Euston Skills Centre

Transforming the space

The Challenge

Creating a visual identity that reflects the essence of a centre is crucial. Euston Skills Centre recently faced the challenge of revamping their signage to better communicate their mission and values. FASTSIGNS St Albans stepped up to the plate, embracing the challenge with enthusiasm and creativity.

Euston Skills Centre recognised the need for new signage to enhance their presence and create a lasting impression.

The Solution

FASTSIGNS St Albans took the initiative to conduct a thorough site survey, meticulously assessing the existing environment. The primary focus was on the exterior and entrance of the building, ensuring that the signage not only captured attention but also conveyed the centre's commitment to construction skills.

A brainstorming session resulted in a unique proposal: Corten Steel. This distinctive material was chosen to create exterior signage that not only emphasised the nature of Euston Skills Centre but also added a touch of rugged elegance. The chosen approach involved an internally illuminated folded sign tray, showcasing the versatility of Corten Steel.

The same material was ingeniously applied to the interior, with flat cut letters strategically fitted on stand-off locators. This not only created a floating effect but also maximised the impact upon entering the reception area, leaving an indelible mark on visitors.

To ensure a cohesive visual language, the FASTSIGNS team went the extra mile by visiting a previous site. This allowed them to review interior wayfinding elements, ensuring that the proposed solutions seamlessly integrated with the brand's existing aesthetics.

For directional signage, FASTSIGNS St Albans combined acrylic and vinyl graphics, ensuring consistency and clarity. Both wall signs and projecting signs benefited from this thoughtful approach, further enhancing the overall visual experience.

The Result

The culmination of FASTSIGNS St Albans' efforts resulted in a signage solution that was not only visually striking but also uniquely representative of Euston Skills Centre's business. This comprehensive approach to signage has transformed Euston Skills Centre, creating a visual identity that stands out in the competitive landscape of skill development centres.

In conclusion, FASTSIGNS St Albans has not just fulfilled the signage requirements of Euston Skills Centre; they've elevated the visual representation of the centre. This project stands as a testament to the power of thoughtful design and strategic material selection in creating a lasting impact.
