Architectural Signage FAQs

Architectural signage includes custom signs or a signage system to help to provide brand identification and wayfinding within a specific building, facility or campus. We fabricate and install architectural signage that integrates brand identity, environmental decor and wayfinding. Produced with a high attention to detail, architectural signage is part of the built environment that brings a building to life.

Working with architects, designers and branding agencies, we provide the most appropriate materials and installation methods based on design and budget. Materials for architectural signage can include acrylic, metal, stone, magnetics, glass, digital signage, exotic wood, architectural films and finishes, whiteboards and more.

FASTSIGNS provides architectural signage for the built environment including oversized graphics, textured wall coverings, dimensional letters, channel letters, ADA safety signs, digital signage, glassboards, dry erase boards, magnetic receptive graphics, interactive digital wayfinding, modular wayfinding and more. We help you bring your design to life using functional, flexible materials that integrate into the environment.

A font or typeface refers to the letters or characters that comprise the copy on the sign. It’s important to choose a font that draws attention to the architectural signage and blends with and complements your environment to raise the visibility of your message. Fonts are categorized by Serif, San Serif and Specialty. Keep in mind that when choosing a font for outdoor signs, the font size should be large enough to view at the optimal distance. The font should be highly visible, reflect the desired design intent, and connect with your environment.

FASTSIGNS uses sign materials for short-term applications and also materials for long-term architectural signage. The expected lifespan of an architectural sign varies based on whether it’s indoor or outdoor and based on the materials used. We can meet you your project’s requirements for durability, sustainability or flexibility.
