WAYFINDING SOLUTIONS
Helping the user find their way
Providing a clear direction
CIS has become a creative leader in the Wayfinding Signage Industry across North America, offering high quality information and directional signs and designs for any building or area.
Our design and wayfinding solutions transform your space into a visual masterpiece, which merges information and creativity to help people find their way through complex environments.
We specialize in transforming your space into one that’s approachable and meaningful throughout. Our focus is on creating environments that don’t just identify but directly embody the culture of your building or oganization through design, color, location and mapping. We welcome the challenge each location brings and the opportunity to work with each group to create a perfectly balanced solution throughout the exterior and interior of your building.
Everything in it’s place with location planning
In our design phase, we meticulously analyze floorplans to determine precise sign placements and suitable sign types for your project. Our team is committed to creating accessible signs by adhering to guidelines set out by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring ADA-compliant signs that enhance accessibility within buildings and commercial spaces.
As a final step before production starts, our group assembles a meticulous set of proofs. It shows every sign with the actual copy laid out, including pictograms, evacuation maps, graphics and more, making approvals and follow-through easy.
Exterior solutions
As a wayfinding sign consultant group, we tailor our approach to each client’s demographic, brand awareness, informational objectives, and guest safety, considering all options to create a distinctive experience for every group.
Our packages cater to diverse circumstances, sign quantities, and information requirements. The primary focus of our Sign Consulting Group revolves around wayfinding packages, trail wayfinding, retail design, and guest experiences, each presenting unique challenges and visions that our team thrives on. Leveraging our creative marketing acumen, we collaborate with each client to develop a package that not only aligns with budget constraints but also leaves a lasting and memorable impression.
In crafting a visually effective wayfinding system, our process begins with thorough research, placing paramount importance on understanding all available information. Our approach delves beyond aesthetic considerations to focus on the most effective ways to guide individuals throughout each building or space. By combining meticulous research with a commitment to functionality, we ensure that our wayfinding systems not only look visually appealing but also serve as highly efficient navigational tools for seamless user experiences.
