What Important Things Do I need to Know?

Success of your digital signage will be mainly dependent on the Content you display or have for users to interact with. Once you've decided what the purpose of your digital signage is, we can help you develop some Content that maximises the potential of your device.  It may be as simple as a Powerpoint presentation driven off a USB, or a truly interactive touchscreen experience that engages the user through a sensory experience using videos, pop-ups, games, menu selections, on-line ordering, dynamic maps or so much more. 

Our team of Yap!digital graphic designers will take your brief and create the magic. 

Delivery
Based on your delivery requirements, Yap!hire will dispatch and set up the digital screens for you in our branded 'flight cases' for protection. It's easy and hassle-free!  At the end of the hire period our team will come and take the digital signage back to our base. Delivery fees are based on mileage to the destination*.

This large sign (photographed below) has been under construction in our workshops. It's quite hard to recognise it as a sign based on the photo below! Taken as a shot of the internal section of the sign, the inside has literally been 'lit up' with hundreds of LEDs. Using a side lit LED pattern our objective was to create an even light across all the surfaces of the sign. Due to their compact size, the LED's are able to align perfectly to illuminate this structure and infinite shapes of indoor and outdoor commercial signage.

LED's provide a brilliant, energy-efficient illumination that will last for many years without much maintenance or updating. Typically they come in LED strips which are thin, flexible, and come with adhesive backing, meaning they can be bent to follow various curves and angles of a sign.

​With optional IP weatherproofing, LED strip lights are also resistant to water and dust.

"I had no idea it would be like this!" is a typical visitors' reaction to Signs & Lines' purpose built signage facility. Our Google Virtual Tour will give you an insight if visiting yourself is impractical ...

​The installation of the new APN Greenwood digital pylon on the Mitchell Freeway in December 2018 saw the culmination of over a year’s planning for this major WA project. Signs & Lines' digital division, Yap!digital, provided a turnkey solution for this project including the manufacture, traffic management, installation and commissioning of the digital component.

As the first of eight pylons planned by Main Roads along the Mitchell Freeway, this giant electronic billboard is positioned in the most optimal location for maximum exposure for car traffic heading into Perth city.

Main Roads generate outdoor advertising revenue from the dynamic digital creative, which is in turn is used to fund road projects and upgrades.

​Follow the link to read our Case Study on this iconic project.

Signs & Lines and the Yap!digital team were involved from the outset with design and methodology for the build and install of the landmark pylon just after Greenwood Station heading southbound. The 12.5 metre wide sign face is positioned over 5 metres above ground level on a 9 metre header pole for maximum visibility to vehicle traffic. In total, the signboard offers 40 square meters of outdoor advertising brand awareness!
​
Manufacture of the steel structures involved structural and architectural drawings detailing how the Included in the specifications were details about surface treatment, camera support, fall arrest line inside vertical ladder access and aluminium ladder inside sign to access cabinets.

Careful planning of the installation of the pole and header sections was required to minimise disruption to the Mitchell Freeway traffic. Despite the scale of the sign, all elements were pre-made in house and took only 1 day to install. No lanes of the Freeway needed be closed, just the emergency lane had to be closed with bump trucks.

​Whether you need inspiration, design assistance or help managing a new wayfinding signage project, the team at Signs & Lines and Yap!digital can take your signage from drab to fab! Our service includes creating a strategy and integrated plan that will boost brand awareness and enhance your professional image.

When you need to make your brand/logo or information stand out 3D lettering comes highly recommended.

3D letters add a dynamic factor to your branding and are highly versatile - they can be made is all shapes and sizes, plus they can be created from a range of materials and illuminated in a number of innovative ways for bold, high impact marketing. Shadows, halo lighting or internal illumination all add to a 3D lettering sign's impact.

Leaps and bounds in technology mean 3D lettering is now an accessible option for most businesses. Here are a  couple of commonly asked questions:-

What materials work best?
There are so many options to choose from:- acrylic, medium density fibreboard, brass, PVC, foam or aluminium composite panel (ACP) are a few popular options. Wood is also an option and we love pushing the design boundaries, so let us know what you're after and we'd be happy to help!

Why choose IIluminated letters?
These are going to have maximum effect - day and night. Assuming your customers, users and potential next customers only operate in daylight hours is short-sighted (excuse the pun!). Light up the letters themselves with energy efficient LEDs or create a halo effect with back lighting.

Letter Examples

Fascia signage undoubtedly plays a huge part in the overall appeal of a destination. The need to create well-sized and well-positioned branding on buildings serves to both attract and direct customers, and our teams have been busy creating signage that does just that at Perth's most anticipated shopping centre.

Westfield Carousel's recent $350 million makeover included the addition of 27,000 square metres of retail space to make it the biggest place for destination shoppers. Heralded as a new 'golden age of retail', the Carousel makeover included new fascia signage across all the external walls to promote the Westfield brand and the major retailers within the shopping centre.

Numerous three dimensional external facade Westfield Logos, sized up to 2 metres high, were fabricated out of aluminium U-channel letters with acrylic faces. Translucent vinyl was applied to the face, sides and rear and then painted with 2 pac paint. Internal illumination was achieved with LEDs. The letters were installed onto horizontal mounting rails and wired up for power.

Fascia signage for Kmart, Coles, Myer, David Jones, Woolworths to name but a few was also manufactured and installed by our teams during the night to minimise impact to shoppers and other contractors during the day.

If your fascia or building signage needs an upgrade, drop us a line today with your ideas for your signage. Or give us a blank sheet of paper and our designers will craft you some eye-catching signage that will ensure your business is both seen and visited!  Contact admin@signsandlines.com or call Mark on +61 8 9274 5151 today. 

Satterley's JV with Tamala Park Regional Council saw our workshops take on very bright and vibrant hues this month as the signage for the Catalina Estate took shape. Strategically placed either side of Marmion Avenue in Perth's northern suburbs, the Estate is ideally placed to benefit from some wizz-bang signage.

Process blue, tomato red and neon green adorned the 3 large monolith and 4 hoarding signs - and they're definitely not going to be missed by residents and prospective buyers! 

Our team are seen below in the final preparation and assembly stages, pulling the signs into shape after their journey through our fabrication, paint and router departments. Well done to all, including the installation team of Jack, Phil, Wazza and Joel for pulling off a successful during January and February.
