Adidas Shoe Boxes

2011-08-15T18:53:00.000-07:00

Stadium Signs were asked by Elite Sports Properties to manufacture giant adidas shoe boxes to launch the newly renovated Bourke Street Mall store in Melbourne's CBD.

In the early hours of a cold Melbourne morning we set up giant shoe boxes around the city and adidas surprised unsuspecting passerbys with free left shoes. Their matching right shoe was found inside the new store. Where will they pop up next?

Leigh's big adventure

2011-05-29T20:03:00.001-07:00

Leigh took part in the 5 day
Ingkerreke Commercial MTB Enduro at Alice Springs. This event
was run by Rapid Ascent and had over 220 elite competitors from both Australia and overseas.

The whole family was involved with Pamela, Natalie and Ashley volunteering as Course Marshalls, manning the water stops and generally helping out.

Leigh suffered a blown out front tyre on the 3rd day and a few tumbles on the night ride but came a credible 134th out of some of the world's best MTB riders. Congratulations Leigh - we will be back next year!

Renault F1 Team Day at Sandown Race Track

2010-04-18T18:21:00.000-07:00

To celebrate the Australian Grand Prix and the launch of the new Clio Renault Sport 200 Cup, Renault invited over 400 guests to the "Renault F1 Team Day"at Sandown Race Track.

Thanks to the support of the Renault F1 Team and Renault Sport there was an exciting range of activities in an action packed afternoon.

Stadium Signs produced the look that Renault required for this important event. The branding consisted of wide format graphics installed to the interior of the pit garages where F1 cars were displayed and guests were entertained. The exteriors were decorated with 40m of mesh fabric displaying the Renault branding, with corlute branding on the stairways. Media backdrops were created for the staging with individual A boards produced for the collector's vehicle displays. Marquee signage and vehicle decals were also provided to complete the package.

The event was a huge success and Stadium Signs are proud to have played an intregal part in creating the atmosphere.

Fantastic building and window signage

2010-02-17T19:57:00.000-08:00

Wow we are flat out - besides our ongoing committments to the MCG and Etihad we have been doing lots of building signage - must be something in the air!

Late last year we completed three large format window digital prints and building signage for The Rock Garage in Upper Ferntree Gully. These guys were fantastic to work with and have a terrific business - their store is chock a block with rock instruments and the guys really know what they are talking about.

Whatmough Audio asked us to redesign and produce their massive pole sign on Ferntree Gully Road - these are the people who manufacture the best audio systems in Australia and their home cinemas are second to none. Since we completed their new signage their business has increased tenfold - customers are asking them "when did you move here" in fact they have been in this location for years but with ineffective signage.

OMA Shop Fitters - another fabulous local company who work for major retailers both here and overseas, have moved location to Bayswater and wanted building signs that would be seen from a long way away - we produced simple but effective building signage that have done the trick.

Cricket Season 2009/2010

2010-01-14T21:41:00.000-08:00

The end of 2009 was flat out for Stadium Signs. We wrapped up the AFL season and got stuck straight into the cricket at the MCG. As well as producing and installing all of the parapet and behind wicket signage, trivisions, sightscreens and corporate suite signage we also produced and installed the sponsored boundary rope. We worked right up to Christmas Eve for the Boxing Day Test and were back on the ground on New Years Eve. Not much rest over this busy period!

Stadium Signs were also responsible for producting and installing the stage backdrops and signage for the mock cricket match at Federation Square on Boxing Day as well as signage for the outfield at the MCG.

Other event signage included Werribee and Portsea Polo Days which were huge successes for our clients.

We look forward to a busy and exciting 2010 - bring it on

Betfair signage at Mildura racecourse

2009-09-02T19:27:00.000-07:00

Stadium Signs recently completed building and installing Betfair signage at Mildura racecourse. The guys built a large Betfair sign at the start of the straight - 2.4 x 9.6metres. The ground was so dry that the hole digger got stuck, the hole was filled with water and left overnight before the job could be completed. The other signs were relatively trouble free and the guys enjoying a leisurely 8 hour journey back home.

All good fun

Pamela

Lots of signs

2009-07-27T17:35:00.000-07:00

We produced these tear drop banners for Ay-Up Lighting - they took them to cycling events in Canada, USA and the UK.

The Vegemite campaign was created by Mindshare, creative by JWT and signs by Stadium Signs. We installed these huge signs in the Fan Gallery at the MCG plus parapet signage on the ground in time for last weeks AFL game. Cheers Pamela

crashed

2009-07-19T19:14:00.000-07:00

I have ridden all over the world in all sorts of conditions and never had an accident like this one. It was really stupid - I was crossing a railway line and managed to get a big piece of glass stuck in the front tyre of my MTB - I pulled it out and decided to keep riding - subsequently I went over the handlebars onto my face. I was knocked out and very confused for around 20 minutes. Luckily I was with my Fiancee's son who rang his father. I ended up with bruised ribs, black eye and a huge egg on my head, the worst thing was that I suffered headaches and vertigo for 7 days. So the lesson is.......................

race results and new event

2009-07-13T17:01:00.000-07:00

We had a terrific time at Forrest - the weather was kind to us, there was a few showers so the tracks were quite slippery but managable. The race was around Marriners Track which is quite technical with fabulous berms and challenging drop offs. Leigh and Ashley (12 yo) went really well - the results were: 7 laps in 6:01:04 with an overall placing of 47 -that is pretty good out of a field of 56 - Ashley was the youngest competitor. Steven and Andrew completed 8 laps in 6:21:48 for an overall placing of 38.

We stayed Sunday night in Forrest and it rained all night - drove to Apollo Bay the next day for breakfast then a lovely drive on the Great Ocean Road back to Melbourne.

The next event is Sunday July 26 - 2009 Chase the Sun- Round 3. This is a 6 hour MTB race at Lysterfield including the Commonwealth Games Track. Once again Ashley and Leigh are competing - this time their team is called Stadium Signs. Steven is booked in but we are not sure if he is riding solo or not.

Here at work we are flat out getting parapet signs ready for the MCG football, plus 3 vehicles and lots of bits and pieces.

cheers

Leigh and Ashley are competing in the Forrest 6 hour MTB race on July 5th - their team name is Fat Guts and Maggot. Steve Lane and Andrew are competing as well - their team name is Pivotal Power. I am on the support team in the Taj Mahal marquee (feed and keep them warm). The boys from Stadium Signs are all at the MCG today installing the Telstra Trivision. Tomorrow they all go to the country to install Betfair signs at country racecourses - one team to Wangaratta and one to Swan Hill. We have just put on a new team member, Steve Van Teylingen - he is terrific - all the boys now have purple polo shirts and warm vests with our new branding. Wow it is windy here today - blowing a gale actually.
gotta go
