NHS Sign 6
It may appear to you that NHS signs are lacking in their ingenuity of design, but that is not the purpose of many NHS signs. The legibility and ease of understanding is more often than not, the overriding purpose of signs.
This NHS sign that you can see in the image to the right, is simple. Its purpose is to tell you where you are – that’s all it’s designed to do. So you might say the design is nearly perfect as the lettering is large and clear, the contrast between lettering and background is obvious, and the sign achieves its purpose.
The sign itself is created using aluminium composite, with a wide format printed panel placed over the top.

Health Sign
With the majority of NHS signs having a similar appearance, part of the corporate image, this is one that has some variation and adaptation to it.
Clearly you can see the corporate image, but instead of a flat aluminium composite sheet fixed to a wall, this is one that has been formed into a tray. With the wide format printed vinyl applied to the face, it then has some modular components added to let people change the name and/or add names.

Health Sign
By law the health signs that are in the UK, at least as far as the NHS goes, have one uniform colour and design. There is a little leeway on wording and sizes but there are rules on how signage must be designed.
Here you can see an NHS sign that is also a wayfinding sign.
Given that it is an NHS sign as mentioned, this is also a corporate sign because of the NHS logo.

Health Wayfinding Sign 25
A good example of an NHS sign, this is clearly a health sign for a hospital, but also very clearly a corporate sign because of the prominent and ever-present logo.
This health wayfinding sign is constructed using aluminium panels, that have been sprayed to achieve the right colour, and vinyl text that is applied to the panels. It is a modular sign construction, sturdy and found all over the UK, and will last for many years.

Health Wayfinding Sign 23
Here is a good picture of a collection of health wayfinding signs all in one place (before we sent them with the fitters for fitting).
Included in this collection are doorplates (the six at the top) which all conform to the standard required by the hospital (font size, arrow size, blue line underneath all doorplates) – these are classic vinyl text and graphics using hard foam boards and wayfinding signs, and the toilet signs at the bottom which should be considered to be aluminium signs.
