Where are you in the Wayfinding Signage Planning Process?

Our wayfinding planning and signage experts can assist you with one or all of the following stages.

In this beginning stage, we will discuss your immediate wayfinding needs. After a brief overview of your facility’s main objectives and processing of initial information we will make recommendations for moving forward.

2 Step

SITE SIGNAGE REVIEW AND SURVEY

During this visit to your facility, we will gather the necessary information to create your Master Wayfinding Signage Plan. We will collect details, take photographs and assess your facility’s interior and/or exterior environment in order to properly recommend the correct wayfinding signage solutions.

3 Step

DESIGN OPTIONS

We will create “Architectural Signage Families” using your brand specific colors, logos and/or signature marks. Our designers will work closely with you to create a comprehensive wayfinding signage design that clearly reflects your institution’s brand identity as well as functional needs.

At this point in the process, we will create a complete set of specifications that contains all of the signage details necessary for a successful wayfinding plan (interior and/or exterior applications) and provide it to you electronically as well as in hard copy full color format. Plans can then be implemented, based on costs, in phases or as a complete program.
