Reflecting on our role in one of the UK’s most vibrant sporting events

This summer marks three years since Hardy Signs proudly contributed to the visual identity of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games. As a nationally recognised signage provider, we were honoured to help bring colour, character and clarity to the city through a wide range of bespoke signage solutions.

Being involved in such a high-profile event remains one of the standout moments in our company’s recent history.

Signage That Brought Birmingham to Life

Our team was trusted to deliver an extensive signage package across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. This included:

• Anti-graffiti laminated graphics installed on hoardings in Chamberlain Square, featuring the iconic Games mascot, Perry the Bull
• Over 300 double-sided banner arms and banners installed across Sandwell
• PVC mesh banners fitted to key bridges across the city
• Full-colour vinyl wraps for TV and broadcast trucks operating in Sutton Park and Cannock Chase
• Decorative signage panels along Centenary Way, enhancing important pedestrian routes

Each element played a vital role in building the bold and cohesive branding seen throughout the Games.

Working Against the Clock

As with many large-scale events, the project came with extremely tight deadlines and no margin for error. With just weeks to design, manufacture and install hundreds of signs across multiple locations, our team had to work with precision and pace.

Careful coordination, extended production hours and on-site adaptability were essential to meeting the deadline. Our installers worked around the clock to ensure all signage was completed to specification ahead of opening day—without compromising on quality or safety.

The result was a smooth and professional delivery that contributed to the Games’ visual success and overall visitor experience.

A Moment of Lasting Pride

The Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games captured the attention of millions, both in the UK and around the world. To have played a part in such a momentous occasion is something the Hardy Signs team continues to take great pride in.

From planning and production to installation across a variety of locations, the scale of the project highlighted our capability, creativity and commitment to excellence.

We are incredibly proud to have supported such a memorable event that showcased Birmingham at its best.
