New Farm's commercial strips are populated with independent operators who have built loyal followings on the strength of quality and character. The last thing these businesses need is generic signage that could belong to any strip mall in any suburb. On Brunswick Street and Merthyr Road, the best-performing signage is specific, well-crafted and authentically reflective of the business behind it. ProGroup Signs helps New Farm operators find that balance between visibility and brand integrity.
We work across the full range of New Farm business types — specialty cafes, wine bars, legal and accounting practices, health and wellness studios, boutique fashion and homewares retailers. Each has different signage needs, and we approach each project with a brief rather than a template. Our team is familiar with the character of the Brunswick Street extension and Merthyr Village precincts, and we have helped a number of New Farm businesses navigate council requirements for signage in character residential areas.
Types of Signage Popular in New Farm
Shop Front Signs
New Farm's shopfronts are as varied as the businesses they house — Queenslander-style facades, converted terrace buildings and contemporary infill all appear on the same block. ProGroup Signs designs shop front signage to suit the specific architecture of your building, selecting materials and mounting methods that enhance rather than overpower the facade. Flat-cut timber-look composite letters, brushed aluminium fascia panels and printed lightboxes are all popular choices with New Farm operators.
Neon Signs
Neon and LED neon signs have become a defining element of New Farm's bar and cafe interiors. A well-designed neon piece draws eyes through a window, creates an instantly shareable social media moment and adds warmth to an interior space. ProGroup Signs produces both traditional neon and energy-efficient LED neon in custom shapes and text, sized and coloured to suit your space and brand. We handle design, fabrication and installation as a single service.
Window Graphics
The glass frontages along Brunswick Street are prime real estate for window graphics. Printed vinyl with cafe menus, frosted bands for privacy in professional services offices, and cut-vinyl branding for boutiques all perform strongly in the New Farm streetscape. Window graphics are also one of the most cost-effective ways to refresh the look of an existing tenancy without a full fit-out. ProGroup Signs can design, print and install a new window graphic package in as little as two to three business days for straightforward jobs.
Promotional Signs and A-Frames
New Farm's foot traffic peaks on weekends when locals are out browsing, dining and socialising. A-frames and pavement signs are an effective way to capture this passing trade — menu specials, event announcements and directional messaging all drive incremental revenue on busy days. ProGroup Signs supplies A-frames, corflute inserts, pull-up banners and fabric flags in formats suitable for both permanent and rotational use.
A Recent Project in New Farm
We completed a signage refresh for an established wine bar on the Brunswick Street extension. The project involved removing the previous printed lightbox, installing a new flat-cut aluminium fascia sign with a bespoke logotype, adding a custom LED neon piece in the front window, and printing a set of new A-frames for footpath use. The installation was carried out on a Monday morning before the venue opened for lunch service, with the entire job completed by 10:30 am.

LED Signs
In a competitive market, visibility is everything. If your signage fades into the background after sunset or struggles to compete on a busy street, your business is missing valuable attention. A dim or outdated sign can send the wrong message — or no message at all.
Window Signs
Empty windows are wasted space. Worse, they can make your business look uninviting or unfinished. If your storefront or office has clear glass panels without branding, you’re missing a prime opportunity to attract, inform, and impress customers. It’s time to turn plain panes into powerful brand touchpoints.
3D Acrylic Letters
Flat, uninspired signage can make even the best businesses feel invisible. If your brand is lost in a sea of ordinary signs, you’re missing a huge chance to stand out. You need signage that literally rises above the rest — bold, dimensional, and built to impress.
Fleet Branding
Your vehicles are constantly on the road — but are they doing enough for your brand? Unbranded or inconsistent vehicle graphics are a missed opportunity. They fail to communicate your professionalism, reduce visibility, and create a disjointed image for your business. If your fleet looks generic, you’re missing out on thousands of impressions every single day.
Corporate Signs
In today’s competitive business world, perception is everything. Outdated, inconsistent, or poorly placed signage can quietly erode your credibility — whether it’s in your reception area, boardroom, or building exterior. Without clear, cohesive branding, clients and partners may question your professionalism and attention to detail.
Shop Fronts
Your storefront is your first — and sometimes only — chance to make an impression. If your signage is faded, generic, or hard to read, potential customers might pass by without ever stepping inside.
Acrylic Signs
First impressions matter — but tired, outdated, or low-quality signage can instantly diminish your brand’s professionalism. Whether it’s your reception, meeting room, or storefront, unclear or unattractive signage confuses clients and makes your business feel forgettable.
Wall Graphics
Boring, blank walls are a wasted opportunity. In offices, retail stores, and hospitality spaces, underutilised walls can make your environment feel uninspired and forgettable. You only get one chance to make a lasting impression — why not turn your walls into branded experiences that tell your story?
Frequently Asked Questions — New Farm Signage
Common questions from New Farm businesses about signage costs, approvals and timelines.
Does Brisbane City Council restrict signage in New Farm's character residential areas?
Parts of New Farm fall under Brisbane City Council's character residential precinct designations, which impose restrictions on external signage — particularly for businesses operating from converted residences or buildings in character overlays. Fascia signs are generally permissible within standard size limits, but projecting signs and illuminated signs may require assessment. ProGroup Signs will confirm what applies to your specific address at the quoting stage and advise on the appropriate path forward.
Can ProGroup Signs design a neon sign to match our New Farm cafe's brand?
Yes. Our design team works from your existing brand assets — logo, colour palette, typefaces — to develop a neon concept that fits your space and brand perfectly. We produce custom LED neon in any colour, shape or text, and can size the piece for your specific window or interior wall. We will provide a digital visualisation of the finished neon in situ before committing to production, so you know exactly how it will look in your New Farm space.
How long does a window graphic installation take on Brunswick Street?
A standard full-width window graphic for a New Farm shopfront typically takes two to four hours to install, depending on the number of panels and the complexity of the design. We schedule installations for times that suit your trading hours — early morning before opening, or after close. ProGroup Signs always leaves the installation site clean and checks the finished result with you before we leave.
What's the best type of A-frame sign for a New Farm cafe or restaurant?
For hospitality businesses on Brunswick Street, we recommend A-frames with snap-lock or chalk-effect inserts that allow you to update specials and menu items without reprinting. Heavy-duty powder-coated steel frames hold up in Queensland's weather and comply with Council requirements for pavement furniture placement. ProGroup Signs supplies a range of frame styles and can print custom inserts in any size — contact us for a free quote.
