Wayfinding Sign 49
Many large buildings, and in this case a University, need extensive wayfinding signs to make sure people can get to their destination. Clear and concise these wayfinding signs need to be simple and easy to understand.
This projecting sign is created from aluminium composite which has the information printed using wide format printing, and another protective layer of vinyl added on top of that.

Vinyl Sign 60
We do design, create and manufacture a lot of wide format printed signs, but sometimes they are quite large and interestingly challenging, just like this one.
With strong single colours, such as the dark blue and the lighter blue, the quality has to be picture perfect, and this is one reason we ask for vector-based images rather than bitmaps (see here for our blog entry).
The resulting wide format printed vinyl is clean and clear.
It should be noted that in this case, the printed vinyl is applied to a strong aluminium composite sheet.

Vinyl Sign 61
Some wide format printed vinyl signs that we create are not as simple as others, and some like this one are full of useful information, so they have to be created and crafted carefully. In this case the customer provided the artwork.
Although you can’t see this, this is a wide format printed vinyl sign that is printed onto a vinyl substrate that is bonded to an aluminium blank.
You might also notice the multitude of corporate symbols along the bottom of the sign, these have to be large enough to be seen when reading the sign, but also not too large as to be in the way.

Vinyl Sign 58
This is an interesting bespoke sign because we don’t use a great amount of mirrored vinyl, but when we do it looks really good, very impressive.
The aluminium plate is used as a solid backdrop for the dark grey vinyl that holds the relief cut letters.
The mirrored vinyl itself has to be treated carefully, and applied with some degree of skill. The result truly is a bespoke sign.

Wayfinding Sign 46
There are many kinds of wayfinding sign and the large majority of those placed inside as directories are created using replaceable slatz that can be moved around as needed.
This is the same kind of wayfinding sign but as you can see, it is all one piece. The vinyl lettering is the heart of the wayfinding aspect of the sign.
The sign itself is fixed to the wall using sturdy but simple aluminium locators.

Bespoke Sign 53
Not all signs can be glamorous or shiny, many signs are straightforward and functional and here is one bespoke sign that fits that last bill. It’s a lockable cabinet which contains valuable information to those who use the Meridian Leisure Centre.
The backing for the lockable cabinet is achieved using aluminium composite with a wide format printed vinyl on top (for the swish pattern among other things).
The blank areas are for the customer to put their own pictures and titles into.
It is usable and easy to clean, functional and not obtrusive, perfect for the job.

Wayfinding Sign 44
Like many kinds of signs, wayfinding signs come in all shapes and sizes. Some are plain and simple with just one or two directions, others like this one are complex and compact, holding a lot of information.
The aim of course is to make it clear to someone who is lost, how to find where they are going. That’s not always easy, but with directories like this, with clearly defined floors, it makes it a little easier.
You can also see that in this case, text is enhanced with symbols.
This sign is created using aluminium and vinyl text.

Bespoke Sign 52
This style of aluminium sign is becoming very popular, probably because it is iconic and draws a lot of attention. With the right design on it it can be part of the architecture rather than pointing people towards it.
The photograph itself is very good, showing the sign is full sunshine next to the building (on the right). Clearly you can see the name of the place, the Carnegie Pavilion, and the corporate logo at the very top, the Leeds Metropolitan University logo.
Another feature to point out is one of the main features of this monolith – the wayfinding map right in the middle. Someone wanting to know where they are in relation to other buildings would have no problem finding that out using this rather amazing bespoke sign.
