Chalkboard & Menu Signs

Chalkboards, Menu boards, or Standing A-frame (or "sandwich') boards are most often neglected by businesses: often asking staff to scribble on the menu or specials... that is a major mistake as customers shop and consume with their eyes. If the menu is neglected or sloppily designed - what about the food and service? Can we expect the same?

Coffee Shop's Menu

Entirely hand-painted to give it a human, accessible and soft touch to it... yet with the precision and neatness of a print.

Series of Informative Signs

City Canvas can paint numerous signs using elements of an existing brand's identity such as colours; fonts; logos; etc. - here is an example of 3 signs of different sizes for Kyteler's Inn newly refurbished bar The Tavern.

Bakery's gate

City Canvas transformed a rusty iron gate to a vibrant feature of a businesses identity and how it position itself in the urban environment.

ARÁN in Kilkenny (one of the best bakeries/bistros in Ireland!) asked City Canvas to create a design that would allow the viewer to immediately recognise their brand without explicitly writing their name... we produced a few graphic design digital renderings and created this design that combines Celtic knots and ARÁN's existing logo and colour scheme.

Decorative Chalkboard

Hand-painted with matt (little to no glare) white oil based paint. This sign now hangs in a Dublin pub and will last for many years to come!
