Palomar College’s main campus is located at 1140 West Mission Road in San Marcos. Students appreciate the wide variety of academic courses the school offers them. Recently, the school’s administration contacted our sign shop to discuss the design, production, and installation of post and panel directory signs for colleges in San Diego County, CA.
Matching Existing Signage Creates a Cohesive Presentation across Multiple Locations
When a client operates multiple locations, it is critical to match signage. Not only does it provide accurate brand displays, but it also creates a cohesive brand presence. Post and panel signs are ideal for schools, affordable to order, and suitable for full customization. Clients order the signs to guide customers through a sizeable mall-type parking lot, direct students at colleges, or help professionals find their way around a business park.
Helping Students Navigate Campuses
We started with a site survey on the main campus for this project to receive the specs for the existing signs. These consisted of the message presentation, color palette, and overall tone. Next, we fabricated the signs with the messages that the client requested. For example, one of the signs is for parking lot installation. It provides general directions.
The next one is for a specific lot. This sign outlines permit requirements and other details drivers need to know before parking there. We produced nine signs and installed them as directed by the client. They are now functioning as wayfinding markers for visitors, faculty members, and students.
When Should You Order New Signs?
Palomar College’s administration ordered new signs because the school discovered added needs for wayfinding assistance. Because the client knew that our technicians could expertly match the existing signs’ overall brand presentation, they did not have to worry about these signs standing out in the wrong way.
What are some other reasons for buying new signs?
- Sign damage. If a sign gets damaged, it makes sense to replace it. Broken signage does not reflect well on your brand. For the company that does business in an area where there is frequent vandalism, we recommend the addition of an anti-graffiti laminate.
- Outdated information. Do not keep a sign that does not feature the correct information. How often have you seen signs that directed you somewhere, only to have you find out later that the message was outdated and now added more time to your trip?
- Unsuitable size. When you first bought the sign, it fit perfectly. However, things have changed. Trees were removed, which now opened the line of sight from the street. Similarly, you might have changed how customers approach your location and need to reconfigure the signage that addresses them.
