Custom wayfinding signs may be a necessity but that does not mean they need to be boring. While nearly everyone can agree that wayfinding signs are a big help in getting around, especially in a busy or complicated building, not all custom wayfinding signage is equal. One of our clients recently asked us to create a set of dimensional letters to use as hallway room signs, adding both function and style to their unique preschool in Oceanside, CA.
The letter in the image below is one example of the full set of 50-dimensional letters we custom designed and manufactured for our client. Each room label was scaled to the desired size as specified by our client. The letters were all made from 1/4” thick flat cut aluminum with a brushed finish, and an in-lined overlay of maple Formica faces, chosen for style, durability, and its modern but playful look.
Children’s Paradise, our client, runs a preschool/infant center in Oceanside, as well as several other centers around the area. Every center is special and unique to its students and their families, but they all share some similar qualities — Children’s Paradise takes great care in providing quality care to every one of their students.
We wanted to match that great care with our own products and services. For Children’s Paradise, as with any client, we provided long-lasting signs, built from solid materials that look good and will stay looking good for years to come. For Children’s Paradise, we knew we needed to make custom wayfinding signs that fit the aesthetic of the center and are suited to a children’s environment. To that end, the signs are wipeable, durable, and legible for the students and their families. The signs provide direction in a way that is completely unambiguous, and they are consistently placed throughout the building.
To create these custom wayfinding signs, and any other sign we make for our clients, we start with a consultation. Through this process, we find out exactly what our clients need, and how we can best provide it. We go through every aspect of the project from design ideas, materials, and colors, to price, what services are needed, and any customization our clients may need. We enhanced our services by including stud mounts and installation templates for the letters.
The great service we provided to Children’s Paradise is something we can provide for you, too. You will benefit from all of our sign design, manufacturing, and installation skills and experience, our access to quality sign making materials, and our dedication to our clients.
