Welcome to The Sign Studio — a boutique signage business based on the Mornington Peninsula, run by a small family team with over two decades of experience in the industry.
Our journey began with Legible Signs, a trusted name in Warragul for over 20 years, where we built a reputation for quality craftsmanship and reliable service. From there, we created Young & Co Custom Gifts, a custom gift and event signage studio in Malvern that brought a personal, creative flair to weddings, events, branding and gifting.
Now, we’ve brought that same passion and expertise to the coast, combining our love of design, signage, and storytelling into one creative hub: The Sign Studio Co.
From custom event signage to polished business branding, we bring your ideas to life with attention to detail, hands-on service, and a genuine love for what we do. Whether you're a bride, a business owner, or just someone with a big idea—we’re here to make your message stand out.
