Meet the team behind the scenes at Resolve. Production Manager: David King

, , , 0

 

If you’ve been in touch with Resolve recently, chances are, you may have noticed there is a new face amongst our team. 

David King has recently joined Resolve with over 38 year’s experience in the printing industry. With a wealth of knowledge from working in larger print companies (working primarily in catalogue and magazine printing), David has previously undertaken numerous roles and has generated an understanding of every aspect of the production process. 

Most recently, he has been working in a sales role, and before this he also worked in customer service and scheduling within the printing industry. 

Joining Resolve as the new Production Manager, David will adapt his breadth of knowledge to the fast-paced production schedule that Resolve prides itself on. 

David was first attracted to the role at Resolve as he liked the idea of working for a smaller production company, and the unison that a smaller team can offer. Once David met Resolve Director, Sean Kelly, he knew instantly that Resolve would be the right company for him.

A typical day in David’s new role will involve looking after the production schedule and making sure the team are on track with what needs to be done at all times. 

We are excited to have David joining the Resolve team and look forward to giving David the opportunity to grow and utilise his vast wealth of experience. 

At Resolve, we love a challenge, and we have great minds at work constantly coming up with new and innovative ways to deliver beautiful signage that will get attention. 

If you have a unique signage project in mind, give us a call, we’d love to work with you to create something truly special.

Lindt Cafe Nunawading

The Client

World-famous for their delicious swiss chocolate, Lindt has a number of cafes specializing in showcasing their chocolate through various desserts and drinks. 

The Situation

Lindt is opening a new cafe in Nunawading and enlisted Resolve to bring it to life. 

If you’ve ever been inside a Lindt cafe you know they have an abundance of extravagant wall and window graphics adorning the whole area, including eye-catching 3D displays. As this was for a new cafe, we were starting all of that from scratch. 

A key challenge when working for a large brand is having to adhere to brand guidelines in order to keep the look and feel consistent across all the brand’s locations. 

Companies invest a lot into building their brands, so the work needs to be totally in sync with their image, even if it means going the extra mile to make that happen. 

Throughout the project, we worked alongside the cafe’s construction crew. As the location hadn’t been built yet, we had to keep a close eye on measurements as they became known, so it was important to stay in touch with every aspect of the project to get the best result.

The Outcome

Everything ran smoothly and the job was completed in time for the grand opening! 

We also gave recommendations on missing guidelines to ensure that Lindt continues to build a strong brand as they expand their cafes further afield.

If you have a project or client that needs a large re-brand, contact us today and let’s work together to elevate your brand!

The Most Exciting Signs We’ve Done

, , 0

The most exciting type of signage that we do is custom bespoke signage.

Why? 

The impact a custom sign has on your business is massive.

It gives anyone who sees it a lasting positive impression of your business. 

It shows the world that you’re different, that you’re not a cookie cutter business that does everything the same as everyone else.

A custom sign allows your business to be unique and truly stand out from the crowd, cutting through the clutter in your target market’s mind.

That’s why we encourage all our customers to have a custom sign.

It might cost a bit more, but the impact will pay for itself many times over.

While all signs do the job of telling the world who you are, a custom sign can be more than just that.

A custom sign will stick in people’s mind – essentially selling what’s great about your business without being pushy.

Think about it this way. If you were in a crowded marketplace or trade show, what kind of sign is more likely to grab your attention – a sticker on the door or a 3D illuminated sign on the wall?

Seeing the impact a custom sign has on our client’s businesses is a very rewarding part of what we do. We’re proud to see our clients get excited and start to walk taller once their custom sign is up and running.

We’ve also practiced what we preach.

Having been at our new location for over a year, we’ve finally put our own 3D halo-lit sign up.

And without fail, everyone who walks through our door will notice the sign. 

As a signage business, what more can you ask for?!


Our new custom sign.

And we’d love to help your business get noticed too.

Static vs Digital Signs: Are the Latest Trends Here To Stay?

Static vs Digital Signs: Are the Latest Trends Here To Stay?

, , , 0

In the world of signage, change is inevitable.

Much of that change is driven by technology – new materials and new technology mean we’re always seeing new ways to make your brand come to life.

But not all of that change is driven by technology.

Trends come and go, and the signage world is no different. 

Retro signage is trending at the moment, proving that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Neon and hand-painted signs have ridden the vintage wave to become some of our most requested designs in recent times.

That’s why it’s important for signage companies to have multi-skilled staff. You want to give your clients the confidence that your team can handle not only the latest innovations, but the tried and true designs of bygone eras. 

And as we’ve seen recently as we grapple with a recession, only specialising in certain types of signage will be detrimental to any signage business, no matter how good they are at what they do best.

If you asked us five years ago what the industry landscape would be like now, we would have thought digital signage would play a much bigger part. 

Instead, static signage is here to stay, and in some cases we’re even seeing clients swapping their digital signs for static ones.

So, while digital signage is a modern essential, static signage is the “essential essential” and will be for years to come.

If you’re looking for a new sign for your business, we have a vast array of signage solutions to suit your needs. 

Whether it be modern, retro, classic or anything in between, we can create it for you at Resolve.

Older Buildings and Signage

How to Minimise the Risks of Putting Signs on Older Buildings

0

Older buildings often come with a unique set of challenges.

And much of the time, they require a significant work-around to make sure a sign can go up without issue.

The Dangers of Old Bricks

We recently went to a site where we were unable to put up a sign because the building’s bricks were old and cracking.

Given the high risk of further damage to the bricks and the potential for someone to get hurt, we had to tell the client that it would be unsafe to put up a sign.

Luckily, for that particular job, we were able to find a more suitable location for the sign. 

But this kind of luck won’t always hold.

There are some buildings where fixings simply cannot go. In these instances, we’ll need to assess the options to ascertain how to move forward with a signage project without damaging the property.

How We Make Sure It’s Safe to Put Up a Sign

Any aspect of a building that might pose a risk to a new sign must be identified in the site audit.

Once you’ve completed a thorough audit, the facts can be laid out to the client.  They will undoubtedly have certain expectations about what they want from the signage, but these might have implications for the building, and so it’s up to you to work through that with them.

The goal of our site audits is to make sure we have all the information we need to not only put up a great sign that will wow our client but do so without posing any risk of damage to the building.

If you would like a new sign and are unsure how it may affect your building, get in contact with us and we’ll be happy to do a site audit to find a way to make your new sign a reality.
