OVERVIEW

About wayfinding & directional

Wayfinding is the process of getting from place to place, and as a signage discipline it sits close to architecture and environmental design. At its best it becomes part of the visitor experience. At its worst it becomes a frustrating distraction. The challenge is to create clear, functional visuals without diluting the basic job of helping people navigate.

That matters most in museums, galleries, attractions and events, where satisfaction often depends on how easily guests can move through the space. It applies just as much to offices, plants and commercial sites. Visitors should be able to explore without disorientation or anxiety, regardless of differences in physical or cognitive ability, language or past experience.

FAQ

Wayfinding & Directional FAQ

Still have a question? Call 905-662-1110 or send us your project details.

What is the difference between wayfinding and directional signs?

Directional signs point people toward a destination. Wayfinding is the wider system of directional, identification and information signs working together to help people navigate a space.

Can wayfinding signage be accessible?

Yes. Clear layouts, strong contrast and legible type help everyone. For tactile and Braille requirements, we also produce Braille signs that can be part of the same system.

Can the signs match our branding?

Absolutely. A good system stays easy to read while using your colours, fonts and style so it feels like part of your space.
