4. Wembley Stadium – Rugby World Cup
This year’s Rugby World Cup saw
some thrilling matches. As the host
nation to a sporting event with a
global audience, strong branding
and imagery were also centre stage.
PVC covered the Wembley
walls, tunnels, perimeters and
hoardings, a great temporary
solution for an epic occasion.
5. Adidas
Our design and production for the Adidas Originals London store to
launch their 50 Supercolor Superstar trainers was rated in the top
three best window displays, alongside New York and Paris. Vibrant and
full of fun, the display reflected the brand’s vitality, perfectly showcased
by Pharrell. A dynamic display and an outstanding accolade.
An acrylic lightbox wheel with
acrylic rods as spokes highlighted
and matched exactly the range of
50 colours available. The interior
table continued the wheel theme
with timber dowels wrapped in
mic hi-fi, cut to shape graphics
and illuminated with LED lighting.
Lettering cut from frosted vinyl
was applied to the windows while
foamex screen frames displayed
images of Adidas brand assets.
6. DN&CO
This giant 87 metre x 15 metre
banner was installed in 19 sections
by five abseillers over a period
of two weeks. Fitted to Service
Graphics’ bespoke track system, it
is precision-perfect, smooth and
durable. A simple, clear statement
professionally presented to create a
strong backdrop to renovation work.
The first steps in the redevelopment of the BBC’s former
Television Centre got underway with the installation
of this stunning hoarding. Over 100 metres of black
satin aluminium composite material was fitted around
the perimeter of this iconic building in Wood Lane.
Inset with an acrylic diffuser and an LED lighting strip it
created a simple yet sophisticated night feature.
The monochrome lettering feature of
the hoarding was white standoff text
in 10mm foamex applied to a black
background. The result was striking
and sophisticated.
7. Clydesdale Bank
Working alongside the bank’s marketing
team we produced and installed a number
of projects to help boost their brand profile.
Direct to substrate foamex wall graphics and
foamex motifs were backlit with red LEDs. A
raised floor laid with a red carpet completed
the coordinated celebrity style look, offering
clients a gold star experience.
Wapping Hair Studio – Bobbio
This hair studio was transformed by a simple,
yet striking, shop front facia. The back panel
graphic was produced from a vinyl wrap
mount to aluminium composite and the fret
cut letters, also aluminium composite, had
vinyl applied to the face. Poppers were
attached to the back of the letters to attach to
the panel. Clean, strong and contemporary.
By wrapping the bank’s
ATMs in bright, eye-catching
colours and images we
brought artwork to the high
streets. SAV graphics were
applied to walls and window
surrounds, helping to build
brand awareness while
reflecting one of the bank’s
core values – “We care”.
8. Dijon Designs Fujitsu
This eye-catching vehicle
wrap reflects the speed and
interconnectivity of today’s
dynamic world. Printed cast

and durable image. Perfect
production, a seamless finish
and a van showcasing the
power of mobile marketing.
Berkeley Homes
An exceptionally stylish hoarding
that captures the sophistication
of the brand. 150 metres of
unsealed hoarding was installed.
The warm glow effect was
created by printing bronze onto
silver dibond and beige onto
white dibond. Images and large
cut lettering were applied on
site and the headers and kickers
were tailor made for a perfect
moulded finish.
Bronze columns set in silver dibond, lightboxes and offset
graphics created the scene for this exceptionally stylish
hoarding for a major development project. More than
200 sections were produced and installed to create this
streamlined and sophisticated look.
9. Geometry Global
An Emirates Airlines promotion saw some
of London’s most prominent transport
stations adorned with the company’s
distinctive brand colours. Over 24 ticket
barriers were covered in colour matched
self-adhesive vinyl, sealed with a matt
laminate and cut to shape. The stairs
used textured vinyl with floor gloss seal,
while red self-adhesive vinyl with white cut
vinyl shape and lettering was applied to
Greenwich Peninsula’s entrance.
10. Ford
Responsible for branding in 25
Ford Stores across the UK and
Ireland, this site at Warrington

vinyl were applied to the inside of
the glass, lighting up Ford’s logo
and shining a spotlight on the
power of perfect installation.
Abbey Theatre
This outstanding set design created for Mark O’Rowe’s adaption of Hedda Gabler was produced
using three enormous digitally printed stage drapes, two measuring 5 metres x 7 metres and two
of 14 metres x 7 metres. The flexi-floor sealed with a gloss laminate brought real authenticity to
this stunning scene.
BP Babcock
The centrepiece of BP’s timeline stand
replicates its largest umbilical cable in
operation today. Produced from Foga
aluminium modular, it is finished with lambda
prints face mounted to acrylic, direct to PVC
print and cut vinyl. The timeline was split with
graphics printed to the rear panel and on
the inside on the front acrylic panel, adding
greater depth and dimension. Sharing the
stand was the UK’s leading engineering
support services company.
Their stand was custom built with tension
fabric system back graphics allowing for an
easy interchange between different divisions
within the group. Fast, efficient and cost-
effective it provides an ideal solution for a mix
of easily transportable different promotions
and messages within the same structure.

simple technique applied with skill
produces high-impact results.

brand better than bright, fun colours and this
psychedelic window display does just that.

factor to the window. Eye-catching, imaginative
and simply out of this world, the design concept
was continued in the interior with the ceiling and
wall of the lift taking on a real 70s look. Graphics
were produced on self-adhesive vinyl finished
with a crystal seal. The floor graphic used 3M
floor vinyl of pavement grade for durability.

promotional images.
18. Sidhu & Simon
The ‘Boris Bike’, as recognisable around London as the man himself,
has been rebranded for new sponsor, Santander. Sidhu & Simon’s
vibrant concept is set against a 30 metre x 30 metre PVC backdrop of
London’s spectacular skyline. Freestanding icons were produced on
3mm aluminium composite material while the stage fascia logos were
produced on self-adhesive vinyl with matt crystal laminate.
19. Set Square – Smythson
This beautiful retail window display was created using a combination
of wood and marble textured effect vinyl and a 3 tone pantone
colour matched self-adhesive vinyl. They were then carefully applied
to the geometric display concept for a sophisticated and stylish
finish. A true reflection of the brand’s luxury status.
20. Think Tank

creates a perfect picture to showcase
Escentric Molecules’ perfume range.

The display’s silver backdrop was
produced by applying mirror silver vinyl
directly to the glass panel.

vibrant stand brought light to an otherwise grey space.

2 metres tall, silicone all sides and produced on display trevera
form the backdrop, while the pop up counters, with shelves,
are customised with lambda prints for complete coordination.
Puig Prada
This stunning display was rolled out across six locations.
Back panel lambda prints split into sections were
mounted to 5mm foamex with velcro on the reverse and

line with brand colours. Each sleek podium housed a
mechanism to spray perfume at the push of a button.

The opening of their first London showroom
provided a great opportunity to showcase the
company’s quirky style by creating a ‘world of
Willow & Hall’, throughout the space. External
signage with fun messages leads visitors past an
impressive main window with lettering produced
in gold mirror vinyl.
This beautiful door image was set in a cedar
wood finish with gold fret cut lettering offset and
routed. The delicate foliage logo was laser cut
from aluminium.
Self-adhesive vinyl
transforms a simple
door into a stylish
wayfinding solution.

covering, designed by our in-house creative
team. The image was printed directly onto

position. The image is imaginative and
inspirational, reflecting the uniqueness of
each piece of Willow & Hall’s work.

and finishes were used to create a warm
and engaging look and feel throughout the

all to see.
27. Marine Harvest
Scottish Headquarters, Fort William
Marine Harvest, the world’s largest producer of
Atlantic salmon required a graphical solution to

educational environment. This was achieved through

frost window vinyl with a white and grey overprinted
repeating salmon illustration.

never give in’ they did eventually
give up the flag.
