Why people call us.

More than 25 years in the industry across our team: sales, production, fabrication and installation.

  • The install

    Where most jobs fall apart, and the part we never hand off. The crew that plans it installs it.

  • The deadline

    Tight timeframes are normal for us. We plan back from opening night and stay on site until it's right.

  • One contact

    One point of contact from the first call to bump-out. No chain of suppliers, nothing lost between them.

  • Any scale

    From one kiosk to a national rollout, with crews resourced to the job.

How an In Mind job runs.

Step by step: a pop-up, from the first site visit to the doors opening.

  1. Your vision, the space and the goals first. We survey the site, then guide you to the right approach, materials, budget and timing.

    You get: a measured site and a plan.

  2. Ideas turned into designs that work in the real world. The artwork, the details and the finishes are agreed before anything is made.

    You get: drawings and artwork to sign off.

  3. The print, the skins and the frame, made and checked against the drawings before anything leaves for site.

    You get: every piece made to spec, on time.

  4. The same team on site, start to finish. Stood up, finished and checked before the doors open.

    You get: the people who planned it, installing it.

Questions about signage.

Or skip the questions: call Anya on 0431 277 601.

Do I need a permit for a shopfront sign in Victoria?

Often. In Victoria, signs are controlled by Clause 52.05 of your council's planning scheme, and illuminated, pole and larger signs commonly need a planning permit. Shopping centres have their own sign approval too. We check what your site needs before anything is made.

How much does a shopfront sign cost?

It depends on the size, whether it's lit, the materials and how hard the site is to reach. A flat fascia panel costs far less than built-up illuminated letters. Send us the address, a photo of the building and your logo, and we'll quote.

How long does a new sign take?

Making and installing it is usually the quick part. A planning permit, where one's needed, takes longest: councils have 60 statutory days to decide most applications. Tell us your opening date and we'll work back from it.

What kinds of illuminated signs are there?

Built-up letters lit through the face or glowing from behind (halo-lit), lightboxes with printed or routed faces, and LED neon. Each is wired by a licensed electrician and fixed to suit the wall it's on.

Can you do signs for a store in a shopping centre?

Yes. Centre stores need the centre's design approval as well as the landlord's fit-out rules. We work to the centre's sign guidelines, prepare drawings for approval and install outside trading hours.
