WE MAKE WAYFINDING AND DIRECTIONAL SIGNS

Wayfinding Signage is there to help people move around buildings. If it’s not, you need Voodoo DesignWorks’ help.

What does Voodoo know about wayfinding? Lots. It’s in the family. We invented, manufactured and successfully sold the world’s first system-based wayfinding signage system and we’ve been innovating ever since. Today, we design and install wayfinding signage that fits with every mission – including the need to keep people distanced.

Voodoo DesignWorks wayfinding is technically elegant. From a minimal and easily maintained component count we can produce programmes that keep the most complex facilities and buildings moving freely. When things change, our signs can too and our rigorous controls keep everything harmonised.

You’ll want to know prices. We’re delighted to discuss them. That’s because Voodoo DesignWorks delivers value in addition to functionality.

A: Wayfinding and directional signs are quite simply signs that work individually, or as part of a larger and coordinated programme of signs, to direct and inform pedestrians and other traffic so that destinations are easily found. Such signs rely on legibility and very careful planning and installation.

Because roles change, premises develop and people move from place to place, wayfinding and directional signage has be be adaptable and relatively easy to update when needed. Wayfinding signage, sometimes called ‘directory systems’ are typically modular in construction, comprising components that fit together to form the finished article.

Wayfinding signs can also feature printed matter, such an information loaded murals fitted to walls, or electronic screens with the required signage elements displayed and controlled by a central resource. Wayfinding signage is above all minimally ornamental and so very legible.

A: Wayfinding and directional signs are based on modular components and these are available as ’systems’ or they can be designed and constructed on a bespoke or custom basis. These components then are bolted or otherwise attached to other components of the same system to form finished signs.

Sign components may be made from materials that are coloured in the mass, or they can be stove enamelled in RAL colours, painted to match Pantone colours or otherwise decorated. Very stable colourants are used by Voodoo DesignWorks so that matching at a later date is easy and more reliable. Graphics or lettering used in wayfinding sight is typically printed or made from self-coloured materials.

Wayfinding signage is fixed to the mounting surface using simple fixings which are then hidden from view by the signs’ other components. With invisible fixings in place, the sign can then have its message installed and it’s easy to update and replace without the need to remove the whole sign structure.

A: Anywhere there are people or traffic to direct, indoors or out. In interior programmes, signs directing people and offering information and other helpful content may be wall-mounted, hung from ceilings or projecting from surfaces. Doors make a good mounting system too and are often endpoint destinations. For this reason office door signs often have tidal sliders to announce who’s in.

Wayfinding and directional signage can also be used in exterior situations. The exterior wayfinding signage is often designed and constructed to reflect the identify established by interior wayfinding and directional systems. Exterior wayfinding signs often feature post-panel construction and planks that can be easily changed when needed.

In large venues like shopping centre car parks, wayfinding signs may be large and comprise printed graphics used on walls. Ceiling mounted signs are used and the programme may be colour-coded to aid the user. Wayfinding signs can be used to direct foot and motor traffic in such situation and it does not usually require frequent updating.
