award-winning 2017
sign and display grapHiCs specialist, Signbox is looking back
at a successful 2017 after it picked up three major awards and two
commendations throughout the year. The Egham-based company
won the Architectural Sign of the Year Award and the inaugural Décor
Award at The British Sign Awards, as well as a FESPA Gold Award in
the Decals and Printed Labels category at the FESPA awards earlier
in the year.
The British Sign Awards, acknowledging the outstanding work
of sign businesses in the UK, recognised Signbox’s work on the
Dakota building in Weybridge, Surrey in the Architectural Sign
of Year category. As part of a major renovation, Signbox provided
elegant and eco-friendly signage to reflect the building’s modern,
contemporary feel and the local area’s aviation heritage. This
included the creation and installation of an LED illuminated skyline
sign, a glazed entrance foyer sign, an external ground level sign and
wayfinding monoliths.
The Décor Award recognised Signbox’s work at the new London office
of Greece’s Alpha Bank in central London. Alongside the architects,
Signbox helped to deliver a range of detailed environmental
graphics, manifestations and bespoke signage in muted taupes and
bronzes that befitted Alpha Bank’s Greek heritage.
Signbox’s work on the iconic illuminated, rotating New Scotland Yard
sign was also ‘highly commended’ in the Architectural Signage of the
Year and the Illuminated Sign of the Year categories.
Earlier in the year, at the FESPA Awards, Signbox brought home a
gold award in the Decals and Printed Labels category for its work last
year at the London headquarters of book publisher, Hachette UK. In
collaboration with the Graphics History Company, Signbox delivered
a mural made up of thousands of iconic author names, forming a
“river of authors” into a flowing representation of the River Thames.
“This year has been one that Signbox can look back on with great
pride,” says Signbox Managing Director Mark Bartlett. “To have
received awards and commendations for four projects is fantastic
and is true testament to the hard work and dedication of our team.”
