Pedestrian Wayfinding Signage and Signs

The four commonly used types are directional signage, identification signage, informational signage, and regulatory or warning signage. Directional signs guide people toward destinations, identification signs confirm where they are, informational signs explain places or services, and regulatory or warning signs communicate rules or hazards. A coordinated pedestrian wayfinding system may use several types together for consistent navigation.

Effective wayfinder signage should communicate destinations clearly, use consistent terminology and visual design, remain legible from an appropriate viewing distance, and be positioned where decisions occur. The system should account for pedestrian routes, accessible navigation, site conditions, lighting, and the environment where signs will be installed. Corporate Image can help coordinate custom design, production, and installation for the application.

Signage is the broader category covering signs used for identification, information, branding, directions, regulations, and visibility. Wayfinding is the organized system that helps people understand a place and navigate between destinations. In practice, pedestrian wayfinding uses multiple signs, maps, labels, and directional messages together so visitors can make confident route decisions.

Corporate Image produces custom directional signs, area maps, identification signs, branded graphics, and related signage for varied environments. The service catalog also describes durable directional signs, run signs and boards, and wayfinding systems for ski resorts. The appropriate sign mix can be developed around the site, visitor routes, destinations, and visual requirements of the project.

Pedestrian wayfinding signage can support ski resorts, commercial properties, public facilities, industrial environments, municipal locations, campuses, and other settings where visitors need clear navigation. Corporate Image serves the Salt Lake City/county metropolitan area, the State of Utah, the Intermountain region, Utah ski resorts, and Intermountain ski areas.
