Indoor signs
10/16/2025
When most people think of wayfinding, they picture bright new signs going up to help guide visitors through a building. But there’s an important step that often gets overlooked: removing the old graphics.
Take this example --
We recently cleared out a door sign as part of a wayfinding refresh. At first glance, it might not seem like much — just a blank space where information used to be. But here’s why removal is so important:
Outdated or incorrect signage can send people in the wrong direction. Removing graphics before installing new ones ensures visitors only see the right information.
Like a painter needs a clean canvas, sign professionals need a clear surface for new graphics. Starting fresh ensures your new signage looks sharp and professional.
A patchwork of old and new signs can make a space feel disorganized. A full update — starting with removal — keeps everything consistent with your brand.
Wayfinding is more than just putting signs on walls. It’s about creating a seamless experience so that anyone walking through your space feels confident, welcomed, and informed.
So, the next time you see us with a scraper in hand, you’ll know: clearing the slate is step one in designing a better journey.
