Effective wayfinding signage can greatly improve the customer experience in corporate spaces in several ways. Wayfinding signs can help customers navigate through a space easily and efficiently. This reduces the time and effort spent by customers trying to find their way, resulting in a more positive experience. Wayfinding signs can create a sense of professionalism and organization within a corporate space. This can convey a positive image of the company to customers and leave a lasting impression.
A successful wayfinding sign should have the following key elements:
Clear and legible text: The text on a wayfinding sign should be easy to read and understand, with a font size and style that is appropriate for the viewing distance.
Simple and concise messaging: Wayfinding signs should convey information in a straightforward manner, using minimal words or symbols to avoid confusion.
Use of recognizable symbols and icons: Using universally understood symbols and icons can help convey information quickly and efficiently to customers, especially those who may not speak the language or have limited literacy.
Consistent design: Keeping a consistent design throughout all wayfinding signs in a space will create a cohesive visual experience for customers and make it easier for them to navigate.
Interior wayfinding signs are typically made from durable materials that can withstand wear and tear, as well as being visually appealing. Some common materials used for interior wayfinding signs include:
Acrylic: Acrylic is commonly used due to its durability and flexibility in design options. It can be easily shaped, cut, and printed on.
Metal: Metal signs are strong and long-lasting, making them a great choice for high-traffic areas. They can also be customized with different finishes and textures.
Vinyl: Vinyl signs are cost-effective and versatile, with options for both indoor and outdoor use. They can be easily printed on and are weather-resistant.
Wood: Wooden signs add a natural and rustic touch to indoor spaces. They can be carved, painted, or printed on depending on the desired look.
Color and contrast play a crucial role in making wayfinding signage effective. The right combination of colors can help guide customers' attention to important information and make it easier for them to navigate through a space. Here are some key points to keep in mind:
Use high contrast: High contrast between background and text colors can make the sign more visible and legible, especially for customers with visual impairments.
Keep it simple: Avoid using too many colors on one sign as it can be overwhelming and confusing. Stick to a simple color palette that is easy on the eyes.
Consider lighting: The lighting in a space can affect how colors appear, so it's important to test signage in different lighting conditions for optimal visibility.
Wayfinding systems can be installed in a variety of ways, depending on the specific needs and layout of a space. Here are some common installation methods:
Wall-mounted: Signs can be mounted directly onto walls using screws or adhesive mounts to create impactful standoff mounted signs or wall displays.
Ceiling-hung: For larger spaces or areas with high ceilings, signs can be suspended from the ceiling using hooks or cables.
Freestanding: Wayfinding signs can be installed as standalone structures, such as information kiosks or directories.
Floor graphics: In some cases, floor graphics can be used to guide customers through a space or highlight important areas.
