Can ADA Signs Be Attractive?

Standard ADA Signage Example

Yes, of course ADA signs can be attractive. While the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Tactile & Braille Signage Code is designed to afford those with disabilities full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, or accommodations, these signs need not be unattractive. Although the ADA guidelines define font size, contrast and other criteria, there is no specific design criteria related to aesthetics. The addition of a sign frame, or for that matter adding the ability to incorporate and change printed inserts, can make an ADA sign more visually attractive. What is important is to understand what the guidelines say about color contrast and appropriate icons while incorporating design flexibility in the areas where it is allowed. SignWorks understands these guidelines and will make sure that your signs are compliant yet visually attractive. 

In fact, SignWorks is currently working with a local commercial property management company that is renovating one of its buildings. The entire package includes ADA compliant room identification signs, restrooms, etc. which will incorporate a custom designed sign frame. If you are renovating or building a new building call SignWorks today at (510) 357-2000. We will work with you to develop a look that is both attractive and ADA compliant.
