Icon Creations launches the easy to read and notice information post sign, for displaying directions, promotions, menus etc.
Icon Creations, just unveiled an information post sign frame that is easily noticeable from a distance and can accommodate A4 or letter size format inserts.
The modular information post sign is easily read, thanks to its’ 45° angle. The sign frame is situated on a post. The top end cap is formed to host a laser cut information pictogram that meshes with the standard Vista profiles to create a unique bespoke looking sign. These steel or aluminium parts can be used for displaying logos, icons and more. The pictograms or other graphics can be custom ordered to create a fully made to order sign. This is a unique new feature, part of Icon Creations Modular Curved Frame Technology concept – tailor made accessories that accentuate the purpose of the sign.
The information post sign offers the flexibility to accept a variety of insert materials such as paper, engraving, vinyl, digital printing and photo-polymer. The inserts can be easily removed and updated.

Streets Paints The Town Red
Streets Ice Cream has been very active in Melbourne this summer. A myriad of Milk Bars and Major Event venues across city and country have been freshened up with stunning new signage to support ice cream sales for Unilever Australasia.
Unilever approached Icon Creations to do the signage program within both a $ budget and a timeline, and if they succeeded, there would be extra funds to do even more locations. This proviso was fundamental to the success or failure of the project. Icon Creations met the challenge and the result was a major rollout of re-branding stores well beyond Unilever’s original brief.
Working as a team, representatives from Unilever and Icon Creations conducted the site inspections, met with the Milk Bar retailers, planned the best type and location of signs, agreed the content for each sign, and within a matter of a few weeks the colour of Greater Melbourne was changing to Streets red.
If you come across a bright new Streets Milk Bar façade in Melbourne, chances are Icon Creations was there, making sure the design elements worked and were fabricated and installed on time to meet the peak summer ice cream sales season.

Welcome to our 8 part series of what makes an effective sign?
The design of effective signs is based in science. It also requires expertise in graphic design. There’s more to a good sign than meets the eye.
Knowing the factors behind making a good working sign helps make you a more informed customer when dealing with a sign company. These are just some of the factors considered by sign manufacturers when they scout your location:
1. Visibility/Conspicuity
2. Legibility
3. Cone of Vision and Angle
4. Graphic Considerations (Color, Contrast & White Space)
5. Contrast/Luminance
6. Letter Heights
7. Letter Style and Capitalization
8. Lighting
Over the next 8 issues we will share our knowledge with you and enlighten you with some helpful hints on how to get the best of your signage requirements. |
