Some people say that Melbourne has some of the worst signage in the world. They say that driving anywhere is a nightmare unless you know the roads like the back of your hands, that it’s impossible to find what you’re looking for most of the time. To that I say ‘rubbish’. Alright, so maybe the directions on our roads aren’t the best, but when it comes to basically every other form of signage, Melbourne owns it.
All you have to do is look down a laneway to see that artistic flare runs rampant through the streets of this amazing city. Any Melbournian you talk to will tell you that Melbourne is the cultural heart of Australia, and I’m not one to disagree. With so much talent, then, it’s hardly surprising that a lot of would-be artists channel their natural ability into graphic design. This, and a combination of highly trained and experienced companies, are the reasons why would get such fantastic business signs in Melbourne.
Truly, nowhere else in Australia will be able to give you and your business the boost it needs through creative, innovative, edgy signs as the ones I’ve seen Melbourne companies create. The fact that this is such a little known secret is almost depressing, which is one of the reasons I’m writing about it. To put the word out there, to show everyone what we’ve got. I find it completely insane that people are willing to export, to pay companies in the US or India, to create business signs for them when there are perfectly good companies right here. In fact, with the amount of time and money you’re likely to waste going backwards and forwards between you and them, nine times out of ten it’s going to be easier and cheaper to do it here. Think about it.
