The Concept Gym Newcastle packs a punch

/ the Concept Gym/

The Think Team were at their best with this fitout at The Concept Gym.

There were so many interesting signs and displays that were custom made for the gym. From the moment you step out of your car you are met with the stunning figures and bright colours that just make you want to go inside and workout.

Here we achieved this great impact with the combination of one way vision, which allows light into the shop but you can see outside from the inside, fresh yellow and routed ACM sign for the main sign.

Step inside and it is just amazing!

Everywhere you look there are inspirational quotes and messages urging you to strive for your best and to keep going, never give up.

 
 

Walls, doors, windows even the equipment was used as a blank canvas.

 
 

Hand painted messages, posters, decals and canvases adorn the walls

Custom made canvases were made for the gym and hung, posters designed, decals laminating timber, punching bags or the lockers or even the toilet doors were applied. Each message was hand painted adding a personal touch, as if one of the members had drawn it themself.

We are so proud of this job and it was such a lot of hard work but soo much fun especially because of the great crew that work at the gym and helped us in any way that they could.

The logo design was kept clean and minimal, using colour and the bevelled constructions as the visual point

Creating another dimension gives the logo a greater depth and more substance

This style was carried through the whole marketing design

 
 

The use of a mobile billboard was not over cluttered as we kept the vehicle graphics in the same minimal manner

Both the website and business cards carried this feel of clean space and strength

Pacific Holden has Courtesy wrapped up

/ PACIFIC HOLDEN/

Recently we applied new signage to Pacific Holden Gateshead's Customer Courtesy Vehicle. This not provides a great service to us the customers, but acts as a mobile advertising billboard as their happy customer drive around in this Astra.

 
 

The vehicle wrap was kept in same design as Pacific Holden's other vehicles 

This makes it easy to recognise and a memorable advertisment

 
 

Bold lettering, easy to read, a slight angle for a dramatic effect, and simple colour scheme with a band of red to grab your attention, is all that was needed for this sign to work.

 

As one of the newest Holden dealers in the Hunter Region, the friendly staff at Pacific Holden are there to assist you with any service, new and used vehicles or parts enquiry that you may have. 

They are located in Gateshead, near Newcastle and Cardiff and service the surrounding regions of NSW.

They boast a modern showroom and large display areas which allow customers to casually browse the great range of Holden Vehicles. Friendly staff are specialists who are proud of their association with General Motors Holden, are very helpful. They were easy to talk to and were happy to help out in any way even if it was just moving cars or cleaning the car for us before we applied the signs, and giving it an extra chamois so it was definitely dry for us.

“Whether you are looking for new or demo car, or a certified pre-owned vehicle, Pacific Holden is the right place to visit. We’re sure that you’ll find what you’re looking for on our lot. However, if you don’t, let us know what you are looking for, and we’ll find the perfect vehicle suiting your needs. You can also browse our large inventory of new, used and certified preowned vehicles online; we’re sure you won’t be disappointed!”
 

The Crepe Myrtle Tea & Coffee Rooms Stroud

/ The Crepe Myrtle Tea & Coffee Rooms/

A splash of colour, easy listening music, great coffee and food that's exactly the experience you get at the Crepe Myrtle in Stroud. Situated at  63 Cowper Street (The Bucketts Way) Stroud between the historic Court House- Museum and picturesque Post Office, this quaint coffee shop is a must stop on your travels.

The Think Team went on the journey with the owners Judy and Kerry in the building of this spectacular shop.

 
 
 

Collaborating with the Myrtle team, this stunning brand concept came to life.

Judy loves colour so pinks, purple, greens were combined against pure white to create a fresh vibrant feel.

Once we had the logo we were able to design business cards, booklets, pamphlets, email signatures, signs, menus anything and everything they required.

 
 
 

Custom signage

Of course you cannot have a premises without signage! Each sign was custom designed just for the Crepe Myrtle from the billboards to the toilet doors even the welcome mat

 
 

Custom artwork

Out team were delighted to be working with such stunning artworks and manipulating them into masterpieces decorating walls inside and out in various techniques

 
 
 

All around the shop there are beautiful images and artworks. At the back entrance of the building we created this stunning effect by installing a fake wall, continuing the image over the doors and windows made the image flow into the shop. 3D canvases were placed on top of the stunning pink horizon to create depth and contrast

 

Custom made canvases

Inside the walls are adorned with canvases we printed and custom manufactured in house

 
 

Custom Branding

The Crepe Myrtle produce their own jams, spreads, biscuits, sweets and dressing, so of course these had to be labelled as well. Along with stationary, menus and signage.

So we had to design and adapt the logo for more creative branding badges.

 

Photography 

Photography shoots were organised to capture the Crepe Myrtle Kitchen's unique flavours and authenticity. Each room were shot along with retail therapy room, the inside and outside of the premises, food, produce, and individual

NO standing, only dancing @ RYDC

/ Robyn Yvette Dance Centre/

Robyn Yvette Dance Centre has a brand new home

at 180 Salamander Way Salamander Bay.

Their purpose built facilities are fantastic. The Think Team helped Lance and Robyn design the interior and exterior signage of the building.

 
 

Firstly though their old logo needed a bit of a refresh. Nothing major but a change of colour, fresher vibrant purple, and a more energetic dance position, and we were ready to go.

 
 

Next came the signs. We had such a big canvas on the front exterior of the building to work with, it was great. Routed letters combined with the vibrant purple band were used as a beacon to show where they were from the street view.

 
 
 

Designing the concept for the front entrance, which we believe had the most impact we created this beautiful imagery.

We wanted the experience to be memorable and believed the dancers would be able to relate and relive their own experiences as they stood backstage waiting to go on, just by looking at the image.

 
 
 

Stepping onto the stage through the doors, elegance and simplicity was the focus point. Clean imagery once again telling a story that was relatable to the students was important.

Custom stars decals were applied to the doors for a bit of class and personality.

"Just Dance" change room was beautified with wallpaper, this gorgeous shot of the ballerinas getting ready, against the rich timber flooring compliments the relaxed vibe of the dance centre.

 
 

For a more tactile feel we used 3D lettering on the counter sign, subtle but this just creates a bit more depth to the sign

 
 

Just dance

Sportsclique signed and contained ready to kick off

/ sportsclique/

Sports Clique opened their doors to the public outside the Azzurri Club and The Concept Gym at Highfields.

We were lucky enough to team up with Joel and design some bright and fun signage for them creating quite an impact on arrival. Magic was made using historical images of soccer legends such as Maradona,Zinedine Zidane , and clever posterised designs, turning the once boring shipping container into a work of art.

 

Obviously Joel is a mad soccer fan, so as you walk inside the container you are surrounded by more legends

• Johan Cruyff (puma legend) 

• Pele (puma legend) 

• Eusebio (puma legend) 

• Neymar jnr (current player) 

• Roy Keane (Manchester united legend) 

• Ray Baartz (Joel's uncle and ex Socceroo) 

• Ronaldo (old Brazilian Ronaldo not current Portuguese player Ronaldo) 

• Zinedine Zidane 

• Antoine Griezmann (current puma player) 

Baggio makes a striking entrance but not before he takes a quick selfie with Royce

 

Transforming the dull change room into a work of art was achieved by layering more legends,with bright colours and hand drawn sketches. The walls were prepared and covered with our printable wallpaper. As you can see this material can turn nothing to something it only takes a bit of imagination and the balls(excuse the pun) to be different.

 
 

We can't forget the outside. Kept these signs near the practice grounds at Azzurri simple and easy to read, but watch this space as there are more designs on the horizon for this canvas.

 
“The team at think graphic were amazing to work with from start to finish, they provided me with a premium product at a very affordable price, and did it all with a smile on their faces and a good sense of humour. I’d highly recommend them to anyone”

Slam Engineering new home

New shopfront for Slam Engineering

Recently Slam Engineering moved location to Unit 5, 22 Bradmill Avenue Rutherford NSW.

 

For us this involved firstly designing the concept for the new premises keeping in with the branding we already had in place and implementing this practically onto the building itself.

 
 

Signage consisted of exterior building signs, car park allocation signs, front entrance signs, internal wall sign and a promotional pullup banner.

For more impact we laminated the front entrance with frosted etch and placed their logo dramatically to complete the structured impression.

They don't really get many walk ins so the interior office space was kept to a minimum in regards to signage with a few sneaky logos selectively placed.

“Think Graphic have been an awesome business partner to Slam Engineering. Our graphic designers Chanelle and Royce have understood exactly what we wanted from designing our logo, setting up our web-page and social media functions to signage around new office space. Being an engineering consultancy firm we think numbers and logical outcomes, whereas Think Graphic add the creativity and style that we just don’t get.
They are a pleasure to deal with and always there to help.”

St Joseph's Bounce back for kids

/ St Josephs Primary School/
 

The children at St Josephs were delighted at their new Value's signage that we designed for their playground area.

We were contacted by Jennifer Edstein to make use of their blank brick wall that they had near the children's playground. A few ideas were thrown around then the Bounce Back values were decided upon.

Bright and colourful, friendly and lots of movement were the characteristics we were trying to achieve for this design, which I believe we achieved.

The signs definitely brightened up a once dull and uninspiring space.

“Just wanted to thank you both for your efforts with our signage. The visitors were very taken with both lots and several asked who did them, especially the Values signage. I really appreciate that you worked in with our timeline. Great job as usual.”
— Regards Jennifer

The images are some that Celeste was thoughtful enough to snap and send to us. Thanks Celeste.
