A work of Art for Signs Express

As part of the UK and Ireland's leading sign and graphics company, Signs Express (Peterborough and King's Lynn) has helped to produce the ultimate art and design piece for local artist Zoe Richter. The unique piece of art will be exhibited at the Institute of Astronomy in Cambridge for two weeks from Wednesday 15th May 2013.

The design, based on a parchment scroll called Cepheus, is both a piece of art and a piece of furniture, thus being called 'Street Art Furniture'. The parchment scroll exhibits the 1801 star map of 'Cepheus' The King in the nights sky, from the book entitled; 'Uranographia' by Joannis Elerti Bode. The design of the piece has a musical influence similar to the shape of the harp as the support. This represents the balance of both order and chaos found in the universe. The team at Signs Express (Peterborough and King's Lynn) helped create the design by applying MD5 vinyl material printed with the artist's design onto stainless steel, creating the exact look that Zoe was looking for. Anne Hitch, owner of Signs Express (Peterborough and King's Lynn) commented: 'It was great working alongside Zoe, helping her to create the art piece she was looking for. The design looks amazing and we were thrilled to see the results. People should definitely make a point to see this exhibition, it's certainly an exhibition to inspire you." Signs Express (Peterborough and King's Lynn) offers a complete sign design, manufacture and fitting service in a customer focused environment. The centre's experienced team of sign makers offer professional signage solutions from interior and exterior signs to vehicle graphics, banners and window displays.

We have worked with Signs Express (Peterborough) for approximately 10 years and their support in fulfilling our clients' signage requirements is very important to us. They are very reliable and appreciate that the service they offer to our clients needs to be conducted in line with recognised professional practices and standards to not only protect their reputation but our business's reputation also. We place a lot of trust in the suppliers we use and if they didn't meet our high but realistic expectations of delivering a no-fuss, efficient customer service at all times, we wouldn't use them.

Would definitely recommend to anyone who is thinking of having signs put on their vehicles in the Peterborough area. I had three vans done on three different days, they were quick and efficient, and we're very quick at getting designs done and sent to me for proofing, once I approved the design they were able to fit the vans in on the days I wanted. The vans now look very professional with the designs on them. Overall very good service at a reasonable price!

No delays, mistakes or accidents. They provided us with our signs ( of varying types, sizes, materials and some with elements of extreme technical difficulty) as described, within the price and timescales quoted. The team was amazingly friendly and helpful and the lads who came to fix the signs were quick and efficient ( and also friendly). Can't thank them enough for the job they did for us under time pressure. Absolutely no complaints whatsoever.

I would like to thank you and the team for the excellent full vehicle wrap that you have done on our new car. The impact that it has already had is quite remarkable. You made the process for me very easy, the fact that you coordinated with the design team at my franchise support centre and the vehicle supplier meant that I was able to enjoy my holiday knowing that all was in safe hands.
