Adding the inspirational NGS twist. Trad Twist mix of NGS Retro Signs: Fall in love..
TINY DEDICATED TOUCHES ARE THE MARKS OF GENIUS.
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.

The ‘Twist-mix’ of NGS Accent Signs applies a certain something we call pure style.

Retro Chic ‘Torino’ Cafe design for Cafe Murano.
Covent Garden.

A Rum-bling short, tall, high seas story:
No comparison… Cafe Murano Signage Flavours of the voyage.
For this special Samson interior design project in Covent Garden, we added a dash of Trinidad to this clean cut modern stencil element… a classic Roman font became wow.
Worked a treat because it ignites a sense of escape… exotic islands, Blue Mountains, a simple sweetness… especially in Tiramisu, Crema naturale!

NGS’s SERAINA’S SPIN ON SIGN CREATION

Seraina shares her thoughts on the power of Design.
CREATING BOLD BEAUTIFUL, ICONIC SIGNS
History in the making

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.

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

A family heritage script, in pure Gold.
Softer 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

Signs for Home
Our much loved ‘Serif’ house numbers combine it all.

A Classic Holland Park House Title.
Fine-line Serif Font with extended width of ‘A’ characters and a wide ‘O’ 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.

All about Seraina Baumgartner and her journey as a London Sign artist.

Letters and numbers have always fascinated me. One of the first things I consciously wanted to learn was how to write and draw letters.
A NATURAL BORN CREATIVE
So I spent more hours at my little pine desk, filling paper after paper, while listening to Beatles records. Some of those tools are still at my desk and companions in my signwriting kit today. And the Beatles are still on, now joined by Bowie, Herb Alpert and Cumbia classics!
“I started my professional career in the traditional ‘Swiss way’ with a very industrial studio apprenticeship as a screen printer, in Zurich…
