Good signs deserve a closer look.

Here’s Claudia fitting brushed stainless steel letters onto the acoustic slat wall at Brunton Residential. Careful positioning, finishing touches, and a result we’re proud to put our name to.

The brushed steel against the warm wood tones makes a lovely combination. Swipe to see the finished wall.

Small van, plenty of visibility.

Last year we installed the signage and window graphics at Kult in Gosforth. It’s great seeing it becoming part of the community on the High Street.

North East entrepreneur, Mark Graham, 40, has swapped managing community facilities for coffee, protein shakes and overnight oats after taking the plunge and opening his own wellness-focused café ☕

KULT has become a well-known site to those who pass Gosforth High Street, which combines specialty coffee with a growing range of wellness and fitness-focused food and drinks.

After years of working in the management community facilities and school lettings, Mark decided it was time to follow his long-held ambition and create a business of his own.

Mark said: “I’d always wanted to do something totally different and follow a passion.

"I’ve always enjoyed coffee and I love it, but I’ve also got my Level 3 personal training qualification and have always been interested in fitness and nutrition.”

While Gosforth has many cafes and coffee shops to choose from, KULT’s focus on wellness and fitness makes it unique.

Mark said: “I thought there are a million different coffee places you can go to, but I wanted to create somewhere that fitted with me.

"I like going for a coffee, but I also like to train and make sure I’m eating properly afterwards.

"When the opportunity came up in Gosforth with lots of fitness businesses around the area, it just seemed to make sense from a business perspective.

"I finally took the leap, although quite a few people thought I was mad, especially with the hospitality industry being as challenging as it is.”

A natural finish for a beautiful coastal setting

We produced and installed these 10mm matt black acrylic letters for at The Landing in Beadnell. Mounted onto wooden plank boards, the crisp black lettering creates a simple but striking contrast that perfectly suits the relaxed, coastal feel of the brand.

A timeless new look for The Village Café in Whitburn.

We produced and installed brushed gold lettering across the freshly painted pale grey fascia, creating an elegant finish that complements the character of this beautiful traditional shopfront.

A simple combination of colour and materials, but one that gives the café a distinctive new identity with plenty of warmth.

Take a look at the transformation in the latest video.

An updated look for Redheads Mac ’N’ Cheese at Manor Walks

We recently returned to the container unit to complete a few branding updates, including a bold new sign overlay across the top and a fully updated menu panel showcasing their latest mac ’n’ cheese dishes, burgers, chicken, loaded fries and combo meals.

The bright yellow and orange graphics really stand out against the black container, helping the unit catch attention while keeping everything consistent with the recognisable Redheads brand.

A great example of how updating a few key signs can refresh an existing premises without replacing everything.

We are over the moon with this fantastic review from Solarglide Limited
“A huge thank you to Hooper Signs Applied Graphics for the fantastic job on my new company van.

From start to finish, the service was outstanding. The visual designs provided in advance gave me a clear picture of how everything would look, and the turnaround time was incredibly impressive. The graphics were designed, produced, and installed within just 10 days.

The finished result is superb and exactly how I wanted it. Professional, high-quality workmanship combined with excellent customer service made the whole process seamless.

Thank you to the team at Hooper Signs. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for vehicle graphics, signage, or branding solutions.”
