Awards a sign of success for Signwave Newtown

A series of interpretation panels and vivid backdrops of World War II images produced on acrylic sheets has won a silver award in the ‘Exhibition Stands’ category at the recent Australian Sign and Graphic Association (AGSA) sign awards. The project took a month to complete and was produced and installed by Signwave Newtown for a temporary exhibition at the Sydney Jewish Museum.

Signwave Newtown also won a silver award for signage work undertaken for Nestle Australia in the ‘any sign produced designed from out of house’ category. This entry took three months to complete and included signage, murals and displays for five levels of the Nestle Australia building.

According to Dean Rowland, Signwave Newtown, the awards are a coup for the centre as they are typically won by large ‘traditional’ sign writing companies.

“We were up against people who had been in the industry for over 50 years, so we are extremely proud that our efforts have been recognised by AGSA” Rowland said.

“Winning these awards has strengthened our presence in the industry. It has also increased credibility for our business with both existing and future clients” Rowland said.
