What are architectural signs?
Architectural signs are not just for architects! Architectural signs are “any custom sign that assists in identifying or wayfinding within a specific facility or campus”. Architectural signs include both exterior and interior signage -- monuments, metal plaques, 3-dimensional letters, etched glass or acrylic signs are all considered architectural signage. Building lettering, office directories, office suite and room signs, ADA compliant signs, evacuation maps and site plans, parking garage signs, foam monument signs, and aluminum entryway monuments are some examples of architectural signage.
Why choose architectural signs?
Architectural signs are often the first thing a potential customer or passerby will see. Have you ever been put off by a store’s inability to professionally identify themselves? With so many businesses to choose from, especially in competitive markets like real estate or retail, having custom business signage that not only identifies a company or business, but exudes professionalism and creates a lasting impression can attract customers and create a loyal following. So, whether you are promoting a hot new restaurant, residential or commercial real estate properties, or a boutique retail shop, be sure your business’ exterior looks its best and invest in custom architectural signage.
How do I design an architectural sign?
You should have your architectural sign professionally designed. Professional graphic designers, especially those who have experience in designing business signage, will know just how to gracefully combine all the essentials your signage should have - like your business’ name, logo, or tag line with design elements that emotionally connect with customers. Your sign should identify your business and be informative, but also be welcoming to guests and help build confidence that potential customers have come to the right place for their business. Combining all these elements in your business’ sign can be tricky, so hiring a professional designer is worth the investment. If you are a design firm, you probably have experts on staff who can design your business’ sign. If you are not a design firm, or not design savvy, not to worry! Here at McNamara Signs we have graphic designers onsite who can help you design your sign and see your project through to completion.
What format does the design need to be?
Once you have a design for your architectural sign - whether your signage is for an interior office sign or lobby plaque, or an external 3-dimensional monument, you can submit the design to us for production. We can accept artwork in a variety of formats (but please try to avoid napkin sketches!), however, professionally designed artwork in the most appropriate format can save you money and help the process run smoother.
