Bringing School Spirit to Life: Guild Shield Signage for Newman College

At Signarama Osborne Park, we love projects that combine craftsmanship with meaning — and our latest collaboration with Newman College is a perfect example. Newman College asked us to design and produce a set of striking shield signs to showcase each of their guilds: Brigid, Romero, Thomas More, Camara, MacKillop, Chisolm, Marcellin, and Catherine. Each guild has its own colours, crest, and motto, and the brief was simple: create signage bold enough to be seen from across the courtyard, but refined enough to sit comfortably against the school's limestone architecture. The Build Every shield was crafted from 20mm PVC, digitally printed with each guild's unique crest and colour palette — from Thomas More's deep purple and green diamonds to Catherine's fiery red and green stripes. The result is vivid, durable signage built to handle Perth's outdoor conditions without fading or warping. Beneath each shield, we mounted the guild's motto in 10mm white acrylic lettering — think "Do What is Right, Not Easy" and "One Heart, Many Hands" — giving each pillar a clean, dimensional finish that catches the light beautifully against the sandstone brick. Why It Works These signs do more than mark a location — they reinforce identity and pride across the school. Students walk past their guild crest every day, a small but constant reminder of the values their house stands for. That's the kind of signage we love creating: functional, durable, and genuinely meaningful to the people who see it. Let's Talk Signage Whether it's a school, sports club, or corporate campus, if you've got crests, mottos, or brand identities you want brought to life in three dimensions, our team at Signarama Osborne Park would love to help.
