The letters we were building have been stripped of their vibrant vinyl graphics. From tremendous colour to Greek Med White (that's our pitch for a new Pantone colour; sorry, Sherwin-Williams Greek Villa SW 7551). Guesses as to what these letters spelled? Hint: did you do the half-marathon this past weekend?

You never know where the fun projects are going to come from. Glad to help get the message out about the only things that should be flushed: "P*e, poo, and toilet paper (and yes, bodily fluids) are the only things that are safe to flush. Our toilets and sewer systems weren’t designed to handle anything else." GNW built and painted the structure, and did the graphics.

GNW has fabricated and installed signage of all sorts over the years.

With all the bespoke pieces we build for clients, we often think of ourselves as "prototypers," if that's a word. Figure out the process, work out the bugs, then go for it. Kind of like "measure twice, cut once." (Fun fact: a former boss in another industry got that expression backwards. Caused some issues.)
