Feline Friendly Signs and Graphics

Signs Express Bristol partnered with You & Meow, Bristol’s first-ever cat café, to blend the café’s distinctive Japanese-inspired aesthetic with modern, eye-catching visuals that would draw people in from the bustling streets of Bristol.

The Brief

The project required refreshed window graphics and signage that captured the calming, playful essence of her café, a place where customers can unwind with a coffee and enjoy the company of cats.

From the start, Eve had a clear vision: she wanted her café’s signage to reflect the tranquil style and mindful energy found in Japanese culture. Working closely with Eve, Ben Walker, owner of Signs Express Bristol, helped shape a project that would bring this to life through soft tones, natural forms, and thoughtful design choices.

“Our cats here at the café share fairly similar backgrounds and have come to us for safety, love and affection,” Eve explained. “Due to the increasing cat population, shelters are struggling. Our cats now have a forever home surrounded by people who love and adore them — and we wanted the design to reflect that story.”

Cat 2

Our Solution

Using Eve’s ideas as the foundation, the in-house design team at Signs Express Bristol developed a series of graphics that combined soft, flowing Japanese motifs with modern branding elements. The new window graphics feature subtle patterns that play beautifully with natural light while maintaining visibility and privacy — a key consideration for both the cats and their guests.

Alongside the window design, additional interior and exterior signage was installed to ensure the café’s look was cohesive and welcoming from every angle. The team scheduled installation times carefully to fit around the café’s hours.

A Collaborative Process

Ben and the team at Signs Express Bristol pride themselves on making every project a true collaboration. From initial concept through to installation, they worked closely with Eve to make sure the final design captured the personality of You & Meow perfectly — balancing creative flair with practicality.

As with all café environments, the signs also needed to be durable and easy to maintain. By using high-quality vinyl and specialist print finishes, the team delivered a long-lasting solution that looked beautiful and could stand up to daily use.

“I had my graphics designed, printed and installed by Signs Express Bristol for Bristol's first Cat Café shop front. Very professional approach but also amazing, friendly, welcoming customer service. These guys really care about getting the product right from start to finish, to the highest standard. They weren’t pushy with sales like some companies — just focused on making sure the customer is satisfied. I’ll definitely use them again. Absolutely 5-star service!” "
