Is your office space looking a little bleak? Have you been wondering how to increase the visual appeal of your office for both customers and employees in order to leave a great impression? Or maybe you’re just looking to add some functionality. If so, continue reading below where we will cover three common types of signs used in offices today, and describe what purpose and function they serve. Office Wall Murals When you stop and take a look at your office walls, do they seem a little boring, bland, and bleak? A wall mural can be a great way to spruce up those walls and bring new life into a blank and uninspired space. But what is a wall mural? Simply put, a wall mural is any piece of artwork painted or applied directly on a wall. There are two main ways to apply murals to a wall. The first is to hire a painter and have them create the artwork that you want on the wall. This however can be very time consuming and expensive, and you’re never sure if it’s going to come out exactly how you want or not. The second option is to purchase a vinyl mural that can be applied in minutes, will come out exactly as you want it, and will last almost indefinitely with proper care. If you’re having trouble thinking of what type of wall mural to get for your office, here are some ideas: - Your mission and values statement - A motivational photo - Abstract graphics - Your company’s history - Your logo Directional Signage This one’s not too complicated, and hardly needs any explanation. Directional office signage is any type of sign that helps guide clients, customers, employees, contractors, etc. to where they need to go. These signs come in a variety of forms, including vinyl floor decals, hanging PVC signs, door signs, acrylic office signs, and elevator wraps. Directional signs are vital for any office so that people can easily navigate your building from the time they pull into the parking lot, to the time they get to the specific room they need to find. Office Window Graphics Office window graphics are great because they can be easily applied and are able to serve a multitude of purposes. The three main types of office window graphics are perforated window vinyl, etched glass window graphics, and static cling decals. The type of window graphic you use will depend on what its purpose is and what will go best with the overall look of the room. But what sort of information should go on window graphics? There’s no one correct answer, but here are some ideas to get you started: - Stimulating visuals that describe what you do - Your office hours - Your contact information, including any social media profiles and your website - Your logo - Special sales events or promotions - Upcoming events or celebrations Whatever type of signage you choose, you can rest assured that here at James River Signs we will produce your signs in a timely, cost effective, and professional manner.
