A comedy tour is basically an exhibition stand with hecklers.

We’ve been working with on , as they travel in search for the UK’s next comedy legend.

Which meant making a few things that needed to look good, travel well and cope with a different stage every time.

So we made custom adjustable backdrop signs, complete with sticker-bashed uprights, which can be reconfigured to suit the different venues. And because simply listening to the audience apparently wasn’t enough, we also built a freestanding Laugh-o-Meter.

A completely scientific* way of finding out whether a comedian is actually funny.

They’ve already been putting the kit to work in Chiswick, Bath and Leeds, with the competition travelling around the UK before the final. Dutch Barn describes the whole thing as its hunt for the next comedy legend, with £5,000 waiting for the winner.

This is exactly the sort of project we like.

Not really “just signage”. Not quite an exhibition stand. Definitely involves stickers.

And occasionally people stand next to it and try to make a room full of strangers laugh.

Thanks for having us involved in this one. .creative_media & Tom Blenkiron. Our own .abell is on the hunt for some cans now!

*Not remotely scientific.

40 years deserves more than a pull-up banner!

Currently turning a fair bit of wood into something special for 40th anniversary.

We’ll show you the rest once we’ve finished making sawdust.

A wall full of information. Without making it look like a wall full of information.

We’ve been over at the Woodsmith Mine Project near Whitby, working with

Woodsmith is being developed to access the world’s largest known deposit of polyhalite, a naturally occurring mineral that will be used to produce their POLY4 multi-nutrient fertiliser. The project also includes a 37km underground transport system taking the mineral towards Teesside. Anglo American

Our bit was considerably closer to the surface. Phew!

Large-format wall graphics, including the project map, custom display shelves for samples, and a series of stretch-fabric boxes made in different sizes and depths.

Rather than everything sitting flat against the wall, the different panels tessellate together and step in and out, giving the whole display a bit more depth.

Part signage. Part exhibition display. Part figuring out how all the different bits fit together.

Which in the end is our sort of thing!

Before we show the new Big Bear Bikes window display that we are currently working on, here’s a look at some of the earlier work we did at their Dalby & Pickering stores this year.

This one covered a fair bit.
A big internal lightbox.
Wall graphics through the showroom.
And an older window display that never actually made it onto our grid.

It’s a good example of the jobs that sit somewhere between signage, retail fit-out and making a space feel like it belongs to the business using it.

Not one big flashy feature. Just lots of parts working together to make the place feel right.

And if you sell mountain bikes in Dalby, it probably helps if the space looks like they belong there!

8.6 metres of pie-related signage.

A new aluminium sign tray for The Pickering Pie Emporium, with white and gold Perspex lettering and detail across the full frontage.

Simple colours, plenty of scale, and a name that’s quite difficult to miss.

More importantly, we now know exactly where the pies are.

The box office has had another costume change.

We’ve wrapped this space a few times now, each one changing with the show.
This time, Cinderella.

The old Dolly 9 to 5 inspired office look came down, and in its place went a full panto-style takeover.

Stone walls.
A magical kitchen.
Ugly sister portraits.
Mice causing trouble.
A castle view out of the window.
And enough purple to make sure nobody misses it.

It's got a job to do, but now it feels like part of the show before anyone has even picked up their tickets.

That is the bit we like. Taking a normal part of a building and making it work harder.

Very subtle, obviously.

Cinderella runs at Bridlington Spa from 12 December to 3 January, with tickets available from the website or the box office

It is a production, directed by , starring with Joe Standerline, , Kieran Messer, Paul Winterford, Jay Joel and Barbara Jaeson.

“The whole world is your sticker book.”

That was Dan’s daughter’s version of what we do.
And honestly, it might be the best explanation yet.

We can dress it up with proper words like signage, large-format print, branded environments and custom installations.

But sometimes the simple version is better.
We put stickers on things.

Just with more measuring, planning, printing, cutting, fitting, problem-solving, and trying not to drop anything expensive.

Turns out the world is a pretty big sticker book.

A tired reception area does not always need ripping apart.

Sometimes it just needs a bit of thought, a cleaner finish, and something that makes the space feel like it actually belongs to the business using it.

Recent work for REDS10, a long-time returning customer.

This reception area had seen better days. Old marks on the walls, bits removed, and a space that felt more “temporary office” than “welcome in”.
We added bold wall graphics, clean branded details, door vinyl, and built-up lettering to give the entrance a much sharper feel.
Nothing overcomplicated.
Just a smarter first impression.
The kind of job where the difference is obvious, but the work still feels like it belongs in the room rather than shouting over it.
Always good working with returning customers, especially when there is more in the pipeline.

Close to home this one.

We’ve been refreshing town entry signs across Scarborough, Whitby and Filey.

Nothing wildly flashy.

New printed panels, freshly painted posts, cleaned-up details, and a bit of life put back into something thousands of people pass without really thinking about.

The signs welcome people in, send them on their way, and keep local events visible throughout the year.

They also carry the old town marks at the top, which meant redrawing the original logos which was fun, rather than just throwing a fuzzy file at it and hoping nobody noticed.

Not every job needs to be dramatic.

Some are just about looking after the bits of a place that have been there for what seams like forever, making sure they still feel cared for, and keeping the local character intact.

Always nice doing work close to home. Especially when the view comes with Scarborough, Whitby and Filey attached.
