•• Signs will not crack, split, swell, rot or rust because they are made from High Density Urethane. Waterproof and insect proof HDU is laminated to a PVC backing for additional rigidity and strength.

•• Paints are made from UV fade- resistant mineral pigments. The paint expands and contracts with temperature changes and will not blister, flake or peel.

BuilDing SignS tHat are well-designed and of quality construction help to consistently maintain your school brand throughout the campus. Before we design a building sign, we take all the little details into consideration. From how far away

does the sign need to be read? How high does it need to be mounted to avoid vandalism? Will the cars in the car park obstruct visibility? What architectural features should the designs complement?

Many SCHoolS aSK us to plan and provide all their signage from the main entry statement to classroom door signs. We develop a strategy for marketing, wayfinding and identification signs. At the scheduling stage we figure out what signs are

needed and where they should be installed. When it’s time for school board approval, we provide high quality images of signs, a map showing the location of each sign and pricing – all assembled in a comprehensive presentation.

‘The process and final outcome proved to be even better than we had dared to expect. Danthonia’s design work was creative, paid the greatest attention to detail and was highly receptive to the local setting and its specific requirements.

DantHonia HaS Been designing and handcrafting signs for schools across the USA and Australia for years. The very first school sign we created was for our local high school. It was beautifully crafted and fitted out with a magnetic message board that is still in daily use. Since then,

we have been supplying schools with all types of signage from door signs and directional signs to the message board sign at the front entrance. Design, fabrication and service are all under the same roof, ensuring consistent quality at every stage of the process.

‘Within days of installing our sign, three schools and two businesses called us with enquir-ies. As for the customer service, nothing was ever too much trouble. Technical support and training was clear, helpful and responsive.’

rob Burke, Deputy Principal Hervey Bay State High School
