Signs By Type

Our signage products can also be broken down into types: informational, directional, identification and safety. 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.

Sign Types

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.

Our sign systems fall into basically four different categories or types: information, direction, identification and safety.

Information	Type 1: this category includes all those signs that distribute information concerning names of staff personnel, the name of the company, department or even a room. These signs are also 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 Informational Signs.

Direction	Type 2: this category includes all those signs that show visitors to your facility which direction to go to reach their destination. Since these signs can be changeable or fixed, you could go with either the cirque or elipse sign system. Also see Directional Signs.

Identification	Type 3: this category includes all those signs that 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 Identification Signs.

Safety	Type 4: this category includes all those signs 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 Safety Signs.
