A lot of wayfinding signs tend to be fairly uniform in their design, but this is a chance to be more creative without going overboard with a lot of splashy colors and complicated designs.

We recently spotted a few Pinterest boards that showed ( wayfinding signs as pieces of art (also here), and while a lot of the signs may not have been a good fit for some businesses, we liked the flair and artistry that went into the signs, and would like to see more clients be bold in their choices.

For example, there was a Museum of Contemporary Art that had painted an entire pillar with the floor number, a giant number 4 on a black pillar, covering two sides of the pillar. There were several examples of brushed steel and brushed aluminum 3D letters used for floor number, suite number, and company names for some high-end office buildings. We even liked the vinyl letters that had been adhered upside down to a window, so that when the sun shone through, the words were spelled out on the floor in the shadow.

Wayfinding signs are more than just functional pieces of information. They can add to the overall customer experience of your business or visitors. They can add to the decor while still providing directions and information to your visitors.

Outside wayfinding signs are sometimes a different matter. They're often controlled by state and local regulations, and often require a sign permit. Your Signarama professionals can not only help you with the design, but they can help you with the permit processes as well.
