What Is Architectural Signage?
Architectural signage does more than simply show the way to occupants and visitors. It incorporates your brand identity and directions into the very architecture of the structure (hence the name). It takes signage beyond imagery and words that people, sometimes subconsciously, use to find their way and becomes an experience they have with the space they’re in.
Architectural signage is designed with precision and purpose so that it can seamlessly fit in with your building’s aesthetic. It should helpfully guide visitors while creating a lasting impression that uplifts your space.
Key features of architectural signage include:
- Building integration
- Large format
- Oversized imagery or wording
- A physical, dominating presence
- Thoughtful placement that’s not easily accessible
From directional signage leading to entrances, exits, and facilities to bold, permanent graphics that shape a room’s identity, architecture signage is built to last. Whether you’re integrating architectural exterior signage or interior architectural wayfinding signage, it’s built to stand the test of time and the elements to stay sharp and functional through years of exposure and use.
At Bell Company, Inc., we combine quality materials, cohesive design elements, and expert craftsmanship to create architectural building signage that’s practical and visually compelling. Creating architectural signage products that effortlessly blend into the design and function of a space is both an art and a science. We put our more than seven decades of experience to work for you to craft signage architecture that improves navigation, strengthens your brand presence, and adds an aesthetic layer to the building itself.
What Is Architectural Signage Made Of?
Choosing the right materials for architectural signage systems is absolutely essential to its lifespan and durability. As part of your building’s identity, we take great care to match these elements to the structure itself so the signage doesn’t begin to deteriorate or show signs of serious wear and tear long before the building itself.
That’s why our architectural signage company uses premium materials specifically selected and designed for their longevity, resilience, and aesthetic versatility. Each material is carefully chosen based on the sign’s placement and purpose so we can ensure it not only looks amazing but also performs well under various conditions.
