Here at Eagle Signs and Graphics, we are working with a local Fire dept that is building a new facility and needs to have all of their doors properly labeled. This can present a couple issues, first and foremost is the type of signs that are required. Well for restrooms, you will need to have ADA (American with disabilities act) signs which will have the text along with braille on them for the sight impaired. The rest of the doors are required to have a sign on them with some kind of description, so in case of an emergency, you are not trying to exit and end up in the closet or store room and get trapped. So each door needs to be clearly labeled and marked accordingly.  The next thing to consider is what colors to use. When choosing colors, you want to ensure that there is a contrast between the plate that holds the lettering and the actual letters. For example a black background with white lettering or at least a dark background with a light color for the text. Interior signs can also be as simple as vinyl placed directly onto the wall as in the picture. The vinyl was designed, cut and then placed by our sign maker, Tony Conner. This could be done in almost any color, but the black against the tan wall makes a good contrast. This vinyl is cut on our Graphtec plotter and then the scrap is removed by hand before installation.
