Seen the "we don't accept AI artwork" posts going around?
Yeah, we're not doing that.

AI's great for ideas. Terrible for final files.

So if you've been told to go away with your AI logo, come talk to us instead. We're not the AI police.

Full story on the blog 👇

A lot of sign shops are refusing AI artwork outright. We're not one of them. Here's an honest look at what AI's actually good for, where it falls short for signage, and how we use it ourselves.

Entries are open now. Follow , share this post, and tag your dog owning mates to get in the running.

There's a dodgy habit in the design and signage world. Some studios hold your artwork files hostage, keeps you dependent, keeps you coming back whether you want to or not.

We don't do that.

Once you've paid for the design, it's yours. Every time. Even if you never use us again.

That's not a special deal or a loyalty thing. That's just how it should work.

Four salons. One building. Zero cold calls.

Good work tends to get noticed, and word travelled fast around after the first salon, and the next three came knocking on their own.

Cut vinyl door and window graphics for , .salon , Luna Blue Studio and .au , all in the one complex on Cook Court, North Lakes.

Nothing flashy about any of these jobs. No lightboxes, no illuminated fascia, just clean-cut vinyl matched properly to each brand. Sometimes the simplest signage is the best signage, and there's something satisfying about getting the basics dead right.

Throw us the ball.

started out with hat-burning workshops, soldering irons, felt cowboy hats and fedoras.
We built their original brand around that, a horseshoe E logo, rope borders, earthy tones.

Then the business grew into something bigger and more colourful. Kids' art classes, plant bingo nights, a full suite of creative workshops. Jess took the brand in a whole new direction herself, and when it came time to bring the signage up to match, she came back to us.

Jess runs the best creative space in Brendale, arguably the world, we're not being dramatic. (much)
Girls' night out, mates catching up, date night, she's got a workshop or event for it. School holidays it's all kids' classes keeping the little ones entertained.
Go check them out!

Throw us the ball.

Your ute doesn't stop for smoko.

Tray panels, door graphics and cab signage for and Pooltec Services.
Two different trades, same result, you see them coming from a mile away.

Your vehicle is the cheapest advertising you'll ever own. Might as well make it work as hard as you do.

We love the 3 G's
Gloss, Glass, Graphics.

Printed vinyl window graphics for in North Lakes, long-term digital print, laminated in gloss.
We did the artwork too, so the glass actually looks like it belongs to the brand instead of just wearing it.

If you're after a bathroom or laundry reno done properly, these are the crew, go check them out on Flinders Parade.

Meet our newest project manager. 🐾👧
Karma needed a name on her dog house, so we handed the whole thing over to Daisy.

She wrote the name, picked the colours, helped lay the vinyl with a squeegee, and chose exactly where it went. We just followed instructions.

Family business means family business, even when the boss is three and a half.

Free sticker. There's a catch, it's not for you. 🐾

Every shopfront or window job gets a free "Dogs Welcome" sticker, made in your brand colours and fonts.
Totally optional, just a bit of fun if you want one. Only rule, it goes at dog height so they can read it.

Getting shopfront or window signage done? Get in touch, yours is already included if you want it.

The example used in this post was for our good mates over at .lab in North Lakes
