Office Signage – Beyond Pointing Folks to the Correct Bathroom.

An office has many instances where signage is necessary to facilitate function and flow.  Obvious things like restrooms and exits need to be clearly identified.  In large office buildings, with multiple tenants, it’s critical to properly guide guests to the correct office space.  However, have you considered how signage can add to your office culture?

The style and colors of office signs such as name plaques on an office cube will add an element to both your brand and also your office culture.  There is a clear difference between what an accounting office may choose as a name plaque versus an advertising agency.  Name plaques, in fact, have a big job to do.  Some of the functions names plaques could have in your office include:

1.      They need to clearly identify the person in the office space.  This helps to add a new person to the team spirit of the organization by allowing others to quickly learn their name. 

2.      Name plaques could also carry an element of recognition.  Try adding years of service as a way to recognize dedication to the company.

3.      Message boards are also helpful for team building and associating them with a person is a good way for others to know what meetings they may be attending for the day, or when that person might be back at their desk.

4.      Name plaques don’t have to been plain anymore.  Add your own company culture to them.  Different styles and colors are all options for you.
