10 CREATIVE WAYFINDING SIGNS
Wayfinding signs can often feel like they all look the same, and that they don’t offer the stylistic flexibility that many businesses are looking for. On the contrary, wayfinding signs can take on a surprising amount of forms and are incredibly variable.
This week AGC Signs has put together a helpful list of ideas that your business can use as inspiration when researching and deciding on what type of new wayfinding signs to install at your workplace.

When searching for a sign that complements the scenery, wooden signs are the way to go. The dried, pressed wood is resistant to rot and decay, and it can be stained in different colours to make them stand out.
Wayfinding signs like the one above are perfect for adding some guidance to an outdoor park or conservatory with lots of paths so visitors can navigate the pedestrian trails.
Sign #2 - Slatted Office Sign

This type of sign is ideal for larger buildings containing many different smaller businesses or distinct offices. Once installed, the slats can either be labelled with stickers or swapped out as new tenants enter and leave the building.
Sign #3 - Custom Stickers

Custom stickers are the perfect opportunity to highlight your creative side.
Stickers can take almost any form and can provide any label or instructions you like. Their low price and immense customizability make them a low-investment purchase, ideal for when you want to test out a new look for an interior wall.
Sign #4 - Pedestrian Waymarking Post

If you manage a property with a large enough outdoor walking space that wayfinding signs are in order, sometimes all you need is a functional, durable waymarking post.
Evoking feelings of rural hiking and the woods, waymarking posts blend into their natural setting. As on the sign above, these posts cannot hold more than a few bits of information, but often that’s all you need.
Sign #5 - Printed Graphics on Glass

Advertise office space, housing for sale, or an exciting new business promotion using printed glass graphics. This type of sign does require large windows to achieve the same effect as the picture above, but even smaller signs can still hold printed graphics as required.
Sign #6 - Layered Wall Sign

A great deal of subtle elegance can be infused into space by combining unusual mediums together, just like in art. This particular sign above uses matte plastic on woodgrain, making use of a striking colour contrast of white on wood.
Additionally, the intriguing layers add an extra element of visual excitement that a simple flat panel wouldn’t be able to achieve.
Sign #7 - Traditional Fingerpost

Occasionally function is fused with aesthetics in such a way to make a truly irreplaceable item. Traditional, outdoor, metal fingerposts are one such item.
Solid metal signs can last decades, ideal for relaxing gardens or highly-trafficked park spaces.
Sign #8 - motivational Internal Vinyls

An alternative spin on custom wall stickers: why not announce your department with an unmistakable message? Stickers allow your signage to defy convention. Stickers, text and images can be placed on any interior wall, the only limit is your imagination.
Sign #9 - Retail Department Post

Any large store requires wayfinding signs to assist customers in locating the products they are looking for.
Because they do not need to stand up to the elements, interior signs can take more creative shapes. The sign above displays the company branding, while also listing significant departments with both eye-catching colours and fun shapes.
Sign #10 - Parking lot Navigation

Any industrial park or large parking lot needs to guide visitors and clients around the large space to their appropriate destinations.
