Fly Boy Pizza & Wings
Big, Bold Hand-Painted Signs Across Northern Ireland
Right in the heart of Belfast, on the busy Ann Street, Bob & Berts opened a new coffee shop—and they wanted the space to feel full of energy, character, and hand-crafted charm. That’s where I came in.
Signwriting for a new Bob & Berts Coffee Shop in the heart of Belfast
From shop fascias to murals, I was in charge of all the signage across the three locations in the North Coast, Newry and Armagh. I worked full blast to make sure everything was ready for the grand openings.
The fascia signs in Coleraine and Newry were over 5 meters long, and painting them meant working high up in the air with cherry pickers and scissor lifts—definitely not a job for the faint-hearted!
To add to the challenge, every wall surface was corrugated, which is one of the trickiest textures for sign painting.
There’s something deeply satisfying about driving around Northern Ireland and spotting a shop you worked on—especially when it shines as brightly as Fly Boy.
Some projects just fill your heart—and this was one of them. Fly Boy Pizza & Wings is a family-run business with a big vision and the sweetest owners you could hope to meet. When they set out to open three new shops—in Coleraine, Armagh, and Newry—they brought me on board to bring their branding to life with traditional hand-painted signs.
Fly Boy’s style is simple but bold—bright turquoise storefronts paired with oversized, eye-catching logos. And let me tell you, these signs were huge.
Unlike smooth walls, corrugated metal doesn’t forgive mistakes. But I was up for it—and the result? Crisp, clean lettering that stands tall and proud in each town.
Their turquoise facades and big hand-painted logos stand out from far away, doing exactly what great signage should: grab attention, build identity, and welcome people in.
As a traditional signwriter based in Northern Ireland, I’m always up for a challenge. Whether you’re opening one shop or three, I can help you make a bold statement—with signs that are crafted, not printed.
