Interior Signage Is not Only Helpful but Also Mandatory

Compared to signs that are used outdoors, interior signs tend not to get as much creative thought

from companies. However, the outside signs are actually less important than what is on the

inside. Even if the signage is just showing people how to get elsewhere in a large or small

building, there is an array of creative designs that can be used with interior signage.

Lobby Signs

Without requiring personal help,

you can make your company

appear more welcoming when

you use more interior signs. Let’s

start with the lobby. When you

first enter a business, you set the

mood for your customers with a

lobby sign featuring your

business’s logo. Or, you can

garner instant attention with some

other customized lobby sign.

These signs should not have any

other distractions around them.

They should stand alone. You

have a better chance of your sign making a statement and standing out if there is blank wall

space around it.

Wayfinding Signs

In helping people find their way around, wayfinding signs are the most used type of interior

signage. If you have a building with multiple departments and numerous floors, they are

indispensable. Or, if you have products located in certain sections or multiple suites, wayfinding

signs can also be used on a single floor plan. A wayfinding sign that uses arrows to show where

different departments are located is popular.

Placed on a wall or stand, general directories are also a type of wayfinding sign. Though it is

preferable to keep your signage as easy to understand as possible, they can be customized to give

as much detail as needed. To help people find their way, all that is really needed is the section

number or floor and the name of a department. You will also want to indicate where the

restrooms are located.

ADA Signs

With the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act, a whole host of regulations and laws

were put into place requiring businesses to make their building accessible to those with

disabilities. You want to make visitors to your building feel as welcome as possible. This

includes adding braille below indoor signage and providing signs that outline exit routes for

people in wheelchairs. Signworld companies are well-versed in state, federal, and local laws and

will keep you from getting fined.

Promotional Signs

Blank windows and walls in your building provide a great opportunity for you to promote just

about anything. You can make company initiatives stand out or just add decorative signage for

the holidays. Busy walkways are an ideal place for these types of interior signage. Whether you

are promoting something temporarily or long term, promotional signs are a great option.

All of these interior signage types are completely customizable. Plus, there are many other

varieties that are not listed above. Signworld companies pride themselves on being able to meet

the needs of all of their clients.
