Omino manufactures and sells signboards, displays, information panels and other signs for fashion brands, hotels, and offices, made using LED, ABS and acrylic resin, and metal.

Every employee has their own approach to cutting curves and straight lines for the characters in a design, as they will use blades of different shapes and thicknesses. However, when complete, they all look exactly the same.

Machining tools use data that is programmed to make them operate as desired. If that program is incorrect by even a minor amount, the machining must be re-done. However, both in terms of budget and time, most manufacturing orders require machining to be successful on the first try.

We primarily make signs based on design drawings received from the customer, but sometimes there won’t be enough space set aside in the design to run electrical wiring for LEDs. So, another part of our job is to adjust the structure of a sign to ensure that it can function as designed.

Most signs we make are one-of-a-kind, so we need to adjust color combinations for each order. The person in charge will mix the paint by adding colors in 0.1g increments to gradually get it closer to the color the customer is looking for.

Arrows serve as indicators of something ahead and as waypoints. There is a responsibility to not point someone in the wrong direction. As a design motif, arrows include the philosophical nuance of having to do the right thing.
