In 1992, two Industrial Design students from Carmarthen College of Technology and Art, Stephen Thomas and Gary Orme, were volunteered by their lecturer Mike Whalley to work on a design for a flexible and cost-effective mounting system to display the new signage I was developing for Penscynor Wildlife Park.
Their solution, a square metal plate over which a shaped plastic cover slid to display the sign in either landscape or portrait orientation. Their prototype was installed on the barrier to the Penguin enclosure where it worked well.
Sadly, I couldn’t secure funding to develop the design beyond this first prototype.
