Airports are chaos in motion. Imagine the crowds—rushing, waiting, weaving. Everyone’s on a deadline and every second counts. What happens when the signs don’t help? Travelers get lost. Flights get missed. Frustration rises. That’s where Legacy Custom Signs & Graphics comes in. Our Castle Rock team serves Greenwood Village and beyond, turning airports from mazes into pathways. Directional signs aren’t just decorations—they’re lifelines. They guide, direct, and calm the storm.
It starts with the basics. Overhead signs lead the way from security to the gates. Wall-mounted signs point out restrooms, baggage claims, and exits. Floor graphics? They keep paths accessible and intuitive, making sure no one gets left behind. Each sign plays a part, but it’s the system that matters. We design signage that speaks the same visual language, creating a flow where every sign connects to the next. It’s more than just a marker—it’s a map.
Built Tough, Built Smart
Airport signs need to be as tough as the environment they’re in. Think about it—24/7 traffic, constant cleaning, and relentless exposure. Aluminum for overhead signs is a no-brainer. Lightweight but strong, it holds up under pressure and stays clear for years. For wall-mounted signs, anti-glare acrylic does the trick. No matter how harsh the lighting, the message stays visible, sharp, and readable. And floor graphics? We use high-density polyethylene—sturdy enough for thousands of footsteps and tough enough for industrial cleaners. It’s about using materials that make sense and last.
Typography That Travels
Big. Bold. Straightforward. When travelers are on the move, they need signs that speak clearly. No room for fancy fonts or squint-inducing text. We choose sans-serif fonts like Helvetica and Arial—simple, clean, and visible from afar. Passengers need to get information in seconds, not struggle to decipher a sign when time is tight.
And it’s not just about English. Airports are global spaces. Our signs include universal symbols and multilingual text to bridge language gaps, ensuring every traveler knows where to go, no matter their destination or origin.
Color Coded Clarity
Color isn’t decoration; it’s a code. Blue for wayfinding. Yellow for cautions. Green for exits. It’s not about making things pretty; it’s about making things work. Travelers see these colors and know instantly what they mean. That’s efficiency. We also coat our signs with non-reflective finishes to eliminate glare. Why? Because it’s essential. Lighting in airports shifts from natural daylight to bright terminal fluorescents. Our signs adapt, staying readable in any light.
Light Up the Path
Airports never sleep, and neither should their signs. Our LED backlit designs provide 24/7 visibility. LEDs are efficient and built to last, so they’re perfect for terminal environments. For outdoor signage—parking lots and drop-off zones—we go solar. Solar-powered signs save energy while keeping the message bright and clear. The result? Signs that work whenever travelers need them. No guesswork. No shadows. Just clarity, day or night.
Installing with Precision
Design isn’t enough. Installation is the game-changer. An overhead sign? It’s got to stay steady. We secure these with high-tensile steel cables, ensuring they don’t sway or shift. Wall-mounted signs? We use tamper-proof hardware because security isn’t optional. Every sign is positioned, angled, and tested for maximum visibility. The goal is simple: no matter where you stand, you see the sign. You know where to go. That’s the power of precision.
The Digital Advantage
Traditional signs are reliable. But digital signs? They’re next-level. Imagine a flight delay or a gate change—digital signs adapt instantly. Updates roll out in real-time, keeping travelers informed and airports efficient. Legacy Custom Signs & Graphics brings this technology to Greenwood Village, syncing displays with airport systems for seamless communication. It’s about delivering the right message, at the right time, every time.
Following the Rules
Regulations aren’t optional—they’re the rulebook. ADA and FAA guidelines dictate everything from text size to placement. We know those rules like the back of our hand. Every sign we create is ADA-compliant, ensuring accessibility for all travelers with tactile features, braille, and proper contrast. We also meet FAA standards for readability and visibility, so every sign is not just effective but legally sound. At Legacy Custom Signs & Graphics, we don’t just follow the rules; we build with them in mind.
Legacy Custom Signs & Graphics doesn’t just make signs; we make airports work. Our Castle Rock-based company serves Greenwood Village and neighboring cities, delivering signs that transform airports from confusion into clarity. Ready to see the difference? Let’s create a pathway that works for every traveler, every time.
