Implementing a comprehensive fire signage system not only ensures compliance with regulations but also enhances the overall safety of your premises. Regular inspections, updates, and maintenance are crucial to keeping fire signage effective and visible.

CamLIFE Buildings case study.

At CamLIFE, every entrance has its own glass totem carrying the building number at large scale in the campus teal. Above the doors, built-up aluminium letters in a soft mint green are lit from within and kept deliberately low, set exactly flush with the front of each new entrance vestibule. The buildings were signed before any tenants had moved in, so the vinyl on the vestibule glass was designed as a first phase, ready to change once occupiers arrive.

Inside, the corridors and doors are lined in pale plywood, which is a lovely finish but leaves nowhere to hide a screw. Every facility pictogram is laser cut from aluminium, powder coated bronze and fixed with nothing showing. The floor numerals are 3D printed and sprayed bronze, so f.r.a.’s sculptural forms could be made precisely and repeated across the buildings. On the stairs, lettering set into the risers says “Every step counts”.

“Inside, the plywood is the star, so our job was to add as little to it as possible.”

School signage plays a bigger role that directing students and staff - it's important in helping to create a positive atmosphere and a great learning space.

We work with schools across the UK to design signage systems that are clear, adaptable, and built to last. Whether it's helping young learners find their classroom or supporting wayfinding across a multi-site academy trust, our patented Jigsaw, Puzzle, Folio and Talky systems deliver on both function and great design.

We’ve worked with schools across the UK, creating modular signage systems that reflects their unique identity. From tamper-proof panels to accessible wayfinding, we create solutions that support education environments.

xsign worked with Vita Group and main contractor, Renaker, to manufacture and install the external and internal signage package for the vibrant new House of Social development at First Street, Manchester. The scheme is a landmark student living and social destination, bringing together shared dining, leisure, and residential amenities in a strikingly designed environment.

The external scheme features face-illuminated built-up aluminium letters with white opal acrylic lenses, and double sided illuminating projecting signs. Internally, we’ve supplied a broad range of illuminated signage including lettering and lightboxes, digitally printed high tack vinyls and bespoke illuminated house number signs.

Working with the project team, we delivered a cohesive signage solution that blends functionality and bold visual identity, ensuring residents and visitors can navigate effortlessly while the design reflects the creative energy of the space.

When someone walks into your building, the first thing they are confronted with is your reception area. It’s the first point of contact to the space that sets the tone for everything that follows. That’s why reception signage is a really important part of how your brand is portrayed.

Creating visually striking and effective signage that communicates your brand and makes people feel welcome from the moment they step inside your building helps to create a positive first impression.

Why Are Reception Signs Important?

Reception signs serve as a visual handshake – a first point of contact that introduces your company. Whether you’re a corporate office, a school, a hospital, or a hotel, the reception area is your front line. It should reflect the professionalism, creativity, and personality of your brand.

CASE STUDY. Four buildings on one campus, and each of them needs to be recognisable from across the car park. Delivered for Longfellow Real Estate Partners to a design by f.r.a.

Signage is evolving, and digital signage is playing a key role. From interactive displays to real-time content updates, digital signage is changing how businesses communicate with customers.

What is Digital Signage? Digital signage uses electronic displays like LCD, OLED, and QLED screens to broadcast dynamic content including text, video, images, animations, and more. It can be connected to cloud-based content management systems, allowing businesses to control multiple displays in different locations, in real-time.

Benefits of Digital Signage:

- Higher Engagement: Digital signs are more engaging and memorable than static signage, which leads to better recall rates and higher sales.
Sustainability: Replacing paper signage with digital displays reduces waste and is a more eco-friendly option.
- Customisation: Digital signage can be interactive, offering touch screens, cameras, and motion sensors for personalised customer experiences.
- Industries Leveraging Digital Signage: From retail and education to healthcare and hospitality, digital signage is enhancing customer experiences by delivering engaging content, providing wayfinding assistance, and improving accessibility.

Is Digital Signage Better Than Static Signage?
Both digital and static signage have their place. While digital signage is excellent for high-visibility advertising, static signs provide wayfinding in critical environments such as hospitals. The key is knowing when to use which type .

Challenges of Digital Signage: Although digital signage offers numerous benefits, it does come with challenges such as installation costs, technical issues, and cybersecurity concerns. However, with careful planning and professional expertise, most challenges can be mitigated.

We'd be more than happy to discuss how digital signage can be a key part of a wayfinding strategy for your organisation.

xsign designed a bespoke signage package at the Ray Dolby Centre at The University of Cambridge. The building is the new home of the Cavendish Laboratory, a state-of-the-art research laboratory, bringing together academics from across physics disciplines.

Internally, the standout feature signage is the installation of a bespoke scheme on entrance to the building – a nod to Ray Dolby’s legacy. We manufactured 2700+ components for the installation, including 10mm thick brushed copper discs and 3mm thick stainless steel bars.

Our installation team installed the entire arrangement by hand, following the design plan. We have also supplied a bespoke Folio paper insert system, a broad range of 3mm and 6mm thick iconography and vinyl graphics.

Externally, we have manufactured halo illuminated opal acrylic built up letters with a stand off fixing and aluminium spacers.

xsign delivered a signage and wayfinding project at West Hub, a Cambridge University space used for learning and collaboration. The £40m building is labelled as a “destination quarter” where research, enterprise and socialising can take place. The building is open to all departments of the University as well as members of the public, creating a co-working space for academics and the wider community.

The most striking external signage is at the entrance to the building where we have manufactured and installed illuminated opal acrylic letters, welded to a mild steel framework, which is securely attached to a concrete pad base. The West Hub letters provide a strong and striking statement on arrival to the building.
