Sign 2000 in regeneration of historic Royal Arsenal Woolwich


Kent-based corporate signage specialist Sign 2000 has recently completed the brand identity and directional signage at the Royal Arsenal, the flagship development for Woolwich. The location is a key waterfront development on a formerly derelict and inaccessible site of approximately 30 hectares. The regeneration scheme will eventually include in excess of 2,500 new homes, office space, hotels, cinema, community healthcare centre, nursery, museum as well as various retail sites including bars, restaurants and new car park complete with pier. The signage was designed with a distinctly architectural theme to complement the various


historic armoury buildings and artillery memorabilia situated around the location. The armoury site was initially established as an ordnance storage depot in 1671 and later became known as the Royal Arsenal in 1805 at the suggestion of King George III. The Royal Arsenal evolved as a renowned centre of excellence in mechanical engineering and employed notable engineers and naval architects such as Samuel Bentham, Marc Islambard Brunel and Henry Maudsley. In 1913 the site became home to Arsenal FC who subsequently became known appropriately as ‘The Gunners’


and who now play at the famous Emirates Stadium in the same area of London. The signage manufactured and installed by


Sign 2000 comprised a range of general cannon and totem signs, all of which were constructed in mild steel with a stove-enamelled black finish. For the 1700 x 5000mm totem signs a combi- nation of mild steel and folded three-millimetre panels was used. Decoration involved the use of vinyl-applied lettering.
