Hollywood Monster were pivotal to the unveiling of Aston Villas new football strip by manufacturing and installing a huge 150 sqm replica of the kit at the ICC in Birmingham.

The 3000 strong crowd were in awe of the oversized shirt which was manufactured in a 24 hour period and took a total of 10 people to install covering the whole side of the building.

The digitally printed vinyl football strip was applied to the glazing of the ICC building.  A 200 sqm cover was manufactured out of canvas to cover the shirt prior to the unveiling announcing the event.

One lucky child was chosen to press a plunger following a countdown which unveiled the strip to the crowd of supporters and media which included both local, national and satellite television coverage.  The new kit marks the launch of Aston Villas new partnership with foreign exchange traders FxPro.

The project was brought together with consultation between Birmingham City Council, The ICC events team and Aston Villa Football Club.

The Hollywood Monster team have made their own history by manufacturing their largest ever road side banner since the amalgamation of Hollywood Signs and Monster Digital.

The Sky banner which was commissioned through Big Sky Banners was over 1000 sqm in size and is viewed by around 150,000 drivers per day on the M6.  The banner took 4 days to manufacture and used over 200m of rope and nearly 400 eyelets, weighing in excess of 350kg.

Simon McKenzie commented ‘We were delighted to work with Big Sky Banners on such a high profile advertising site. The M6 Walsall site is one of the largest banner sites in the country and with such a prominent location on the southbound carriageway of the M6 towards Birmingham, thousands of passing motorists will see this every day for the next three weeks.’

Hollywood Monster and Big Sky Banners also work together on large structural advertising schemes, such as a recently completed 280m x 4m hoarding in Birmingham city centre surrounding the new Library scheme.

Hollywood Monster recently manufactured and installed the high level corporate signage for Goldsmiths, in time for the new rugby 2010/11 season.

Goldsmiths have replaced Alliance and Leicester as stand sponsors for the season and as such required signage that will withstand the elements for the duration of the season 30metres above ground

A full team of installers, abseilers and site officials battled strong winds over a period of 7 days to install the roof hoarding that measured 70 metres overall x 2m high. Each panel was hoisted one by one onto the roof and fitted by the abseiling crew.

Project Manager Patrick Perkins commented ‘whilst the winds caused the abseilers a little difficulty we managed to get the hoarding up in a timely fashion’.

The Leicester Tigers re-brand also included a series of banners and built up lettering which was also completed within the same period.

This project is one of many to be installed to various sporting arenas across the UK this year. For more information please contact Tim Andrews on 07774 100013.

The former Matthew Boulton College had its high level signage revamped during the Easter holidays. Glimpses of the signage can be seen as far away as Small Heath in Birmingham and the ring road around the City.

Hollywood Monster produced the one metre high, built up LED internally illuminated letters and supporting rails and installed them 100ft high above the main entrance to the college.

Access was via a lorry mounted mobile platform weighing in excess of 32 tonne with a 30m outreach. The installation took three days to include the stripping out of the former signage.

The new college is responsible for the teaching of over 27,000 students, between the ages of 16 to 19 and has a combined teaching staff of 1,000 professionals, with the institution offering more than 2,000 qualifications to people across the West Midlands.

Hollywood Monster has produced various signage projects to the campus recently to include digitally printed wallpaper, floor graphics, panatrim frame signs, event signage, stage sets and vinyl graphics.  The company also provided a 5 x 40 metre high banner which was unveiled against a backdrop of fireworks by an abseiling team directly in front of 200 guests including the Lord Mayor of Birmingham – Michael Wilkes, Phil Upton of Radio WM and Britain’s Got Talent winning group, Diversity.

Following the installation, Managing Director Tim Andrews commented: “We are delighted to have been chosen to provide the new signage which further demonstrates our flexibility and our ability to carry out high level and high profile signage solutions”

Central Park is the largest speculative logistics park in the South West currently being developed by Severnside Distribution Limited and Goodmans.

The scheme covers a massive 640 acres and can accommodate buildings over 1 million sq.ft. The scheme is thought to bring a massive 50,000 jobs to the local economy and will be built out over the next 5 years.

The erection of the on-site signage signifies the start of the marketing campaign to attract tenants to the scheme which is located adjacent to the M49 near to Avonmouth.

The decision to employ Hollywood Monster, based in Birmingham, is testament to their ability to provide a high quality semi permanent marketing signage service to the property industry nationwide that not only offers a competitive solution but one that is built to last for the duration of the build program.

Talking about the project, Tim Andrews, Managing Director of Hollywood Monster Ltd, expressed his delight to be chosen to carry out the works at this prestigious scheme.  He further commented that speculative schemes of this magnitude are few and far between these days and represents a real coup to our business

Russell Croft of Knight Frank, Bristol office, confirmed that HML were chosen to install the sign due to their experience demonstrated on previous large scale schemes that required a similar turn-key solution and our array of experience within the property marketing industry

Hollywood Monster have manufactured and installed 2m high lettering which sits proudly overlooking the M6 and M5 junction in Walsall onto the premises of Vision Paper and board Ltd adjacent to the famous RAC building.

Hollywood Monster was chosen ahead of competition to supply the high profile signage to the factory facade due to the experience demonstrated in large format installations at prestigious schemes such as The Mailbox, Matthew Boulton College, the Fort Dunlop building and many industrial and distribution schemes across the UK.

The sign consists of individual aluminium built up letters with halo illumination, internally illuminated by LED bulbs. LED’s were chosen ahead of neon for its power saving & low maintenance characteristics.

Tim Andrews, Managing Director of Hollywood Monster Ltd, commented ‘We were absolutely delighted to work on this high profile project. Much of the day motorists are at a stand still around this area, and therefore it gives Vision the ideal opportunity to generate maximum exposure through our signage’.

Naomi Campbell’s Fashion for Relief event kicked off London Fashion Week at Somerset House with a catwalk show and auction raising money in aid of The White Ribbon Alliance.  The charity supports the health needs and rights of women and girls around the world, with special focus on its partners in Haiti at this time, who are helping to rebuild the healthcare system for mothers and babies.

Supporting the Fashion For Relief campaign Westfield London opened a temporary Pop Up Shop for which Hollywood Monster donated the window vinyls.  Projections, atmospheric lighting and Fashionista DJ’s all added to creating a space in which charity and fashion meet to make good things happen. Many suppliers got on board to help with the cause and local Fashion Students, QPR footballers and Westfield staff volunteered their time to help promote around the centre all throughout the weekend.

Vivienne Westwood designed a limited edition t-shirt in collaboration with Fashion For Relief in aid of Haiti. The charity t-shirts were sold solely at the pop-up shop until Sunday 21st February, which was opened exclusively by R&B singer Lemar.

Naomi Campbell, Erin O’Connor, Dame Shirley Bassey plus many more celebrities signed the exclusive Vivienne Westwood shirts which retailed for just £40. There were also signed celebrity photos on display in the Vivienne Westwood pop up shop.

Managing Director Tim Andrews commented ‘We are thrilled to be working again with Westfield up and down the country to support their events and make their Shopping Centres stand out with high quality branding and signage solutions.  We are very pleased to donate and provide the window graphics for such a good cause’.

Speaking about Hollywood Monster’s contribution, Westfield London’s Marketing Communications Manager Ciara O’Reilly said ‘I want to say thank you so much for your seriously generous donation to our Haiti Pop Up Shop. It looks fantastic and we are really delighted with getting it all together in such a short space of time with lots of help from our friends!’.
