How Creative Signage Can Transform The Look Of Your Business Premises

Exterior Sign

First on the list was updating our exterior sign. We opted for an aluminium composite sign tray for a couple of reasons. First of all, they look great! With no visible fixings and projecting 40mm from the wall, a sign tray gives a lovely 3D effect that we think looks much better than a flat Dibond sign panel. Secondly, as we wanted to include a small backlit/illuminated section of our sign, the 40mm return/projection helps us to store/conceal unsightly wiring.

Sticking with the 3D signage theme, we opted for built-up 3D letters. These were made from white acrylic and fitted to the sign tray, using stand-offs to give it that extra bit of depth.

The icon element of our logo was produced from 3mm Alupanel (aluminium composite). It was printed and profile / fret cut to shape prior to being fitted to the sign tray. Once again with stand-offs to add depth.

We’ve had lots of different types of signage over the years, but we’d never had an illuminated sign, until now. As you will see from the image above, we have a section with our core services, ‘Design, Print, Web, Signage’. This part was achieved by fret cutting the sign tray face and backing with acrylic. Energy efficient, low voltage LED modules are then used to illuminate the sign when turned on.

Interior Signage

Custom interior signage is a great way to show off your brand and bring your office or workspace to life. Every wall becomes a blank canvas so it’s the perfect opportunity to get creative.

We’d made minor tweaks to the interior since relocating here, but never anything on this scale. Before starting on the signage we decided to decorate and luckily found a paint that matched our brand colours perfectly. This colour was used at various locations throughout our offices and compliments the signage nicely.

Reception Signage

When asked to design and install interior signage for our clients, one of the most common locations we’re asked to look at is the reception area. This is usually the first part of your premises that your customer will see so it’s a good chance to form a great first impression.

In our reception we have two sliding glass panels which we decided to cover with a mixture of frosted and printed vinyl. Frosted vinyl is a very versatile material as it gives you privacy whilst still allowing light to get through.

We also decided to add wayfinding signage that leads through to our meeting room. For this, we opted for a full colour vinyl print applied to an 8mm clear acrylic panel. This was then fitted to the door using chrome stand-offs which raises the panel from the door and adds a nice effect.
