Are You Looking For ADA, OSHA, Safety and Compliance Signs?

SAFETY & COMPLIANCE SIGNS

To be a supplier of eye-catching and "brand-proper" Safety and Compliance products, you must have a keen eye for design that goes beyond knowledge of laws and regulations.

The Sign Studio has been delivering ADA & OSHA sign solutions for over 20 years. As signage consultants, we are constantly reviewing ADA & OSHA laws and regulations so our clients don't have to. We even create safety and compliance signage that acts as an attractive extension of your brand. We can include logos and color schemes to transform ordinary ADA & OSHA signs into extraordinary displays.

No matter your signage need, our expert designers can manufacture your interior safety and compliance sign package. From emergency exit, Braille signs and evacuation maps to bathroom signs, hazardous material labels and warning signs, we will have you up to code in no time.

Are you a new business who is opening a large retail location? Or a contractor who has a large facility being built? We offer a wide range of business services from project management and installation to ensure every area of your building is compliant.

We have created several types of OSHA and safety compliant signage for businesses or facilities across the country, including:
• Braille Signs
• Emergency Exit Signs
• Evacuation Maps
• Floor Graphics
• Handicap Access Signs • OSHA/Warning Signs
• Parking Permits
• Parking Signs
• Vinyl Lettering and Graphics

Does Your Sign Design Stand Out Or Does It Compete For Attention?

Does Your Sign Stand Out Or Does It Compete For Attention?

Signs Competing for Attention

Time Square Picture

Even if your sign looked good when it was alone on your computer screen, look what can happen when it lands in its final location, perched high up on a building. Your sign could lose impact when seen from the landscape of visual noise.

After walking through this scenario in Times Square, I asked some people if any one message stood out in their memory, to which they each replied "no". There was no "take away" message, no "call to action" that stuck in their minds after being exposed to this cluster of signage. Too many messages competing with one another do not result in a communication delivered to your audience.

When you are considering signage, or where to place a sign, take into account the surroundings it will be viewed in. You don't have to be considering a location like Times Square in New York. Even if you are designing signage for a tradeshow at a hotel or large hall venue, consider the competing signage and messaging that will exist there.

Design something that stands out amongst the visual noise. Don't just look at a design proof of your sign by itself only, but place it against a photo background of similar noise and distraction. This will help you see what needs to be done to get your message seen against a busy background.

A confused, unclear and unfocused sign is one that includes more information than is necessary.

 

Take the care to edit your message to its essential minimum-and think about the "white space" so to speak. Especially in a busy environment, such as a trade show or office lobby, you need to clear away a space so your message can be seen. It needs to "pop out" from the background scenery.

Where communicating an announcement or featuring a product, design your sign for quick, brief attention. Think about whether you want it seen at mid-distance or up close-or both.

 

In the "After" example above, the product is more visible and flows right into the text message. Before, it was sitting inside a white box by itself, not totally integrated with the whole.

As you can see, it's important to put some thought into how to best arrange any visual message.

If you have any further questions or need any help, please give us a call at The Sign Studio (818) 843-9200 or send us an e-mail at info@signstudiola.com.

Yard Signs, Sidewalk Signs and Coroplast Signs - Marketing Ideas!

Yard & Sidewalk Signs

Yard signs are attractive and colorful, and serve as the ideal visual solution for advertising all types of sales, events, openings and much more.

Yard signs allow you to advertise your work to larger outdoor audiences by, for instance, placing a sign at an unfinished construction site, or a visual progress "log" at a place where project development work is still ongoing. As additional advertising for your business, yard signs also allow you to, for example, ‘sign your name' to a particular service you are performing as a contractor at a given client site.

In the real estate industry, curbside yard signs help in promoting the attributes of properties given out for rent, or being put on the market for purchase. You can make use of small directional yard signs that easily point the way to new commercial and residential developments.

Cost-effective and informative, outdoor yard signs are a great way to get information to your potential customers quickly, and to establish a company identity through consistent use of your logo, "company colors" and other design elements. Yard signs are available in all shapes and sizes to fit your specific requirements.

• A-Frames
• Directional Signage
• Event Signage
• Feather Banners
• Flags
• Golf Tournament Signs
• Metal Signs
• Plastic Signs
• Real Estate Signs
