Elsie-May, of the town of Tiverton, was well known for her cake-making and catering skills, leaving behind a slew of early 20th century family recipes. Her legacy lives on with the establishment of Elsie-May’s caf\u00e9\/coffee shop by her granddaughter, Mandy Jenks. The Jenks family caf\u00e9 was inspired by the retro American-style diner, that theme is carried out throughout the branding on both the interior and exterior.<\/p>\n

\"a421efb10e4692a68a05efc3403a10b5_f527\"<\/a>Wanting to use the late Elsie-May\u2019s portrait in the logo, the family-run caf\u00e9\/coffee shop signage was designed, fabricated and printed by Ken White Signs in Devon, UK<\/a>. Unlike the traditional sign company, Ken White Signs does graphic and product design, as well as logos and branding. Their expertise in this capacity is seen in the retro-style branding of the caf\u00e9, in collaboration with artist Ant Barron. The signage graphics were printed on self-adhesive vinyl, matte laminated and then applied to face of the Dibond aluminum composite.<\/p>\n

According to Chris White of Ken White Signs, \u201cDibond is lightweight making the bonding of the panel very easy, it also has a lovely smooth face. It is easy to cut which made creating the shape a lot easier. Its thermal expansion levels are very low which help the long-term stability.\u201d<\/p>\n
