Creation Signs

Toot toot! 🚗

We’re proud to have recently wrapped this vehicle for Inclusive Activity Murihiku – creating a mobile showcase for the incredible work they do across Southland.

Hard to believe this car was maroon when it rolled into our workshop! After the overall transformation, signage was then applied to sides, back and bonnet.

The new graphics brings their brand to life while giving a shout-out to the amazing funders, sponsors and partners who help make inclusive sport and recreation opportunities possible for people with disabilities.

From bold branding to the finer details, we love creating vehicle graphics that get your organisation noticed wherever the road takes you.

A big thank you to the team at Inclusive Activity Murihiku for trusting our Creation crew with the job. Keep an eye out for this one travelling the roads of Southland!

Our wrap with mega bite! In fact, you could say it's 'Jaws-dropping'.🦈

We’re excited to now finally share photos and details of our semi-submersible great white shark wrap which we completed earlier this year – a project which saw our team win a bronze medal at the 2026 Sign Display Awards of Excellence.

Our creative talents were enlisted by Hazmat Productions, an American film company creating a documentary which has recently been released on the Discovery Channel for Shark Week 2026.

Our uber-skilled graphic designer Bradley utilised 3D software to design the wrap to simulate the look of a great white shark.

Initially digitally printed in sample sections, these were applied to the shark to ensure the prints would work together on the 3D model. Once it was determined the overall outcome was achievable, the test prints were removed and the fibreglass model was prepped for application.

The final artwork was pieced together in Photoshop and flattened as a 2D print before being digitally printed in-house with a matte laminate applied.

The graphic was applied in two huge sections onto the sides of the 3D model. The tail, fins and underside of the fins were then applied separately.

It was a highly-technical project with several challenging aspects to navigate – particularly as the shape of the shark went from being very large and broad along the sides to thin at the tail and head.

Our experienced team had to conform the vinyl carefully with heat so it could be stretched and shrunk around the curved surface to ensure the prints seamlessly joined together.

A hatch on top allows a brave person to fit inside the semi-submersible shark decoy. (Don’t panic, airbags are included!)

The result is the 'reel' deal and can be seen in action in this Facebook video: https://www.facebook.com/reel/1018528894503083

🦈 2026 CHAMPIONS! 🦈

Huge congratulations to the Southland Sharks on taking out the 2026 NBL Championship! 🏀🏆

Yesterday’s game against the Wellington Saints was an absolute thriller at ILT Stadium Southland with our lads reigning supreme 104-101!

Our Creation crew has been incredibly proud to support the Sharks all season. And it’s fair to say two of our team have taken their role as ultimate hype fans very seriously!

Putting their professional skillset to excellent use, Nicky and Graham have been busy designing and printing their own Sharks tees and signs, kitting out their parochial families to guarantee plenty of Southland Sharks pride in the stands every home game.

Their creations have attracted plenty of attention from the players, and even the TV commentators have regularly spotted them in the crowd and given them a shout-out!

When you work at a sign shop, apparently there’s no such thing as too much team spirit!

If you’re looking for custom tees, signs, banners or promo gear for your team, business, club or crew, pop in and see us. We’ll make sure you get noticed!

Time to fuel up the Creation crew! 🍔 🤤

A massive thank you to David and Sammy for hosting the whole team at RAD - Hidden Smashburger Bar today for delicious smash burgers for lunch.

You guys seriously are exactly that - totally RAD! 🤘🏻

It was a well deserved break from doing our annual stocktake. 📋

Talk about a game changer. ⚽️

We were thrilled to design, manufacture and install this eye-catching sponsor recognition board for Southland Football's new turf.

The 3m wide feature is built from oversized ACM panel with a premium digital print, finished with a striking 3D Southland Football logo made from 10mm painted acrylic lettering.

Just like football, great signage is all about teamwork. A huge thanks to Southland Football for giving us the opportunity to help recognise the sponsors who are kicking in to support the future of the game in the south.

When it comes to making an impact, the Creation Crew is your team for quality signage that’s built for impact from kick-off to full-time.

Stoked to hear you are happy with the new branding applied to your equipment. It's not too often a digger rumbles its way into our factory but it's purpose-built to accommodate a huge range of vehicles.

What are you driving which would benefit from the Creation Crew treatment? Hit us up!

There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a brand transformation come to life from go to woah.

Our Creation crew recently partnered up with the team at Southern Group Training Trust on a complete rebrand, creating a fresh new logo before rolling it out across their business and marketing collateral.

From digitally printed vehicle graphics to striking new signage outside their building, every detail was designed to give their brand a professional, consistent look.

It's always rewarding to see a new identity go from concept to reality, and we're proud to have helped bring their vision to life.

Thinking your business could do with a refresh? Whether it's a new logo, vehicle graphics, signage, or a complete brand rollout, we'd love to help.

Welcome to the crew Toby Gregory👋

A qualified signwriter with oodles of experience, Toby added his skillset to our team this week.

He's racked up 10 years working in the industry and, after a bit of a hiatus in another role, he's back utilising his extensive signwriting talents on a variety of jobs for our clients.

Away from the workshop, Toby enjoys ripping up the dirt motorcross racing and doing trail rides, and spinning spanners working on cars.

We have project take off! 🛫

The Creation crew was contracted by Auckland-based company National Signs to install new internal and external signage at Queenstown Airport recently.

Utilising teamwork in every sense of the word, they were tasked with manufacturing and supplying the signage while our crew have been travelling to site to complete the installation.

To fit in with airport operations and minimise disruption for travellers, this project has seen our guys working through the night, predominantly from 10pm–6am. A novel form of jetlag perhaps?

The upgrade includes transforming signage throughout the terminal and external areas to illuminated systems, along with the installation of large external plinths, requiring careful preparation and the use of hiabs to safely lift and position these impressive structures.

A project of this scale takes a great team effort, and we’ve been proud to coordinate with Stewart Civil, Aotea Electric and R&R Hiab Services to get the job done.

Kudos to Kris Walker, project manager at Queenstown Airport, whose proactive approach has ensured the process ran smoothly.

We love being part of projects that help shape the look and experience of some of New Zealand’s most iconic places.
