Our Story
Eleven years ago a handful of 
enthusiastic American sign-makers saw an opportunity in Australia. Aussies were investing heavily in marketing their tourism, but had no local sources for hand-carved or sandblasted dimensional signage.
Starting in a rural wool shed 
with a few hand tools, Danthonia Designs was born! Locals may have wondered what the 'Yanks' were up to . . . but thousands of signs and dozens of awards later, we have made our mark Down Under and the vision continues to grow.
Our markets spread quickly from tourism to schools, home owners, wineries, farm and property owners, aged-care, healthcare, retail, churches, food and hospitality venues, architects, developers and local governments. Our products expanded from small wall signs to large pylons and monuments. Anyone wishing to make a 'quality statement' found that Danthonia’s dimensional signs were a great way to do it.
Today Danthonia's 50 plus 
designers, artists and artisans use office and work areas of over 60,000 sq/ft to create signage for clients across Australia and internationally. Many of our masterpieces ship right back into the same states that we originally came from. As Americans living halfway round the globe we feel honored to see how many eager customers are coming to us from back home.
Australia and the United States have a free trade agreement and the Aussie dollar is historically weaker than the US dollar - this means good value for your money. Although your Danthonia signs are individually handcrafted, we have developed a team approach to production that allows a 3-week delivery for most US orders. And with the release of our new online Sign Designer, you can now design your own sign, try out different colors, change the artwork or a font, and buy when it is just right for you! So give it a try - browse through the gallery until you find a sign which you like, then customize it and make it perfect.
