As seen in our last blog post (SWICA Carnival 25th Anniversary Case Study Part 1), we designed, cut and applied all the vinyls for the SWICA 25th Anniversary Exhibition.

Case Study (and Celebration!): SWICA Carnival 25th Anniversary | Part 1
One of our long-running clients, SWICA Carnival (of Cardiff) celebrated their 25th year of operation this year! Hip-hip, hooray!
