Spring light hitting the new signage at Chester Cathedral.
Stride recently designed a sensitive new exterior signage scheme for this Grade I listed landmark. Part of a wider rollout of wayfinding coming soon.
Shots of the internal wayfinding we produced for Eastgate Square.
We were tasked with creating a premium signage scheme to redefine the centre’s identity. The goal: boost footfall, secure high-end retail interest, and set the stage for the imminent arrival of H beauty by Harrods.
From the bespoke iconography to the tactile, raised-letter finishes, every detail was designed to be as functional as it is aesthetic.
Next time you’re in Chester, look up and keep an eye out for our handiwork.
Last year, we took on the challenge of renaming, rebranding, wayfinding and signage for the former Grosvenor Shopping Centre. Through new ownership and major investment, Eastgate Square is officially here.
As a Chester-based agency, there’s nothing better than working on our own doorstep and seeing the results every time we walk through the city.
Shoutout to the team who brought this to life:
Vic for creating a beast of a signage pack
Thanks to Lucy, Lucy and Lisa, involved in various stages of this project.

The Mayflower.
Completed back in the spring as part of the signage works for @mayflowerpubliverpool - this absolute whopper of a pub sign.
For those new here, that's all hand painted - the way it should be. Hand painted ship, hand painted lettering. These pub pictorial signs are such great projects to work on, proper jobs.
This is a serious bit of kit - designed by @stride_studio , fabricated by @daviesandfoster , painted by Christine and myself before being installed by Phil. Loads of stress with a job like this but such a relief to get it up on the wall.
Clearly it's popular with the seagulls too.
It’s an exciting time at Stride. We’re expanding our team with two new roles:

Come spend the morning with us as we get stuck into Crime Prevention’s website refresh workshop.
Plenty of ideas, Post-its and plans for the Running Man’s next move. Featuring a guest appearance from our new fluffy friend 🐕
The Masonic Arms.
Another Lark Lane job completed this week. The newly refurbished @masoniclarklane which was previously The Lodge.
Swing sign panels, four advertising boards and twenty two gold leaf mirrors.
That swing sign is a beauty, pictorial painting by Chrissy the Wizard and gilded lettering by me. Love these pubs signs, just proper.
All design work provided by @stride_studio and the better photos of this bunch were by the awesome @ellajmcconville
Pubs. Pubs. We all love pubs. And Lark Lane.
