Change of commercial tenant and change of branded nameplate sign at 4 Carters Row, a development of traditionally built workspaces at Hatfield Park for Gascoyne Estates. Fret-cut, full-colour printed vinyl applied to a powder-coated aluminium plate mounted onto a timber backboard.

Even the smallest project gets our full attention. We were recently asked to produce new lettering for a newly repainted timber nameplate at York Cottage. The original nameplate featured an Olde English typeface, but rather than simply replicate the existing lettering, we recommended a more considered approach.

We created a new layout using Palatino, an old-style serif typeface known for its excellent legibility and beautifully balanced proportions. The result is a sympathetic sign to the character of the property while giving the nameplate a fresh, refined appearance. It’s a small detail, but one that makes a difference.

The recent official opening of the redeveloped Salisbury Square and Arm & Sword Lane in Old Hatfield marked the successful collaboration of architects, surveyors, designers, the main contractor Boom Construction, and the client, Gascoyne Estates. We were proud to be commissioned to design and produce the external signage across the residential and commercial buildings at this new community space.

Given the current uncertainty in the law, protection will increasingly rely on AI training policies, licensing arrangements, and contractual provisions. As designers and creators of original content, we ensure that our licences and client agreements include specific clauses governing the use of our work in AI-related contexts.

We were commissioned to design and produce large-format printed billboard messages to promote the upcoming Old Hatfield Farmers Market, which is being held in the new Salisbury Square development.
