Have you ever found yourself lost and looking for directions on the subway, in an airport, on a university campus, or even inside a small building? When visiting your business, you want to make sure your visitors are as comfortable as possible navigating your commercial space. This can easily be accomplished by including wayfinding signs in hallways, stairways and entrances to ensure that new visitors are provided with a clear sense of direction of where they need to go.
Wayfinding signs relay directional cues to help people go from point A to point B easily. They offer important information that makes it easier for visitors, customers, and employees to navigate an unfamiliar space.
Wayfinding signage comes in a variety of types, materials, and designs, which allows you to select them based on your unique business and budget needs. Examples of these signs include dimensional letters, acrylic panels, and wall graphics.
If you’re looking to add wayfinding and directional signs to your business’s signage system, VizComm Signs & Graphics is here to help. Call us today to learn more and get a free consultation.
Types of Indoor and Outdoor Wayfinding Signage
There are several types of wayfinding signage that your business will need. Let’s explore them here:
While the main function of wayfinding signage makes it necessary for a business, it offers more than just the provision of directions. Choosing the right signs and designs ensures that customers have a seamless experience with your business.
Here are additional ways these signs benefit their business:
At VizComm Signs & Graphics, we create personalized wayfinding signs that direct your visitors and complement your other signage. We’ll expertly create interior signs that use your brand’s logo, colors, and font, and build them to suit your specifications and needs. In fact, we provide all types of signage to suit your business needs in Orange County, California.
These signs are used for pointing out a service or feature that is of use to a visitor. This type of interior wayfinding signage displays things like the names of conference rooms outside the door, the entrance to a parking garage or the loading dock of an office building.
Informational wayfinding signs are generally used as the first step in a new environment to tell a customer where they are and what they will find. These signs can contain necessary information or give facts and history. Examples of this type of sign include standing signs, plaques or descriptions.
Regulatory or warning signs let people know what they can and can’t do. Other types of regulatory signs, such as ADA/AODA signs, create a safe and accessible environment. Examples of this type of sign include wet floor signs, fire safety signs, stairwell signs and all other forms of signage that will mark a safety feature in a building are all extremely important.
Directional signs ensure that your visitors don’t lose their way when trying to navigate your space. These signs often take the form of maps of a facility and you can opt for only including main paths, to including all paths for very specific directions.
Finding the right signs for your business always starts with your business goals. How do you want your wayfinding signage to you for you? This dictates the type of sign, design, and material you choose.
For instance, are you hoping these signs will reinforce your brand identity? Designing your signs to match your brand, while complying with rules and regulations, is then essential.
Always remember that the sign and design you choose may reflect on your brand, for both interior and exterior wayfinding signage. If you’re unsure where to start, feel free to reach out to our team today and get a free consultation.

Wayfinding signs are any type of sign that gives instructions or directional cues. They serve as a guide so people can find their way around a space more easily.
These signs give point-to-point directions. They are helpful in any physical space, particularly in hospitals, schools, large office buildings, and other larger facilities.
Wayfinding signs are important since they provide key information that help create a more organized and comfortable space.
The absence of wayfinding signs can leave individuals feeling frustrated trying to find their way. With wayfinding signs, people know exactly where to go.
Examples of wayfinding signs include hanging signs, door signs, maps, and building directories.
These signs are used for identification, giving out directions, displaying information, and ensuring the safety of people within the space. Overall, they make sure that your space or building is well-organized, making each visit comfortable and efficient.
Signage is the physical tool that displays the necessary information for wayfinding. These can be acrylic signs, metal signs, hanging signs, or wall decals.
Wayfinding is the system that helps people navigate a particular space. It’s how individuals orient themselves with a space and how they can find their way around.
There are plenty of elements to consider when creating an effective wayfinding system for your space. You have to identify zones and spaces and logical pathways.
One important factor in a successful wayfinding system is signage. Wayfinding signs have to be visible from a distance, with clear information and directional cues.
Each person, whether a customer, visitor, or employee can benefit a lot from wayfinding signs. Without these signs, trying to find your way around can be an exasperating and time-consuming experience.
However, it is the first-time visitors and people who are unfamiliar with the space who will benefit the most from effective wayfinding signs.
There are different types of signs that can be used for wayfinding. It is important to choose signs that can be positioned in certain ways to increase visibility.
Here at VizComm Signs & Graphics, we recommend the use of the following signs for wayfinding: acrylic signs, dimensional signs, metal signs, door signs, wall graphics, vinyl signs, ceiling signs, floor graphics and more. Call us to discuss your particular needs.
Wayfinding signs need to follow certain design and size requirements to be effective. Only an experienced sign maker can help make sure your signs are done right.
Choose VizComm Signs & Graphics because of our experience and expertise in creating wayfinding signs. We also offer a wide range of sign options used for wayfinding.
In a public space, generally all wayfinding signs need to follow certain ADA requirements. Those requirements depend on what type of wayfinding sign it is.
For instance, wayfinding signs that identify a room or space need to follow specific designs like tactile letters and braille. However, others only need to follow basic design requirements.
The cost of wayfinding signs varies depending on several factors. The biggest factor is the type of sign you choose for wayfinding. This can also dictate the design and size of the sign you need.

I 100/10 recommend VizComm to anyone who needs signs done for their business. I own a beauty salon and I needed an exterior front signage for my store and they did an amazing job. From the customer service to quick response to quality of work, I’m impressed. I contacted a few other companies when I was shopping around and they just impressed me right away. I talk to Curt and he came out to the location to discuss my needs and specifics right away. He was very nice and explained all of my different options to me and he even showed me his portfolio to help me visualize what the different options were.

I honestly can’t say enough about this team. Curt was running point and he really was helpful. He answered all our questions and did everything with a professional grace. We could tell they take pride in their work and customer service. I would recommend to anyone. Thanks again! We appreciate you guys! We absolutely love our new sign

Needed a wrap for the company and all signs pointed to Black Parrot Sign Studio, emailed about 12 companies, they were the first to respond with the best price out of all 12. Not only that but it was a time crunch on 4th of July weekend, they were able to meet my unexpected deadline to attend a Charity event. Truck came out better than I imagined, customer service is by far the best out there, I feel bad for other wrap companies as this team has set the bar that no one will reach!
Going back for two more wraps for my own company and the family business!
Thank you!!!

Try finding a company to get back to you with artwork/placement work for a vehicle wrap. Then have them follow up with some kind of promptness. If you find it first try then you got very lucky. Save yourself some time and call this company. Â I tried 5 other companies until I hit Black Parrot. So glad I found this company, from Bill at the desk to Craig (The Wrapping King), Craig was so enthusiastic when I dropped my van off that I already knew I was in good hands and the wrap would come out great. Long story short, I got my van back and was so impressed. Â We have 3 or 4 more vans to go and I’m glad to give them my business. They do banners, signs and stickers too! Â Thanks Black Parrot!

Wow! What a pleasure working with the team at Black Parrot. Jonathan was so easy to work with and very responsive. We were looking for some ideas for behind the front desk at our gym. He took some of our ideas and helped come up with a fantastic metallic option with carved out logo. In addition we had them do a big vinyl for the opposite wall. Both came out great and at a great price. Couldn’t be happier with the outcome!!
-David G
Absolutely love this business! They do a fantastic job on all their products. They don’t rest until you are happy! I just ordered a few signs for my parking lot & they are working great! Time & cost more than reasonable. Will definitely be ordering more marketing products through them soon! Thanks Black Parrot!
-Nathan Y
I highly recommend getting your sign made here! Craig, Curt, and David all go above and beyond to make sure you will be happy with your product! I appreciate the entire team, they all do a great job communicating and making sure you’re aware of what you’re investing in. I did a bit of searching before I decided on them, but after my first phone call I knew these were the guys I wanted to work with, they were professional, friendly, and considerate of all of my concerns. The sign was done on the timeline they estimated — 10/10 would recommend and come back for other sign/graphic related needs!
-Atiya Bahmanyar
What a great company to work with! We are a local pest control company in Southern California that was in need of getting our company trucks wrapped with our company logo. We first started working with Black Parrott when they were located in Tustin. They continued to go above and beyond after every truck we brought in from our fleet and now that they merged with VizComm signs, the compliments continue! Their office isn’t much further, located in Fountain Valley. Quick turnaround with exceptional service. We’ll continue to bring our fleet of trucks for them to wrap! Our customers and us LOVE it!
-Allure Pest Management
Curt & his team are nothing but amazing, I gave him my vision and the results where even better then I expected. I am so happy to have found Curt, he is so professional, knowledgeable, and on time about everything, no delays, he did as he said & was always keeping me up to date with everything! Amazing experience 10/10 recommend.
-Nancy Muralles
Excellent service! They let me take photos as the sign was going up, so I can create a video. Very reasonably priced. I work for a mortgage lender, so having signage is very important so our clients can find us.

I engaged VizComm Signs & Graphics on new branding for our headquarters. From the earliest days, I found them responsive, solution oriented and easy to work with. We took the project through permitting, fabrication of the exterior sign and finally installation in about 6 weeks time. That kind of work on signage this big is appreciated. The outcome was fantastic! We would highly recommend them.
