In a country as vast and visually demanding as Australia, cutting through the noise in outdoor environments is no small feat. Traditional signage struggles to grab attention in high-traffic, fast-moving spaces — but our 5-Colour VMS-C is changing the game.
This large-scale, high-visibility Variable Message Sign is engineered to deliver bold, dynamic advertising that commands attention. Whether you’re promoting a local event, launching a national retail campaign, or engaging audiences on the move, this VMS-C offers unmatched visibility, flexibility, and impact.
Five Colours, Maximum Engagement
Unlike standard amber-only signs, Bartco’s 5-Colour VMS allows advertisers to display messages in red, green, white, blue, and amber. This full-colour capability isn’t just cosmetic — it dramatically increases how quickly messages are seen, understood, and acted on.
Benefits of multi-colour messaging:
- Enhance key messages with colour-coded calls to action
- Reinforce brand identity using custom colour palettes
- Display graphics and icons for faster recognition
- Create visually striking campaigns that stand out from surrounding noise
Branded to Match Your Business
Your signage doesn’t have to look generic — it can become an extension of your brand.
Bartco offers custom paintwork options, allowing you to align the VMS-C unit itself with your business or campaign colours. Whether you want your fleet of signs to match your corporate branding, event theme, or sponsorship partners, you can customise the trailer and housing paintwork to create a seamless visual experience.
This is especially beneficial for:
- Retail brands wanting consistent brand presence on-site
- Event managers incorporating VMS into larger branded activations
- Councils and contractors who want distinct, recognisable signage in the community
It’s not just functional — it’s visually on-brand.
Built for Attention at Scale
This is not a subtle sign — and that’s the point.
The large-format display ensures your message is readable from long distances and at high speeds, making it ideal for:
- Highways and major arterial roads
- Event entrances and traffic flow points
- Shopping precincts and car park entries
- Construction zones with brand sponsors
Wherever it’s deployed, the VMS becomes an unmissable communications platform, ideal for both directional signage and advertising.
Flexible, Solar-Powered & Remotely Managed
Our VMS units are designed for flexibility and control:
- Remote message updates via Web Studio software
- Fully solar-powered, ideal for long-term deployment
- Trailer-mounted for easy repositioning based on campaign needs
This makes it perfect for time-sensitive activations and campaigns that evolve over days or weeks.
A Smarter Way to Advertise
Integrated with smart traffic systems, Bartco’s signs can form part of a data-informed advertising strategy. Use traffic flow insights to target high-volume areas, measure campaign exposure, and adjust messaging in real time — turning roadside advertising into a measurable, strategic asset.
Compliant, Safe, and Council-Friendly
The VMS-C meets rigorous Australian road and safety standards, making it easier to gain approval for placement on public roads. Its brightness controls, glare reduction, and durable engineering ensure safety and reliability in all conditions — even in Australia’s harshest climates.
Plus, its dual-purpose potential means it can share real-time traffic or safety messages alongside commercial promotions, aligning with both public and private sector goals.
Real-World Use Cases
- Retail & Shopping Centres: Promote in-store sales or new openings
- Event Organisers: Direct traffic and build buzz simultaneously
- Local Governments: Run tourism or shop-local campaigns with regional branding
- Construction Firms: Share sponsor branding while complying with traffic guidance requirements
