What is a Directory Sign? A directory sign is a sign that displays a list tenants and/or directional guidance for a commercial or residential building. Directory signs are one of the main solutions used for interior and exterior information and navigation to help guide customers to their destination. Uses for Directory Signs [caption id="attachment_2421" align="alignright" width="257"] Custom Exterior Directory Signage[/caption] Directory signs are necessary for multi-tenant retail spaces, office buildings, multi-unit commercial spaces, and apartment/condominium buildings. Guests and customers need guidance when navigating these spaces to determine where to go or which number to call in order to find a retail location or see the person or people they came to see. Custom directory signs that communicate building locations clearly make a positive first impression on building visitors with a directory sign that gives a professional image. They make it simple and fast to find every business, amenity, and department in your venue. Additionally, these signs have virtually no maintenance issues. Directory signage systems don’t have to be just another necessary addition to your project. When designed properly, they can be an enhancement to both the interior and exterior environment of any building, campus, park trail or any other place that people need to get navigate with ease. Effective Directory Signage Systems [caption id="attachment_2423" align="alignleft" width="172"] Custom Interior Directory Sign[/caption] The approach to designing an effective directory sign package is to understand that above all else, directory signs need to be functional. But how exactly does a sign “function” properly? It’s more than simply placing names or arrows on a panel and mounting to a wall.  Effective  functionality is all about the way in which directory signs present information. When in an unfamiliar space, people look to directory signage to quickly guide them to where they are going. This means that visual appearance, clarity of information being conveyed and location/positioning of the sign is PARAMOUNT.  At Paramount Signs, we focus on the details for your directory signage systems.
