BIS is Breaking new ground Underground
/Bis has designed the cutting edge in underground graders.
The new Razor Underground Grader is a direct response to industry demand. It has been designed with miners, for miners, to deliver better operator ergonomics and exceptional performance, from the cab to the cutting edge.
The Think Team were lucky enough to be part of the production by supplying and applying the decals to the various sections of the great beast.
We used Hexis hitack media as the decals were applied to different surfaces.
The Razor traveled up the East Coast
Newcastle, Wollongong and Moranbah hosted UGM and Jaxam Underground roadshow events.
“Bis understands the needs of miners because we are miners. We are on the ground and underground. You’ll find us on site, getting our hands dirty, operating and maintaining mobile mining equipment for our customers. We listen to your frustrations and challenges and work hard to develop solutions. We use our experience and understanding of your operation to build more productive, safer, agile equipment that is designed for the people that use them”
GARDINER MOTORSPORTS TRAILER WRAP
/Gardiner Motorsports had a new family member.
Meet their new trailer Number 12
Of course we had to make this look great so with the new design we partially wrapped the trailer.
First race meeting of the 2019/20 season Lismore Castrol Edge Speedway 100 lapper where the boys finished p7 on a very one lane track picked a few cars off a moved forward
To complete this job we used Hexis media printed on our Epson SC-S80600 Series printer
Getting dirty

Quick Dash into Mount Hutton
/Dunkley Dash Espresso Hut has a fresh new look!
We had the pleasure of working with the crew from Dunkley Dash sprucing up there shopfront.
Julie was great, she knew what she wanted and how it should look, made our job so much easier. Did i mention how good their coffee is!
Our Design Team created their new presence. Fresh greens, contrasting against the stark crisp white and black. Those with a keen eye will see that the leaves are actually coffee plant leaves, appropriate we thought. The log was inspired from their new look coffee bag labels
old look
Pre makeover
new look
little bit of magic
New sign panels were designed and installed on the side of the building replacing the single sign panel. This has great street view frontage as you are coming down the hill. A little of personality was added with the quote on the second panel, after all coffee is all about warmth and getting that good feeling.
Add an a-frame fresh’n up - couple of new sign panels, and trading hours decal on the window installed and the look is complete.
With Breast Cancer Awareness Month being so dear to Julie, we also made some t-shirts and a posters for her campaign.
Breast Cancer Ts
Custom designed shirts for the lovely ladies
“Chanelle & the team have been nothing short of fantastic, we couldn’t be more happier with our new signage for Dunkley Dash thank you so much guys”
Nazareth Aged Care door decals
/Need to escape or just need a different view? Think Beautiful Doors
These decals are the ideal way to bring some life to your rooms. At Nazareth Aged Care each ward had their own unique door decal which we applied to the patients rooms, so they would be able to identify their rooms easier. Much better than a boring, plain painted door.
We digitally printed our images onto a removable Avery specialty media, laminated for easy cleaning and hard wearing.
Along with the doors for each wing we also installed some beautiful wall murals to particular sections of the facility. Images of local surrounding areas around the Lake were used to add some peace and beauty to the stark white walls.
“Thank you for the wonderful application of the graphic at the end of the hallway it looks fantastic and we have lots of positive comments”
Cubbyhole Central Coast
/See some industrial hand painted signs we applied to rollers doors and other substrates at Cubbyhole Central Coast

/Santa made it to Raymond Terrace Marketplace
We thought we would share some photos of the fantastic Christmas display we created Christmas 2018. It was truly a magical job to create.
Almost everything on display here we painted.
The castle was sprayed icy blues, Toy soldiers patched and resprayed, Gift boxes painted and wrapped with custom designed ribbons.
Paving the way to Santa
The magical pebble path to Santa was laid in that fantastic fairy hour when no-one knows how or when it actually happens. Even the reindeers and birds got their imprints in the snow
Near the archway was a letterbox direct to Santa which was also painted to suit the cold, snowy blue theme and a clock to match.
It was a massive job designing, creating and installing the masterpiece but totally worth it.
Merry Christmas in July!

Bis Industries bright and bold
/Bis hand painted signs look amazing
Bis Industries moved into 606-608 Tomago Road, so of course they needed some signs. Boy they were large signs - some were 6000mm tall and 10500mm long!
For a sign this large and the surface they were to be installed we didn’t hesitate to put on our painting pants and hand paint the signs directly to the corrugated walls. So with airless spray gun in hand we set out preparing the walls for the signs. Each sign had to undercoated, orange base and then the lettering marked out in white.
rain or shine
From extreme heat to pouring rain, the weather didn’t stop us from painting these enormous signs
These signs at Bis were enormous as you can tell from the size of this bucket compared to the sign
wall graphic prints
these were very impressive
We applied large wall graphics to the main stairway entrance and the training room wall. Using Avery wall graphic media we prepared the walls first with a primer and sanding.
The images were supplied by Bis were honest, dirty images of real employees - capturing the harshness and grit of their industry
Custom safety signs were installed around the premises as well as road markings and truck parking bays

Hitensile has a new face lift
/Newcastle Hitensile and Bolt have had an exciting upgrade.
A fresh lick of paint, new signs, new car park lines and markings and the tired old building looks brand new again. Perfect for our snappy photographer to capture this industrial beauty.
It is amazing how powerful words are really. The visual impact of such strong and contrasting tones the words bring across the front facade of their building is impressive to say the least. The Building now has it’s place along the road.
The task on this site was to freshen up the front where the customers enter the building. So our Think Team got working and created this idea of a collage of words, relevant to Hitensile of course. There were some extremes in temperatures and weather, but the results of the hand painted words look fantastic we think.
Standing tall out the front the pylon sign had a make over as well- new sign panels with the new logo and branding. Trading hours applied to the front entrance doors.
We cannot forget the ground! New lines were measured out for the spaces and the car park markings were also repainted.
For the final touch a bit of painting across the front and shiny yellow bollards for greater safety around the site.
All that was left was to capture the moment of such brilliant silent acting. So with camera in hand, our photographer Andy snapped away. The model was a minx, such strength and poise, every angle was her best. :)
Crema Coffee Garage hoisted
/Royce had a great time up in sunny Queensland branding Crema Coffee’s new premises.
The front facade was laminated with one way vision vinyl designed by the Crema’s fantastic design team. This acted as both informative, decorative and added some much needed shade for the showroom. Out the front in their lovely new pruned garden, a street sign was erected towering over the hedge - great for traffic exposure.
We love their branding so clean and simple and their Pegasus is so easily recognisable.
Since we began roasting coffee for our own cafe, Crema Coffee Garage has quickly become a household name.
The brand has become synonymous with quality fresh roasted coffee, whether it be for your home, office, cafe or whatever the cause of your caffeine addiction.
Crema Coffee Garage has an array of blends and single origin coffee beans available in its range, designed to cover a broad range of flavour preferences. People quite often ask us why our coffee is different and the answer is simple: we have a passion for coffee and we strive to give all our customers unique, memorable coffee moments.
Great start to the 2018/19 wingless season
/Brock was in awesome form for the start of his season racing. One would say he had wings not wingless.
In heat 3 he was positioned 6th and by the first corner was in 2nd position challenging for 1st position and he made the pass on lap 3 where he stayed for the rest of the race finishing in first position with a best lap time of 16.418 this was also the best of all the heats
The had a problem with the car in his 2nd heat dropped them to 4th before coming into the infield and shutting it down for the night even though
So proud of the way Brock drove in the first head it was home on Sunday and the preparation for this Saturday night is underway
They are racing at Valvoline Raceway Parramatta if your looking for a fun family night out come on down and say hello at the end of the race meeting come into the pits say hello meet the team and have a look at the car

custom signs and more
A creative, attractive sign can help your business stand apart from the competition. Customers are more likely to purchase from a business they have already heard of.
So a sign can help plant the seed for future sales
If you operate or are planning to start a business, an important consideration is how you plan to use signage
Function
Signs serve as a primary link between a business and its customers, like a type of silent salesperson for your business. Exterior signs draw attention to your place of business and help differentiate it from others on the street while interior signs help customers locate merchandise and can lead to impulse sales when added to special displays.
Significance
One of the essential components of a business's overall marketing strategy is the use of signs, their design and positioning. A sign containing a business's logo will help reinforce their brand. We also use signs to draw attention for promotions and to convey information about the business. Exterior sign are visible 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so their visual effect is continuous.
Benefits
Signs can be a cost-effective form of marketing. According to the SBA website, the cost-per-thousand, a common method used to measure the cost of reaching a thousand potential customers, is much lower for signage than other types of advertising, such as radio, televisions and newspapers.
Considerations
Signs can also be effective for off-premises use. Strategically placed billboards can convey a concise message to passing motorists. You can also place magnetic signs on the side of your vehicle to serve as a form of mobile advertising as well as pay other motorists to place signs on their own vehicles for additional reach.
We have tradesman signwriters who are very diverse in their abilities
This is the founding block of Think Graphic Communication.
We manufacture on site and install signs state wide.
The supply of artwork and free quotations is a standard practice at Think Graphic Communication.
We will guide you through the best choices as far as longevity and council regulations when it comes to manufacture and installation of your new signs.

2018 LeMons car race design is hot!
/Another year another lemon. This years 24 hour of LeMons car entrant for our fantastic crew from Millfields Turkeys in Stroud is our best yet.
A fun play on Hotwheels was their inspiration this time, and I think that we nailed it.
Love this design and it was sooo much fun to design.
What the heck? What the Hell!
24 Hours of Lemons presents Australian endurance racing for $999 cars. It’s a breeding ground for inflated egos and God like status… in their own minds. It's where Mercedes and Mazda, Toyota and Hyundai do battle for the glory of gloating rights. All are winners if they make it to the end, which is the very point of LEMONS... To FINISH!!
