Connecting people with places
We understand that signs are not always desirable, but sometimes necessary. Their intrusion on the landscape must be minimalised, but visitors require clear instructions if they are to navigate successfully and learn more about our natural history and heritage.
Signage and wayfinding schemes should be developed to enhance the Spirit of Place and merge with the landscape to cause minimal impact on their immediate surroundings. By drawing on the character, architecture and landscaping of a site, a successful signage scheme can add value and be unobtrusive by mirroring the features that surround it.
For practical and accessible sign solutions our creative design team are on hand to develop interpretation, signage and wayfinding strategies and our installation team can see the project through to its final conclusion.
We work in metal, timber and recycled plastic and use specialist finishing and print techniques to create robust, value for money sign solutions that are built to last, whether from our standard product range or custom built for your setting.
A successful signage scheme is one that enhances the visitor experience and does not detract from or conflict with the landscape in which it is set, and this can be achieved by careful selection of materials, colour finishes, iconology and styling. Fitzpatrick Woolmer have experience in designing all varieties of signage for conservation trusts, including welcome signs, footpath signs, fingerposts and more.
