The Tam-Tam company was established in 1990. Our first poster panels were set up in Vrhnika in 1991, followed by Ljubljana in 1993. Along with setting up panels in Ljubljana we have also manufactured our first type of panels, then named Melita panels. Their format was equal to the present-day City panels.

With the development of industry a requirement for higher quality panels was needed, in 1996 we therefore, in collaboration with Quadrat design and Mr. Vladimir Pezdirc, created a new type of panels, now known as City panel. The project was awarded a prestigious international prize for industrial design DIDA 99'. Today City panel represents a standard in the poster advertising industry, as there are nearly no major spots in Slovenia without the City panels. Because of its all-round quality, fine minimalistic design and simply excellent look and the universal demand for this type of urban equipment, quite a few "imitations" or copies of City panels, that at the first glance seem genuine, have been emerging lately. Due to the copyright and appropriate protection (trademark registered with The Slovenian Intellectual Property Office), we report to legal action in such cases.

In the nineties the posters set up were mostly in the B1 and B2 format (and rarely B0) but with the printing developments a new poster format has been installed. We have named it after the panels - City poster, dimensions 140 x 200 cm (equivalent to 2 x B0 or 4 x B1). Today the City posters are dominating, the B1 posters still come to sight and we can see the smallest B2 formats in smaller places.
