The wayfinding family

Four kinds of sign, one system.

Every scheme resolves into a coherent family: signs that direct, signs that identify, signs that inform, and branded markers — each drawn to the same standard and installed across Egypt and the GCC.

The four families.

Restroom directional sign, installed interior

Directional signage

Signs that move people. Directional signage carries the decision at every junction — which way, how far, and what is down each route — so a visitor never has to stop and work it out.

8 examples

Building identification sign on concrete canopy

Identification signage

Signs that answer “is this it?”. Identification marks the arrival — building, block, unit or plot — at the scale and material the architecture asks for.

6 examples

Illuminated blade sign, NS

Branded markers

Signs that carry the name. Illuminated blades and showroom markers where the sign is doing identity work as well as wayfinding work.
