Winner of The Craftsman Award
Morgan Signs
The Holly Blue
Morgan’s project at the new build Holly Blue in Basingstoke is an outstanding example of the traditional sign maker skills – traditional sign writing, gold leafing and wood carving plus the creation of the post-mounted and free-standing sculptures from stainless steel wire. “Absolutely brilliant.”
Highly Commended
DMA Signs
Wind Mitigation Scheme, Manchester
An unusual project for a signmaker, but delivered with great skill by DMA. Each of the three screens is over 8m tall and consists of two anodized panels, water-cut to achieve the complex design patterns. DMA also designed and managed the complex installation. “A demonstration of the ability of sign makers to adapt their skills to meet unusual challenges.”
SD Signs
Botham’s Bakery, Whitby
The brief was to create a sign that would be in keeping with the age of the building and SD opted for a cast iron bracket incorporating a traditional-style hanging sign. “Well executed and right on brief”.
