01
Parents see the gate before they see a classroom.
We make the school's name and crest the first thing they read: raised or lit letters on the gate and the facade, and a crest wall in reception.
School and college branding and signage
A campus parents remember after the tour.
Crest walls, values installations, walls of fame, themed play areas and every sign on campus, designed by our team, made in our Bengaluru factory and installed by our own crews.

Featured project
What we delivered at National Public School, SMV Bangalore.
SpaceCrafter Studio delivered the reception crest wall, two values installations, the Wall of Fame and an underwater play area at National Public School, SMV Bangalore. Every photo below is the finished work on campus.
01Arrival
The crest wall
The first wall a visitor faces in reception. Layers of white relief rise as hills, preserved moss in two greens runs along the ridges, and the school crest sits at the centre, where every visitor's eye lands.
02Values
Reach Out, Reach High, Reach Beyond
An illustrated wall graphic wraps a doorway in the atrium: children climb a rope and a ladder toward a rocket and planets, with the three lines in dimensional letters. Students walk through it every day.
The paper-plane wall
The same three lines in raised letters on a double-height white wall, with dimensional paper planes in blue, lilac and sand flying up raised flight paths beside them.
03Pride
Wall of Fame
A full-wall wave graphic in bands of blue, with the school name and Wall of Fame in raised letters across the top. The open waves below leave room for the names, photos and results the school puts up.
04Play
The underwater play area
The space under a staircase became an ocean. Printed graphics wrap the walls and pillars with a shark, an octopus, jellyfish, turtles and coral, around amphitheatre steps and green turf.
Pillars, planters and risers
The graphics carry on over the planter faces and the step risers beside the ball pit, so the whole corner reads as one place for the youngest children.
What did the play area look like before?
More campuses
More campuses we have branded.
Gate lettering, reception walls, a lobby logo wall and a painted facade at other schools and preschools we have worked with.

Prayoga Institute of Education Research
A lobby logo wall: the green Prayoga mark, the name and the line Research to Transform Learning in raised letters on white.
The Sun School
A reception feature wall: the school logo and the line Where education lives, set into timber shelving that holds the school's trophies.
The Shishya Jigyasa Academy
The entrance wall, with the school name in Kannada and English beside the school crest.
Bright Kid Montessori House
The facade: the school sign across the first floor and painted murals along the front wall.
Why SpaceCrafter Studio
Why do schools across India choose SpaceCrafter Studio?
A school deals with one company from the first campus walk to the last fixing on the wall.
SpaceCrafter Studio designs, manufactures and installs school branding with one in-house team. Our designers draw it, our factory makes it and our crews fix it to the wall. We do not subcontract fabrication or installation.
The work is made in our own factory in Bengaluru. The workshop of Kingar Signs Private Limited has CNC routers, laser cutting, channel-letter bending, UV printing, spray-paint and welding shops and a curing line, run by about 40 craftspeople.
Our own crews install every piece. The installers work for the same company as the factory, so a repair or an adjustment goes straight back to the people who made the piece.
We have worked with 19 schools and colleges. They include Sir M Visvesvaraya National Public School, Harrow International School Bengaluru, Birla Open Minds International School and BMS Institute of Technology and Management. The NPS project is shown in full on this page.
We have made signs in Bengaluru since 1991. SpaceCrafter Studio began as Aarkay Signs, so the factory, the crews and the way we run a project have 35 years of work behind them.
A school gets one point of contact and one timeline for the whole campus. One project lead handles the gate, reception, corridors and play areas, and we can plan installation around your school calendar: term breaks, weekends or after school hours.
Meet the team: designers, factory, site crews →
One in-house team or four separate vendors?
Campus branding is often bought from four vendors: a designer, a printer, a fabricator and an installer. This is how that compares with one team.
| One in-house team (SpaceCrafter Studio) | Typical multi-vendor setup (designer + printer + fabricator + installer) | |
|---|---|---|
| Accountability | One company answers for the design, the making and the installation. | Each vendor answers for its own stage. When a fault sits between two stages, the school has to work out whose it is. |
| Timeline | One schedule from the site walk to handover, run by the team doing the work. | Four schedules in a chain. A delay at the printer or the fabricator moves every date after it. |
| Quality control | Checked in our factory before it leaves, then checked again on the wall by the crew that built it. | Each vendor checks its own part. The parts first meet each other on site. |
| Brand consistency | Gate, reception, corridors and play areas drawn and made as one set, in the same colours and finishes. | Colours and finishes can drift when different vendors print and build different pieces. |
| Repairs and updates | One number to call. The team that made a piece repairs it or adds to it, such as next year's names on the wall of fame. | The school first traces which vendor made the piece, then waits for that vendor's schedule. |
| Cost surprises | One quote covers design, fabrication and installation. | Separate quotes, and work that falls between vendors, such as site changes or re-fixing, can come back as extras. |
The problem
Why do generic campuses fall short?
Parents form a view of a school on the walk from the gate to the reception desk, before anyone shows them a classroom.
02
Visitors get lost between blocks.
Block, floor and room signs and campus maps, drawn as one system across every building, so a parent on open day finds the admissions office without asking.
03
The school's values stay in the prospectus.
Motto walls, heritage murals and honour boards put what the school stands for on the walls students pass every day.
The whole campus

How it works
How does a school project run?
Walk the campus
We walk the gate, lobby, corridors and play areas with you and mark every wall and sign position.
Design one system
Crest walls, values walls, wayfinding and safety signs drawn as one set in your colours and crest.
Sample and sign off
Materials, colours and print samples approved by your management before anything is made.
Make it in-house
Cut, printed, painted and assembled in our own Bengaluru factory, and checked before it leaves.
Install around your calendar
Our own crews install it in holidays, at weekends or after school hours.
Add each year
When the wall of fame needs this year's names, we can come back and add them.
Questions, answered
Questions schools ask us.
What does school branding and signage cover?
Everything people read or see on the walls of a campus: the name on the gate and facade, the reception crest wall, motto and values installations, walls of fame, themed play areas, classroom, block and floor signs, campus maps, fire exit and assembly point signs, LED notice boards and school bus branding. SpaceCrafter Studio designs, makes and installs all of it with one team.
How do I choose a school signage and branding company in India?
Check five things. Does the company have its own factory, so it controls quality and delivery dates? Does it install with its own crews, so one team answers for the finished wall? Which schools has it worked with, and can you see that work? Can its designers plan the whole campus, from the gate to the classroom doors, as one system? Will it walk your campus before it gives a final quote? SpaceCrafter Studio meets all five: its own factory in Bengaluru, its own installers, 19 schools and colleges so far, and a campus walk before the final quote. Our guide at spacecrafter.studio/blog/how-to-choose-signage-company lists the questions to ask any vendor.
Does SpaceCrafter Studio make and install the work itself?
Yes. Our designers draw it, it is cut, printed, painted and assembled in our own factory in Bengaluru, and our own crews install it. We do not subcontract fabrication or installation.
Which schools have you worked with?
SpaceCrafter Studio has worked with 19 schools and colleges: Sir M Visvesvaraya National Public School, Birla Open Minds International School, Indus Altum International School Belagavi, Harrow International School Bengaluru, BMS Institute of Technology and Management, Prarthana School, Academic Heights Public School, Klayzo by KLAY, FAME India, Neev Academy, Prayoga Institute of Education Research, Velammal Vidyalaya, Accord School, Modern Public School, Magnolia School, Learning Tree School, The Sun School, The Shishya Jigyasa Academy and Bright Kid Montessori House. The project shown in full on this page is National Public School, SMV Bangalore.
Do you work with colleges as well as schools?
Yes. BMS Institute of Technology and Management in Bengaluru is one of the 19 schools and colleges we have worked with. For a college the work often runs to block and department wayfinding, auditorium branding and admissions signage, made and installed by the same team.
How much does school signage and branding cost?
It depends on the scope: one crest wall and a full campus signage system are very different budgets. Send photos of the spaces on WhatsApp and our team responds within one business day with a plan and an indicative budget. Our rate card lists indicative rates for common signage work at spacecrafter.studio/rate-card.
How long does a school project take?
A single feature wall and a campus-wide signage system run on different timelines. After we walk the campus you get a schedule for design, sign-off, fabrication and installation, and we plan the installation around your school calendar, such as term breaks, weekends or after school hours, so classes are not disrupted.
Do you make safety and statutory signs as well as branding?
Yes. Fire exit, assembly point and evacuation signs and accessible signage are made to specification alongside the crest walls, murals and wayfinding, by the same team.
Can you brand a campus with several buildings consistently?
Yes. We design one signage system for the whole campus, so every block, floor and entrance reads as the same school, and a block built later can be signed to match.
Are the materials safe around young children?
Tell us who uses each space and we choose materials and fixings for it. At a child's height we avoid sharp edges and loose parts, and we share the material details of every piece before you approve it. If your school or architect has a specification, we build to it.
How long do printed wall graphics last, and how do we clean them?
That depends on the material and where it sits. A wall children touch every day needs a harder-wearing finish than a double-height wall above their reach, and we specify for that. At handover we tell you how to clean each surface.
Can a wall of fame be updated every year?
Yes. We plan a wall of fame with space and a fixing method for new names, photos and results, so adding a year does not mean redoing the wall.
Can you work with our architect or interior designer?
Yes. We can build from your architect's drawings and finishes, or design the branding and signage ourselves and share the drawings for their review. Either way, our own team fabricates and installs it.
How do we start?
Send photos of the spaces you want to change, or of the whole campus, on WhatsApp to +91 98868 46670. Our team responds within one business day with a plan and an indicative budget.
