Name signages for that special someone...

Names, names, and more names!

 

Let's face it. When you receive something with your name or face on it, or the name and face of someone special to you, you will be less likely to chuck it out of the window.

 

With this concept in mind, we were inspired to design a series of birthday and name signages which could be a thoughtful gift for your "jiemeis and xiongdis" or family and friends.

Not only are the personalised birthday cards, they are also little namestands for the office, room doors, or anywhere else you would like to post your name!

 

Enjoy reading the little anecdotes on the different characters below!!

 

 

First of all, let us introduce the quirky guy, Chee Hai, who is otherwise known as the karaoke king.

 

 

And then, there is Giselle, the sweet girl-next-door who is also a scientist who studies psychology. Don't ask me why... but somehow, that image of Dali's cloud covered walls with an oversized stuff armchair comes to mind!

 



 

 

And there's Hwee Leng, the artistic photography avid! Managed to subtly include the name of the sender, Candice, a dear friend who commissioned me to design this for her as the artwork on the canvas! We chose less conventional and more quirky colours for her as a reflection of her personality.

 

And we have Jingjun, the girl who studied in Sydney Australia! ;)

 



 

 

And here's the youngest feature here in this post! Qianyu, a lovely, lovely baby girl with an all things pink, sweet and baby theme!

 

We are in the midst of deisgning more designs for babies! Look out for more baby cot and door signages coming up soon! :)

 

 

And here's Angela... an amazing teacher with a immense heart! The happy birthday is written in 2 different language, Chinese and Thai! Yup! This amazing lady could speak and write fluent thai!

"geng mak mak!"

 

 

To travel, the beach... this signage is designed especially for Sharon, the girl who loves travelling!

This mini signage was the inspiration for one of our later signages for Samuel & Adelene.

 

We were just given 2 words to design this signage..

 

YELLOW, yellow and more YELLOW... and music! (ok, that's 4 words) Yup! Wenjun LOVES yellow, as one could guess from this pretty yellow printed background!

 



 

 

It was quite funny when asked to come up with a design for Peggy as the only word that we were given was that she's really pretty and her nickname is "chio bu!"..

 

As such, we decided to come up with a signage that is all girlish and pretty!!!

 

 

Lastly, for now, holding on to a huge calculator, Yoke Chin is an accountant who LOVEs travelling!!

 

Pass it on!

I've titled this post "pass it on!" as the signages featured here are powered by friendship and kinship!

 

These signages are commissioned by people who wanted to give a unique gift to the special people in their lives.

 

The 1st signage is by Jenny for her niece, who will be getting married at Wawawa, a bistro at Bedok Reservoir. (which, btw, seems like a really cool place to check out!) seen from the pix that were shared..

 

Through the email exchanges, I was really touched by the great relationship between Jenny and her fun-loving niece!

 

 

 

This was probably one of the most fun signages that I have done recently, partly due to the easy-going nature of Bernard, the guy who commissioned this for his friend.

 

The couple met each other while they were working at TCC, then known as The Coffee Connoisseur.

Set at a cafe, with TCC's trademark brown feature wall, the couple were peeping from the wall showing playfulness and innocence. The couple love dogs, and we added in 2 dogs sitting in plush sofas having coffee!

 

 

This concept is ideal for couples who are fun-loving and who know each other either from workplace, school, or even a club or society / association!

There's something about the friends you made in school that could never be comparable to the friends you make later in life, which is why my primary and secondary school friends remain my closest friends ever till date. Special thanks to the wonderful, wonderful friends who journeyed with me through all these years!!

(Yes! special thanks to my primary school friends whom I've known for decades: Suduan, Xiuwen, Liling, Veron, "Xiaozhang"...

and my dear, dear, secondary school friends: "Ah Dut," "Zu-an", "Rissy", "Chai Chai"... :)

 

I wasn't joking when I say that I was genuinely touched when Adeline shared the story of her friendship with Huiyi, her best friend.

Her one sentence about their friendship in our correspondence sums up the depth of their relationship:

 

 "If I only need that ONLY ONE friend, I will choose her!!"

 

After much discussion, we decided to focus on the fact that both of them are always there to provide a listening ear for each other as seen from the old school "telephone" and the clock. (Yes! they often talk to each other till 3am in the morning!)

 

 

This signage was commissioned for her best friend's 21st birthday!

Feel free to contact us if you would like us to design something for that special someone's

special day!

 

 

Presenting one of the mini wedding signages! We would be featuring some mini name signages in our next post..

 

This was for commissioned as a wedding gift by our client for his friend who were both doctors, Christian, and who loves travelling!

 

 

Next, is Phyllis, who chose the following two designs for her friends' wedding. The 1st design was first commissioned by another of our clients, Aggie, who wanted a signage inspired by sakura. This signage was ideal as Japan was of special significance to the couple, and the second signage was set in a blissful home!
