Vehicle Graphics: The Process

Here is a Simple Step by Step Guide to the Process of Vehicle Graphics.

Number (1)

What is the Colour, Make, Model and Year of the Vehicle?

- This is so we can apply the Visuals to the correct Vehicle, We have all sizes and Vehicle Templates online so there is no Coming out to Measure or Size Guessing here at SC Signs.

 Number (2)

Do you have any Company Details, Existing Artwork? Logos? or Colours you Wish to Use?

- If you do we will incorporate your Logos but don't worry if you have not got anything yet, We will be happy to help with a basic Logo and Layout Design for your Branding. We also have some local Logo Designs which we will recommend to all Customers if thy wish to Pay for a Fantastic Logo.

Number (3) 

A visual will be sent over of the Vehicle Graphics on a Template along with a Quote. This is a starting point and we are open to discuss further suggestions and happy to make as many changes as it takes until you are happy before anything goes to print.

Number (4)

Once you are happy with the Visual and you would like us to Supply and Fit - We ask for a 50% Deposit up front, This is to secure your booking. We will arrange a date and time that is suitable to come and fit your Vehicle Graphics. We do offer a Mobile Fitting service but we ask that the Location and Conditions are suitable for us to do the work. (we are also Open by Appointment only during Weekends and Evenings) Once the work is Complete we ask for the other 50% of the Quote.

- Some people choose to pay all up front which is totally fine.

Number (5)

Your Vehicle Graphics will be Applied and we will of transformed your Blank Vehicle into a great cost effective way of Advertising on the move.

Donations & Sponsorships: Supporting Local Events & Charities

We often try to help with local events and charities in anyway we can - Sometimes this means Providing Banners, Printing TShirts or only charging for materials instead of our normal prices, we find this really helps when there is a small budget and we try and help as much as possible. Sadly we are not able to help on every occasion but will try our best and recently we have supplied and donated two PVC Printed Banners for the Reading Family Fun Day..

We were proud to be asked and are very proud to be able to sponsor such a great event.

SC Signs is a Small Business so funds are tight but we are always happy to try and help in anyway that we can. We also have on going contracts with several other local events which we supply Signage for and change the dates on them each year - We love working with the community and getting to know people and we also look forward to helping in our new local area since the move.. 

If you have a Charity or Event and need help with Signage or Printed Clothing then please get in touch and we will see what we can do with the funds available and be happy to try and help..

Good as New: Recycled Signage

Take a look at this up cycled, reused, refreshed, recycled Sign that we did  for Thatcham Tyre & Exhaust a few months ago - Doing our bit for the environment by re using an old sign and making it look as good as new. This is also great for those on a budget as using existing signage can cost less than completely new - If you have any old signs that you need to be refreshed then give us a shout and we would be happy to help.

This is also perfect if you have a re brand we can change to your new branding.

We took off the legs relocated them and then sprayed the sign and supplied it with a brand new front print making it look brand new and really stand out for the customer. Great results and the customer was very happy with the final product, hard to believe it is the same battered old sign.

Before throwing your sign away - Think about if it can be reused!

Replacement Graphics: Good as New

SC Signs works along side many well established  body shops to offer advice and replacement graphics onto any Vehicle that have had body work repair - This either includes colour match and cut graphics before fitting or applying graphics which have been either supplied by the company or supplied via the manufacture to make sure they are not cheap replicas. We will not produce certain graphics due to copy right unless we have written permission from the manufacture so often find it best to order them directly, on many occasions we have customers approach us and simply ask us for fitting when they simply do not feel confident to do it themselves - This includes the VXR Graphics above and also Roof Graphics for a mini. 

If required we also offer a removal service which means we can take off any old graphics before applying the new ones which is great way to give your vehicle a good as new look. 

If you require replacement graphics after bodywork repair or you simply want to refresh old worn graphics then get in touch for a free quote on 07964 816 399 even if you have already got the graphics but are unsure how to fit them or need a professional touch then we would be happy to help.

We have Moved: Chippenham, Wiltshire

SC Signs has Moved!!

I am sure most of you are aware that SC Signs is a Home Based Business and it was started in a spare room of my parents house in Thatcham, Berkshire many years ago but now We have got our own place in a beautiful little Village called Sutton Benger which is near Chippenham, Wiltshire.

It took a little while but we have now moved the office and all of our equipment into our new place and we will now be trading from the new house in Wiltshire, however we still have lots of local connections to Newbury and Thatcham so will be more than happy to continue all current contracts and provide signage and printed clothing to all existing customers.

SC Signs covers a 45 mile radius. We are in touch with another local sign company that will be taking on some of our existing customers that are slightly further afield but rest assured they are Fantastic and we are more than confident that they will be able to help where we are unable too.

Here is a little look into our Home Based Office and Work Space. 

It is now Business as usual - We are busy making signs, applying vehicle graphics, printing flyers and meeting with potential new customers in the area aswell as sending out some emails and handing out flyers. We really hope that Business continues to grow at this new and exciting time.

We like to keep Busy: Recent Vehicle Graphics

We have been very busy over the last few months and have been lucky enough to take on some new contracts as well as meeting lots of great new customers. Recently we have been away on a short Holiday to Poole in Dorset which means all messages, voicemails and orders were put on hold - We are now working extremely hard to get back to everyone as soon as we can and want to thank you for being so understanding. I wanted to show some examples of recent Vehicle Graphics.

Vehicle Graphics are a great way of advertising and as you can see we provide them to a range of Vehicle, we can provide a top quality service for an affordable price. We actually specialise in small and start up Businesses so if you have a budget let us know and we can work with you and offer the best option within your budget - even if the budget is from £30 - £300 we would be happy to help.

SC Signs: New Logo

SC Signs has a new Logo - Over the last 2 years we have tweaked and changed our Logo until now when we think we have got it exactly right. When SC Signs was created it was all very rushed due to the situation we needed a logo and at the time we loved it and thought it was perfect but as time when on we thought it looked a little busy and the most important part of any logo is to be clear and to the point - After being confused as SG Signs we decided it was something we had to look into.

Then came the second version of the Logo (which was short lived but was very easy to print and create in vinyl) We got rid of some splat surrounds and made it look like SC was written into paint almost and it worked for a short while until I realised I was missing the point. The most important point here was SIGNS we do SIGNS and even though we also do clothing this was not the most important point to get across so we decided to get rid of the word clothing. 

Original Logo

Second Edition

Since we were in the middle of moving we thought now is the time for Change. I spent some time flicking threw fonts and putting together a variation of designs and then suddenly it all came together. I hope you will agree our most recent and long term logo is much easier to read - Sometimes plain and simple is the answer with the right mix of colours and words it can be very effective.

Brand New Logo

We have already had lots of fantastic comments about the new logo - A logo is very important when it comes to Business and Branding. We don't recommend a constant logo change but you will probably notice ours has been similar enough not to cause confusion meaning our branding has been fairly consistent. When working on a Customer logo or artwork this is exactly why we provide visuals and send several emails back and forth to make sure your happy before any work goes ahead - Sadly since I do them myself I had no back and forth email to chop and change until I was truly happy so it has taken a couple of years to be truly happy with a fresh clean logo. 

Remember when choosing a logo make sure your important bits stand out - Then people can see exactly what you do at ease without any confusion. Take a look around at some of the big brands and see how simple yet effective the majority of their Logos are - A good logo: Simple, Memorable, Timeless, Appropriate and Versatile.
