Whether you are opening a brand-new business or already have a well-established business up and running, one of the most important things you can do is to ensure your business has ADA compliant signs.
All businesses and organizations are subject to the rules outlined in the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Besides legal reasoning, it’s important to make sure your business and its products and services are accessible to all of your customers. This includes customers with disabilities.
While there are various requirements, businesses are still able to produce personalized signage that includes their logo and brand colors in order to stand out and represent their business and brand identity. At VizComm Signs & Graphics, we provide custom ADA compliant signs that are produced specially for your company based on your design ideas and choices and aligning with your brand.
ADA signs include features such as braille, tactile lettering, high contrast for visibility, and more help ensure your workspace is inclusive and easy for people of all abilities to navigate.
Here are few examples of ADA signage types and how to best use them in your business:
ADA braille signs should be mounted on walls, not doors and other locations that are safe for vision impaired individuals to access them while remaining safe. These signs need to be produced in order to meet compliance and incorporate Grade II Braille. Accessible signs are readily available in many shapes and materials, depending on your specific need and application.
Directional ADA signs are necessary to keep traffic flowing by providing easy to read and understand language and graphics. ADA wayfinding signs are perfect if you need directional signage in public locations such as airports, schools, hospitals, sports arenas and parking facilities.
ADA parking signs are the perfect way to designate your parking lots or streets. These signs guarantee residents, employees and visitors are clearly informed of parking restrictions and requirements. Custom signs contain a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes, all of which follow ADA regulations. These signs should be displayed for easy viewing and designate the proper parking location.
One of the biggest reasons to have ADA signs is so that your business remains compliant with the law. Without these signs, you run the risk of having issues with permits and penalties in Orange County, CA. However, these signs do more than just keep your business compliant.
Custom ADA-compliant signage gives you a unique opportunity to boost your brand. Customers are bound to look for these signs for assistance. Designing them to reflect your brand lets you build brand familiarity and recognition.
Having ADA signs makes your business easier to navigate for people with disabilities. ADA restroom signs, for instance, allow them to easily find restrooms around your establishment.
These signs also help create a positive customer experience by making business spaces more accessible. Customers that end up having a pleasant experience with your business are more likely to become loyal patrons.
Aside from accessibility, ADA office signs help make each visit more efficient for people with disabilities. Having access to information makes it more convenient to go around without asking for assistance. These signs make it easier to find key areas, including:
ADA signs aren’t just for compliance. These signs play a key role in creating a more accessible business space in Orange County, CA. For this reason, it’s important to know the different guidelines that need to be followed when creating these signs. Here are some of them:

An additional detail to ADA-compliant restroom signs is the inclusion of universal pictograms and accessibility symbols. This is crucial so people know exactly where to go when using restrooms.

ADA signs are signs that are mandated by the Federal Government and stands for the Americans With Disabilities Act or “ADA”. These signs should be conveniently located and easy to read both visually and through physical touch.
For an ADA sign to be compliant it should have, no glare, high contrast between characters and their background, high legibility, appropriate size of letters, appropriate placement of signs.
According to ADA Standards for Accessible Designs (1994), signs with Braille and raised characters are required for signs designating permanent rooms and spaces.
Your sign font should not be in italics or any form of script. It shouldn’t be oblique, highly decorative, or in any other unusual form. The idea is for it to be as easy to read as possible. All ADA font should be sans serif. Additionally, sizing, stroke and colors are requirements as well.
Grade 2 Braille is required for text on tactile signs. Braille should be in lowercase with exceptions being proper names, letters as part of a room number, acronyms, the first word of sentences, or initials. Check your state laws for specific requirements.
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. 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. 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! 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!

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!

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!

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.
