It took a couple of months of negotiations and visits to London and Cairo, but First African Signs has scooped the contract to do the branding on the new Citibank building in Cairo.
With rather exacting specifications and much attention being paid to detail by the client, AfriClad managed to convince the largest bank in the world that we are up to their standards. A variety of samples were sent off for approval, and at times it felt like we were manufacturing jewels, not signs!
LED's and vinyls had to be imported from the USA, and much time was spent agonizing over the exact shape of this 't' and that 'c', but if you happen to be in Cairo after the end of July 2008, do have a good look at the new Citi building there. It is beeeaaautiful, and the signs were made right here in the good old R of SA.
