Signs By Kind

Our sign systems fall into basically three different categories or kinds: changeable, permanent, combination or 3 Dimensional. Once you have decided that you want to implement a wayfinding sign program for your facility, we will present you with a Wayfinding Sign Program Proposal. This proposal will outline a five step program that begins with:

A Sign Audit - where we will visit your facility to audit your existing sign system.
A New Program Plan - where we will outline a plan that best suits your facility and meets all of your needs.
Design and Product Selection - which selects the sign systems that best serves the plan outlined above.
Manufacturing and Site Preparation - we will manufacture the products and prepare the site for their installation.
Installation - we complete the program by installing all of the signs and show you how to use the various keys and tools to make the changes when necessary.

Signs by Kind

A major part of our wayfinding program involves deciding which sign systems best suit the needs of your facility, i.e., whether or not you will need to change the information in the signs on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. In such a case as this you would choose a sign system that was fairly flexible or changeable. We also offer signs that can be permanent or a combination of both.

Information	Changeable: this category includes all those signs that can be changed on a daily, weekly or monthly basis for distributing information concerning everything from the names of staff personnel, to the name of the company, department or even a room. Changeable signs can be used to distribute information about floor plans, to display pictures, directories, notices, schedules and regulations. Since this type of sign must be changeable, you might consider using the tablet sign system. Also see Changeable Signs.

Direction	Permanent: this category includes all those signs that are meant to be permanently displayed and will never be altered in any way. These kinds of signs might show visitors to your facility which direction to go to reach their destination. Since these signs are not changeable but fixed, you could go with either the cirque or elipse sign system. Also See Permanent Signs.

Identification	Combination: this category includes all those signs that be changed on a regular basis or can be fixed. The combination allows you flexibility in the future should things change. They can identify the location of a room, a particular person, area or some other entity. Since the locations of staff, rooms and so on, do not change that often, you can go with a sign system that allows for change, but is fairly permanent. In this case, you would probably have to choose between the tablet and elipse systems. Also See Combination Signs.

Safety	Three Dimensional: this category includes all those signs that offer 3 dimensional graphics that deal with safety issues and inform visitors to your facility what to do in case of emergencies, what they should or should not do while they are in the building. Since most of these signs will display the rules and guidelines of the building, these signs are usually permanent. You might think about selecting the tablet system if you think that you might need to change these signs. Otherwise, you should probably choose the Elipse system. Also See Three Dimensional Signs.
