Build a readable family of signs
Choose a hierarchy for building, floor, department and room information. Repeating type, colors and mounting details can make different sign formats feel connected without making every message equally prominent. Distinguish brand expression from navigation so decorative graphics do not compete with essential directions.
Plan around the room
Photograph walls in ordinary lighting and note paint, texture, glass and existing fixings. A reception wall may suit dimensional letters, while changeable tenant information may need a panel system. Review landlord requirements and any accessibility-related design criteria with the responsible project team before selecting production details.

A few useful answers.
Should every room use the same sign?+
Use a shared visual system, but let each sign’s purpose determine its size, content and any required tactile features.
Can existing signs be incorporated?+
Photos and a location list help identify what can remain and where replacement or additional signs would improve consistency.
