At North Cost Signs, we work with local banks with sign refreshes, additions, ADA signs and rebranding. Let’s look at some signs every bank should have.
Pylon Signs
Pylon signs stand tall among bank sign options, offering unequaled visibility from a distance. These tall freestanding signs are made to be seen from down the road or off the highway. They are also ideal for banks that as set back a bit from the road or are in large plazas. Constructed with durability in mind, they withstand the elements. Pylon signs commonly have the name of the bank, including the bank’s logo and colors. Depending on the size and style, you can also add info about special interest rates and offers for new checking accounts on an LED screen.
Wayfinding Signs
Navigation within and around a bank should be easy. Wayfinding signs play a crucial role in guiding customers to various sections of the bank, such as ATMs, customer service desks, loan officers, or other specific areas. They should also have colors matching the rest of the bank. This helps the wayfinding signs to be clear, and consistent with the bank’s current branding. One more consideration is ADA requirements. Signs should be mounted at the correct height, have easy-to-read text of the appropriate size, and include braille, programs, and other accessibility features.
Lobby Signs
The lobby is the first place customers will see when they enter your bank. While many people only pass through the lobby on their way to the teller or customer service agents, lobby signs can still make an impact by providing info on the bank, including hours of operation, days the bank is closed, and other important information. They can be made to match the bank by adding the name, logo, and colors. Lobby signs can also be decorative to create a welcoming environment. landmarks.
LED Signs
LED signs offer convenient ways for banks to communicate with their customers. They are great for displaying current mortgage rates, interest rates for savings accounts and CDs, as well as current offers for opening new accounts. Aside from LED displays, many traditional signs like lightboxes and channel letters can also utilize LED bulbs to make them more energy efficient and give them a long life span.
ATM Signs
ATMs are an important location in any bank, and directional signs can help guide customers to their location within the bank and outside the bank. The signs should make the ATM highly visible by keeping with the bank’s color and branding. Illuminated signs or under-canopy lighting can enhance visibility and ensure security during the night.
