep all fixings hidden and give a clean finish.

During the project, the client shared a cheaper quote from another provider. The suggested materials, however, didn’t match our quality standards. We explained why our recommendation would last longer and look better.

Our job is to guide clients with honest, expert advice. In this case, the result spoke for itself. The school loved the finished look.

They felt confident knowing the signage would stay sharp and durable for years.
