Effective communication shouldn’t be a ‘style’ we pick from. It’s a system. A set of principles. And I have to say, when you subscribe to that, just about everything else feels like cake decoration...Read more.
Who We Are
DANTHONIA DESIGNS is an award winning team of traditional sign-makers. We take pride in using time-honored handcrafting skills such as chisel-carving, sculpting, gold-leaf gilding & custom artist-painting on each piece of signage that we create.
'One picture is worth a thousand words' - so the sign-designer tools we have developed for this website allow you to visually show us what you would like for a sign - rather than attempt to describe your wishes verbally.
Browse through our galleries and find a sign design you really like. Use our online tools to tweak and customize your sign until it is perfect. Our master signcrafters will take your concept and render it into a exceptional work of handcrafted signage.
Aesthetically most of the work we produce would be placed in the 'wood signs' category - but in fact we use weatherproof materials. Your handcrafted Danthonia sign comes with a UV resistant finish and rust-free hanging hardware - our HDU signs will outlast any wooden sign!
Danthonia is located in Inverell, NSW Australia. In addition to the work that we do for Australian clients we normally ship over 100 signs each month to the USA and other international destinations. The Aussie Dollar is lower than the US Dollar and our countries have a free trade agreement. We offer free shipping with a 21 day delivery (or a 15 day delivery option for a fee). This means US clients can get great value for money, and a fast turnaround on world-class handcrafted signage..
Let's get started - we would love to carve you a beautiful sign.

I have seen a lot of custom sign work in my time, but the artists, designers and crafts-people at Danthonia Designs are among that very small circle of people at the top!

I think there has been a conscious shift over the past few years back to an understanding of the importance of craft. For a lot of different reasons folks are realizing that it’s better to know where and how something was made, and who made it. And that maybe instead of buying a new “whatever” every few years, it’s worth investing in one “whatever” that’s made to last a lifetime...Read more.
