More about how Think Tank helps you get your signwriting sorted...

The right designs and materials

Because we are designers as well as sign makers, we will recommend the correct designs and materials for your project.

Guardians of brand integrity

If you have brand guidelines, we take them seriously and will not bastardise your brand identity. We work within large organisations' brand guidelines all the time.

Reliable project managers

We're super-reliable project managers as much as signwriters. We've never let any of our clients down, whether it be extra suggestions, price or deadlines. We won't let you down either.

Structured process so nothing slips through the gap

We use a structured process to provide clarity and assurance:

1. Site check/consultation (if required)
2. Provide samples
3. Quote
4. Artwork
5. Test prints (if required)
6. Manufacture
7. Installation

Big on honesty and transparency

When we quote, we provide detailed, transparent information. If your sign is going to be produced with 9-year, premium quality vinyl, we'll say so. We won't do the all-too-common signwriters' trick of using cheap, short-life products and disguising it by not disclosing it in the quote. [We actually know of one large sign company that won a national rebranding contract with a cheap price by using 3-year instead of 9-year vinyl.]

Our guarantee to you...

We're professionals - we have a high standard of workmanship and use only the best materials. No product failure or "near enough is good enough" attitudes here! When you deal with us, your project will be thoroughly discussed to ensure we have correctly interpreted your needs. Then an accurate quote provided before any work is undertaken. No hidden extras!

Testimonials

"As a commercial property owner, we always look for quality and efficiency to achieve a high standard of presentation within our buildings. Whether the job is big or small, we are always confident to leave it in Sarah's capable hands to provide a friendly, fast and excellent service. From carpark signage to billboard designs to creative frosting and more, we are very thankful of all the great work Think Tank has provided and we would highly recommend their services to any interested party."
Mikayla Seinafo, Rapaki Property Group

"Working with the team at Think Tank was an absolute pleasure. Sarah was easy to work with and showed an excellent understanding of what we required and the challenges involved with delivering it. Our brand has some very specific colours that can be hard to reproduce digitally, however Sarah was very solution focused, came up with some great suggestions for us, and ultimately provided a great outcome. I would definitely recommend Think Tank Creative to anyone looking for good quality, effective signage - and great advice and experience too."
Rachel Simon, Loyalty New Zealand (Fly Buys)

"Retail Food Group is a leader in the café industry in new Zealand. In 2006 we rebranded our cafés throughout New Zealand and needed a reliable project manager to assist us with this extensive project. Sarah fitted the bill and helped us reach our goals on time and within cost guidelines and has continued to supply us with ongoing signage advice and customer care. We are delighted with her professional manner and responsive approach to meet deadlines. If you're looking for someone to assist with signage projects small or large, we would recommend Sarah to streamline your project hassle free."
Bram Milne-Rodrigues, Retail Food Group

"Sarah and Greg at Think Tank Creative did an amazing job signwriting our new van. We wanted to put our company name and phone number on the vehicle to advertise our "Gas Appliance Installation and Servicing" business. Sarah and Greg took this idea to a whole new level giving the van a "WOW" factor! When I first saw the design idea I thought it was too big and bold. I was not at all sure about it. However I was reassured that they know what they are doing and that the design would attract attention and draw a lot of interest in our business. I have to say Sarah and Greg were right, and a big thank you to you both. We get calls all the time from customers who have seen the van with the big blue flames. This has proven to be a great investment and it's advertising we own (and won't have to renew each year). I can highly recommend Think Tank Creative, they are the experts and they know what works."
