Hello from a massive sign geek from Bradford

Posted by Katie Asken on 15 August 2012 at 14:38

Hi guys,

My name is Katie and I work for a sign trade supplier. Don’t worry, I’m not going to say "Buy from me! Buy from me!" but will help out with questions and solutions to problems the best I can. I specialise in built up letters, full fascias and LEDs.

I love signs, can’t go on a night out without getting a stiff neck from looking up at all the amazing signage that is out there.

Howdy 😀

Welcome Katie 😀
Be careful admiring tactile signs, I got asked to move along by the doorman when I ran my fingers over the sign outside the Savoy hotel in London last week. 😮 Maybe I wasn’t posh enough 😀

Welcome to the boards Katie Waterhouse & Applelec Signs :lol1:

Thought I would say it before someone else asks. :lol1:

Great to have you here and i am sure another supplier on the boards to help out us lot with any technical or product advice we may need, will go down well.
Or simply join in with general chat when you feel like it, your more than welcome.

Hi and welcome Katie. I’ve almost crashed quite a few times looking at signs when I should be looking at the road 😕

Yup, me too, but it wasn’t signs that caused me to fail to see the car in front had stopped 😕

Welcome from a signgeek from across the pond. I’ve been ogling signs since before the word geek was used. It never leaves you, so get used to it. I had my first sign ogle in the late ’60s. Also a heads up… At first your spouse will think your weird, it’s only a matter of time before they start grumbling when they see an upside down S or a badly kerned word. Now I’ve been married for nearly 35 years (to the same gal), so I’m not saying it happens over night, but they will be assimilated…Resistance is futile
