REDWOOD CITY, Calif., April 16, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Signature Devices, Inc. (PINK SHEETS: SDVI), having recently announced a merger with Graffiti Entertainment, Inc., today announced expansion plans for Europe. A Board resolution has been signed to acquire a European company established in 1991 which had 14 employees and revenues of $1.2 million in 2010.

"Our strategic plan is coming to fruition as we move aggressively into the European marketplace, including with a dedicated company and team.
