Mawon’s Huts Foundation

Signage | Interpretation Signs

This Mawson’s Huts Foundation Interpretation Signs Project was undertaken for a nonprofit charity established in 1996 with the goal of conserving the historic and fragile wooden huts of Hobart. In this endeavor, we fashioned the building sign for the Mawson’s Huts Replica Museum, utilizing built-up acrylic letters affixed to a painted backing board. Additionally, we employed wrapped aluminum panels to produce interpretive panels that vividly recount the story of Antarctic Heritage.

Interpretation Signage holds the power to effectively communicate a message, whether it involves a historic project, a tourist destination, a walking trail, or an environmental area. This is where our expertise comes in.

The Museum’s construction served a dual purpose: to raise funds for the continuous conservation of the historic buildings at Cape Denison, which played a pivotal role as the main base for the 1911-14 Australasian Antarctic Expedition (AAE). Strategically located on the Hobart waterfront, just 200 meters from the departure point of Mawson’s expedition in 1911, the Replica fulfills not only an educational role but also passionately champions the legacy of the AAE.

We were thrilled with the recent casket wrap. The Flying Colours team hit the brief perfectly and it was a talking point all afternoon of how well it represented our Dad. We didn’t make it easy with a quick turnaround required, but they delivered. Our whole hearted thanks.

We’ve worked with the Flying Colours team on a number of projects, including our recent brand refresh of all seven Bank of Us retail stores. The team take the time to understand us and our brand to make sure they deliver on time and up to a high standard. We love that we’re supporting a like-minded Tasmanian owned company when we work with them. We highly recommend Flying Colours for any printing services.

Fantastic service! I enquired about signage about 7 weeks before I got approval but they were very accommodating. When I went back to Matt he was very clear in the cost, what he needed and the timeline. I was pleasantly surprised when the signage was delivered and installed the next day because they happened to have some extra time so just dropped in to get it done. Great service!
