“Fashions fade, style is eternal.”
Yves Saint Laurent
STYLE OUTSHINES FASHION
It’s easy to taste the allure of new splashes of fashionista design trends… they instantly appeal, sugar coated, transient, beautiful, and are just plain yummy eye candy, nay addictive!
… yep we all love the odd choc treat and slice of tiramisu.

“Fashion you can buy, but style you possess. The key to style is learning who you are, which takes years. ” — Iris Apfel.
Today those lives and shapes are presented here. Reflective, gracious, and time honoured… yet always convergent, dipped in freshness of the future, divergent, instinctive trends and styles.

FONTS AREN’T TO BE ALWAYS TRUSTED
We never just take a font and jazz it..
we check all the fonts clients fwd our way and balance them out.
We then hand-paint lettering that is always carefully spaced and stylishly scaled.
Whether a rich old school cool vintage classic sign,
or fresh, new, joyful minimalist,

… a cute twist of both worlds.
Sign things are made differently here.

This page is all about our Proper Classical Modern signs.
Adding the inspirational NGS twist.
So, with each twist, the project becomes more unique, ‘accented’ and bespoke.
From pure brand ID design, to small signage,
or your local coffee shop,
we love them all equally!

NGS’s SERAINA’S SPIN ON SIGN DESIGN

Seraina shares her thoughts on
Cost-effective design
CREATING BOLD BEAUTIFUL SIGNS
Making London Beautiful.
Over the past 25 years, I’ve contributed to fairly big bold trends in lettering, and distressed wall finishes. Mixing in tweaks that give a design accent is something we at NGS specialise in.
Today, we constantly develop new ‘relic’ or ‘bronze lustre’ surface finishes. We design new typefaces/fonts, that dip into London past, derive foundations, and deliver great, new, brand image, for today’s + future businesses.

EVOLVING NEW IDEAS IS A CONSTANT
We put a lot of fun in our work process. Yet defining new design originality means a lot of soul searching, and digging into our archives at times.
We have huge library of restoration fonts at hand so finding the right fit for a powerful trend-driven capital is part of what we do everyday. We can polish, adjust and tweak any designs you may have.

Classic Serifs, Chunky Blocks & Sweet Scripts.
(Tap image to zoom in).
Adam’s Gold, Slanted ‘Script’.

A family heritage script, in pure Gold.
Storytelling signs:
Working with Adam, at Adret.
Adret’s gold leaf “Script” letters, off Bond Street, imbue the original handwriting of the founder’s beloved grandmother, (who nicknamed Adam ‘Adret‘).
While being mindful of keeping Adam’s emotional bond very much alive in the sign story, we added a little weight and zing, to accent the visual delivery and to embed the calligraphy warmly into the stunning, heritage (‘Bolstered’ Façade and bowed Cuban Mahogany framed window and front), architecture.
“Totally passionate about typography.
Highly recommend, will for sure be using again...”
Adam Rogers ‘Adret’, New Bond Street

A Classic Holland Park House Title.
Fine-line Serif Font with extended width of ‘A’ characters and a swashed ‘Q’ for a bit of visual hold.
There’s a lot going on in this particular painted house number panel above. I coin it ‘helpful, subconscious‘ design feeds.
With fine Roman letters like these, I often look for characters that I can extend a little wider, in order to add a warm voice and importantly, slowing the read down, holding the viewer’s secure attention that bit longer.
For addresses and deliveries it increases the likelihood of deliveries coming to the right home.
Subtle, psychologically aware design.
Contemporary Twist Signwriting.
Richness of past. Today’s fresh.
