Wayfinding Signs

Wayfinding Signs map directory wayfinding outdoor post panel 300x206Wayfinding signs are eminent communication tools that can do more than just help people find their way around a business establishment or community. They allow customers and guests to save time, an invaluable resource, in finding certain locations and promote orderliness by showing traffic regulations to both motorists and pedestrians.

There are several types of wayfinding signage but all of them are designed to accomplish two goals: to give direction as well as to promote a company or organization to people for which the signs are intended.

Popular Types of Wayfinding Signs

Identifications Signs

Indoors, they can be electronic signs or neon signs outside individual stores in malls and shopping centers or door signs outside offices or a doctor’s clinic.

Directional Signs

Other places where we commonly find custom wayfinding signs are malls, hospitals, schools, manufacturing plants, and parking areas of hotels and condominiums. In malls, they are usually hung in ceilings to show customers the way to the rest rooms, the departments store or supermarket, and the food courts.

In hospitals, they help people find the way to the nurse’s station, the pharmacy, the emergency room, the ICU, the elevators, stairs and the fire exit, and so on. It is nearly impossible to imagine any place without proper wayfinding signage.

Temporary Signs

In addition to long-standing directional signs, wayfinding signs can also include temporary signs in event venues and construction sites. Safety signs that tell people it’s a hard hat area or a restricted area are some of the examples. Retractable banner signs and a-frame signs strategically placed in hotel lobbies or corridors also help guests find their way to a seminar or event they’re attending.

Whether you need one fascia sign for your restaurant or a bunch of portable sandwich boards for your construction site, Island Signs and Graphics is ready to accommodate your needs. You can also choose from a wide variety of materials to use. From the more durable aluminum and acrylic signs to temporary vinyl banners, you have the option to select a material that suits your purpose.
