Calling yourself a signwriter doesn’t make you one.

Look around Gladstone and see who else is actually swinging a brush.

I’ll wait…..

Printing vinyl is one part of the sign trade.

Signwriting is a craft.

There’s a difference.

The signwriting gurus are out of town again… doing what only true signwriters can.

Hand painting massive building signs with the speed and confidence that only comes from decades behind a brush.

Anyone can stick vinyl on a panel. Not everyone can paint a sign this size.

If you want the job done right the first time, call Gladstone Signs first.

If you’ve seen it, there’s a good chance we’ve painted it.

Over the last 5 years we’ve had the privilege of putting a brush to some of the biggest hand-painted signage projects in the region. From Bunnings and Tool Kit Depot to large-scale retail, trade centres, wayfinding systems and everything in between, our work is scattered from Hobart to Darwin!

In an age where everything seems to come out of a printer, we’re proud to still be carrying on the traditional craft of signwriting.

Whether it’s a building logo, a warehouse wall, a retail directory, or detailed hand-lettered wayfinding, every project is approached with the same attention to detail and craftsmanship that has defined our trade for decades.

If your next project involves a sign that’s big, too high, too detailed, or too important to get wrong, you know who to call.

What a project.

We’ve finally wrapped up this signage package for OTR Tyres new premises on Gladstone - Benaraby Road.

This project included:

✔ Hand-painted OTR logo on the front of the building
✔ Hand-lettered tyre brand logos across the front awning
✔ Custom ACM panel to the front reception counter
✔ Large-format mixed media, feature mural in the reception area.

The mural alone involved many hours on the brush outlining, and detailing to bring it to life. The goal was to create something visitors would remember the moment they walked through the door, and we reckon it does exactly that.

Projects like this are why we love what we do. A combination of traditional signwriting, modern print technology and a fair bit of patience.

A huge thank you to the team at OTR Tyres for trusting us with the vision from start to finish. We had an absolute ball working on this one and we’re proud to have helped put the finishing touches on an impressive new facility.

If you’re driving past, make sure you stop in and check it out.
