All About Signs Timaru

The world feels like it's gone a bit mad this year, so we reckon this ANZAC weekend is a poignant time to think of those who've given their all in service so that we Kiwi's are able to live in relative peace and freedom today.

Lest we forget.

Warmest wishes of the season to all our customers, suppliers, friends and family. Thank you so much for your support throughout the year. Where ever you find yourselves over the Christmas and New Years break we hope you have a fun, relaxing and safe holiday. The team at All About Signs will be away "solar charging" from noon on Monday 21 December 2025 and will return at 9am Monday 12 January 2026.

See you next year!

Liz never stopped smiling while she worked on this! Full wraps are a challenge, but the project becomes a lot of fun when the vehicle shape and the vinyl colour are SO cute together. There's no doubt the final result is a real head turner. When you see this cool little Jimny zooming around, think of Liz - who did an outstanding job while giggling like a five year old playing with a Barbie car.

Happy Monday everyone! Seems we had an I.T. issue which lost any emails sent to us from Friday afternoon until about 9am today. If we haven't replied to a message, we're very sorry. Please resend and we'll get back to you ASAP.

Happy Birthday Johnny! We hope your special day is filled with all your favourite* old school tunes.

*Not jazz, obviously.

What's The Best Sign Company Around Here?

There are some solid options in South Canterbury, and we love our supporters for choosing us. But for a client, what separates a great signwriting outfit from an average one?

We decided to put together a helpful and impartial "How To" guide for finding the best local signwriter: www.allaboutsigns.co.nz/news/2025/11/20/what-are-the-best-signage-companies-near-me-in-timaru-new-zealand

We're stoked with these panels at Hanan Kindy! To fit a taller, climb proof, fence frame we illustrated and produced these double sided panels to reinforce what the kids have learned about the natural history of the local area. Outside creates an eye-catching focal point for the logo, while inside feels like a magical corner full of native birds and plants for the kids. Any way you look at it, THE FINISHED RESULT IS AMAZING.

Huge respect to all contributors, the fundraisers, the parents and the staff who've been working at this project for so long.

What were you doing in the year 2000?

This year marks 25 years since All About Signs unleashed itself on South Canterbury with an airbrushed golden logo and a purple van (probably blaring music from a new band called Gorillaz). The official anniversary date was in July and Johnny was away, but to mark the occasion now we've purpled up our new D-Max and dusted off the original logo for the rear window. Keep an eye out for this rolling masterpiece and give us a wave!

In all seriousness, we know its quite an achievement to last a quarter century in business. And we know this milestone was only possible with the support of our families, our talented staff over the years and - of course - our clients past and present. So from All About Signs to all of you - CHEERS.

However you observe the day, wherever you are in the world, we hope you'll find a moment in time on 25 April 2025 to spare a thought for the sacrifices of the originals who fought at Gallipoli. From across all these miles, we remember you.

We'd also like to send our respect to everyone from New Zealand, Australia and the various Pacific Islands who has ever continued the proud ANZAC traditions in their service to the army, navy or air force.

We'd like to wish you a safe and happy Easter long weekend. We'll be back next week from Tuesday 22 April until Thursday 24th, then closed Friday for ANZAC Day. Enjoy yourselves, you big eggs.
