The Masons Arms in Solihull is a Grade II listed building and so we had to develop a sensitive signage scheme in keeping with the architecture.

​

The house name and amenity wording were sign written directly to the building, with the existing 3D coat of arms pictorial sign, delicately refurbished with a hand painted finish.

​

The external signage was kept very traditional, however with the internal signage we were able to be more playful. We produced built up galvanised steel letters with a red halo for the back bar. In the restaurant area we installed a whimsical 'FOOD' sign. This incorporated rust finish built up letters for the 'F' and 'D', complete with a full sized old fashioned bicycle, using the tyres to make the letter 'O' in food.

​

We were also asked to create a 'local story' wall mural showing the heritage of Solihull. We designed a bespoke piece of artwork, referencing the local industry, history and architecture.
