(Out) House Sign 2007-12-03 02:52:27 From time to time, a customer will ask for something different - for example, a house sign for inside the house. With a sign like this on your bathroom door, its almost like a jungle holiday every time you go to use the loo.
Of course, we do all sorts of signs - contact us to discuss an unusual or exciting sign idea - something just for you.

1000 Signs - Hanging Signs 2007-12-17 10:16:58 Clover Signs would like to thank all their customers for thier custom this year. We have officially made 1000 signs so far since January. What more, the sign which made it 1000 was our first hanging sign we sold:
We gave the customer a nice discount as well. We make the brackets ourselves, as we could not find a supplier in the UK who could produce them at the correct quality and price.
If you are interested, you can find a whole page of hanging signs on our website.

School Signs 2008-03-08 06:38:48 Most of our work is making small to medium sized signs. However, sometimes we do get a request for a really big sign. St Antony’s Primary School
asked us to make a 7 metre long sign with 3-D letters and sculpted butterflies.
Here is how their sign looked before we replaced it:
Here are the [...]
Dr Who House Signs 2008-02-25 11:00:54 If you can tell me (without looking it up on Wikipedia!) what the TARDIS stands for, then this is the sign for you:
We first designed a very plain sign with just the words “The Tardis” in gold, but the customer informed us that we were not creative enough. With that in mind we set [...] Read more:House
Herbie House Signs 2008-02-12 06:07:31 When we were asked to paint a picture of Herbie
onto a sign, we decided it would be far better to just make the car instead!
Unfortunately it is one of the worst photo’s we have taken, so it doesn’t look great, but keep in mind that this is a completely flat sign. It’s amazing [...] Read more:House
Pub and Hotel Signs 2008-02-07 10:47:33 Because we now make our own hanging brackets, we can now supply you with pub signs and hotel signs.
Not everyone needs a bracket, but we are now setup to make large signs with the correct hardware for hanging.
Here is a small one we did for someone in France. We suggested that they have the phone [...] Read more:Hotel
Elvis House Signs 2008-02-02 02:23:31 Yes, the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll has appeared on a sign at last. Someone managed to rename their house “Graceland” and purchased this large sign to make the meaning clear.
Elvis
himself is chip carved into the sign and gilded with real gold leaf, as are the letters.
Now for all you Elvis fans wanting [...] Read more:House
Artwork on Slate 2008-01-22 02:35:29 We do not make slate signs anymore - we just cannot keep up with the work and the HDU house signs are so popular.
The only thing we will do with slate if someone really wants, is artwork. We did this for a company we know in Germany called Sannerz Designs.
You take a picture (in this [...] Read more:Artwork

Carved House Signs 2008-01-16 11:25:53 Sorry for not posting for so long. November was a crazy month, with everyone ordering signs for Christmas presents, December was about the same, and for some reason, the “post Christmas slump” has not happened yet.
One sign we did for a Christmas Present was Widgeon Close. The customer wanted to make sure that [...] Read more:House

Acrylic Paint for Signs 2008-03-28 07:27:39 I just wrote an article about acrylic paint, which tells in broad strokes why it is so great for signs.
We often get questions like “Why is my sign unvarnished? What can I do to protect it?”
The answer is simple - nothing! The acrylic paint we use is great for outdoors, and because we [...] Read more:Acrylic

Slate House Signs 2008-04-03 05:18:19 Clover Signs would like to announce that we are no longer making slate house signs. The simple reason is this: Our carved house signs have become so popular that we cannot concentrate on 2 things at once.
Slate
and stone is still a great choice for a house sign, so we would like to recommend Rustic [...] Read more:House
Custom Signs - The Power of Attraction 2008-04-01 03:14:41 It doesn’t take a sign maker to tell you that having nice signs outside your hotel, pub or restaurant helps attract customers - but most people would be surprised by how big the difference is.
In July 2007, we were contacted by The Old Thatch Teashop on the Isle of Wight and asked to design some [...] Read more:Attraction
Home Bar Signs 2008-04-10 06:36:19 It has become popular to have a home bar these days. Once you have the room, equipment and drinks, a hanging home bar signs is all you need to finish it off.
We make the brackets ourselves as it is very hard to get custom metal work done these days. The signs are all made [...]
Sign Making for a Piece of Cake 2008-04-17 10:09:36 When selling signs, we mostly get the payment by credit card. However, when Gina from Gina’s Cakes asked us to make them a sign, we couldn’t resist. We accepted payment for half the sign, then charged the other half in “cake.”
Gina was thrilled with her part of the deal and the cake was most delicious! [...]
Country Estate Signs 2008-04-25 05:16:03 Even if you own a private estate, a set of signage (as long as they are nice signs) will only enhance the property. Clover Signs was recently commisioned to make 16 signs for a country estate.
Here is what the client already had:
And this is what we did:
Those are just a couple examples of the signs. [...] Read more:Country

Pet signs 2008-06-24 05:05:19 Usually when someone requests a house sign which is to incorporate a beloved pet, that means painting its picture onto one of our traditional house signs
. However, when we received the order for the sign below, I wasn’t sure I wanted to see the picture of those particular pets, much less meet them [...]
Bed and Breakfast signs 2008-06-30 10:30:21 Although primarily a traditional house sign maker, Clover Signs has also expanded into the business market, making pub signs
