Commissioned by South Ayrshire Council , designed by BBD Creative and brought to life by the team here at Owen Kerr Signs. As part of the refurbishment of the Citadel Leisure Centre, we produced vinyl graphics for the windows of the cafeteria, drop banners for the diving pool and signage for the reception area and poolside. We have to say, the end result looks great, it really adds a “Splash” of colour! (get it!!)
