At last it’s here! M Shed, the revamped Industrial Museum on Bristol’s harbourside, has opened following nearly 5 years of renovation.

Create Signs were delighted to have been asked to produce and install the external signage and internal wayfinding signs for this historic project. The signage, designed by culture and heritage specialists, SteersMcGillanEves, compliments the fantastic new internal spaces and will dazzle visitors to Bristol’s harbourside and revitalized Museum.

Great to hear that Rio Architects and BDP won awards for the Wales region at this year’s RIBA Awards. We were pleased to work on the signage for two of the winning buildings – the University of Glamorgan Students’ Union (Rio Architects and Vinci Construction) and the University of Wales, Newport (BDP and Willmott Dixon Construction).

It was good to have the director of the BSGA call in to see us recently. Following discussions at the 2011 Sign & Digital UK Show we needed to know if signing up with the UK’s principal trade organisation for the sign industry really can reap benefits for members. We were impressed with ideas for taking the BSGA forward and believe that membership is definitely a 2 way street. We hope that with accreditation Create will benefit from the Association’s experience and support and that we can contribute to making the BSGA a strong and vital industry body.

Nice to see some great pictures of our signs on the website of one of Britain’s leading architects. AWW have some lovely pics of our educational signage at Melksham Oak School, Bristol Skills Academy and Merchant’s Academy.

There’s a lot going on at the University of the West of England at the moment. With fantastic expansion and development projects underway, UWE is set to become one of the largest modern university campuses in the UK. We’ve been busy installing campus-wide external wayfinding at Frenchay and look forward to seeing the transformation of the new campus in the next few years.

This giant inflatable golfball was specially created to fly over the parking areas for the Ryder Cup at Newport’s Celtic Manor.The 4m wide tethered inflatable helped create interest in the St Modwen Glan Llyn regeneration development nearby.

It’s time to party at the University of Glamorgan as the new Union building opens its doors to freshers and returning students. Working with Vinci Construction on this project, we installed main signage and internals for the coffee shop, bar and wallpaper for the chill out area. See more pics of our work at the Student Union here.

Launched in July 2010 the new Create website now contains loads more information and pics showing what we’re all about. We hope you find everything you need to know about us here, if not, give us a bell – we’re a friendly bunch, honestly!

Due to some sporting event happening in South Africa, Wimbledon seemed to have been somewhat overlooked this year. Tennis has been on our minds though as we’ve recently been to lovely Hampton Court to erect some hoarding for the oldest tennis court in use in the world, no less.

For all of us that always have to be somewhere!!
