Beyond Signage: The Art and Science of Environmental Graphic Design in Commercial Developments
When you think of a signage company, you may envision logos, directional signs, or regulatory plaques. All essential, yes, but, as professionals in Environmental Graphic Design (EGD), our work encompasses so much more. We create experiences that seamlessly integrate with architecture, wayfinding, and the environment. This holistic approach can transform a space, enhancing its aesthetic appeal while also elevating the user experience – making those same users that much more likely to return in the future.
The Benefits of Integrated Branding Across Physical Spaces
Brand identity is more than just a logo and color scheme; it’s an experience that spans every touchpoint a customer encounters. As you expand your digital and physical presence, the need for consistent branding across both digital and physical environments has never been more critical. As you invest in creating cohesive brand narratives, signage plays a pivotal role in extending that identity into the built environment.

Environmental Branding Signage Best Practices
Environmental branding (commonly known as EGD) communicates the story of an environment to customers. It alerts customers to the quality of your services and the values of your employees. Use a children’s hospital as an example. For kids, visiting the doctor can be scary. However, environmental branding incorporates bright colors, clear signs, and engaging graphics to let kids know they are in a safe place.
