Make signage design an integral part of your branding.
Signage is part of your corporate identity, so we think it deserves just as much attention.
Our signage designers can ensure that all your signage – from a simple door sign to large wall-mounted signage systems are both on-brand and effective.
Office signage design often ends up being printed and laminated in the office and just stuck to the wall.
Consider how this reflects on your brand – it doesn’t look great!
We can work with you to develop signage design concepts. We start by looking at signage design ideas and inspiration – collecting designs on mood boards for discussion and creative direction.
Our design team will then work up potential designs on paper, sharing lots of different ideas with you.
Once we have the direction, we’ll develop the initial designs on the Macs and start to finalise and artwork your signage designs.

Expert Signage Design for Long-Term Success:
“Signage design isn’t just about creating a visual that stands out – it’s about crafting a solution that communicates clearly key messages. The design process starts by considering the sign’s location and ensuring the materials chosen are appropriate for that setting, whether it’s indoor, outdoor, or exposed to the elements.
We focus on practical aspects such as how the sign will be attached, the type of surface it will adhere to, and what information needs to be conveyed. Additionally, we ensure that designs comply with local planning restrictions. The lifespan of the sign also plays a role, as we choose materials that ensure durability without compromising visual impact.
The goal is to create signage that effectively serves its purpose – whether it’s guiding people, promoting a brand, or conveying important information – while maintaining brand consistency.

There are many different options for production.
From the more budget-end, such as mounted foam board, to higher-end products such as printing on metal, there are 100s of options available.
Depending on your budget, we can suggest options for the best way to produce your signage.
Certain signage, such as safety signage design, will need to meet certain criteria, and there’s also the final usage to consider – outdoor signage needs to be robust, whereas indoor signage systems can be more refined and elaborate.
Our design team have experience in working with a wide range of signage materials and can advise you on the best options for you.
