CEO Mart van der Velde Outlines Company Sales and Marketing Priorities
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.

Mart van der Velde, CEO of Signature Devices, Inc. and Graffiti Entertainment, Inc. will serve as Chief Executive Officer on an interim basis until an England-based CEO is named.
"Our strategic plan is coming to fruition as we move aggressively into the European marketplace, including with a dedicated company and team. Our top goal is to increase exposure to our game titles and increase sales, and we are launching a new web site, http://www.graffitiplay.com, to serve as a European sales platform," said Signature Devices, Inc. CEO Mart van der Velde.
"The world of gaming and the various platforms, especially the growing mobile app marketplace, is one where unique product such as ours can have a universal appeal.
