Layout

The signs are 25cm high by 35cm wide and are printed on 2mm Stainless Steel.

  • The Friends of Toowong Cemetery logo is in the bottom left corner.
  • The grave location is in the bottom right corner.
  • An image, if available, is on the right of the text and masked in an oval.
  • The right edge of the text should follow the curve of the oval image.
  • The rounded rectangle border is inset ~10mm from the edge of the sign.
  • Despite the surface of the sign support having holes to attach the sign, most signs are glued to the supporting surface.
  • Art work for some signs
