Get Custom Sign Designs with DEI USA, LLC!
Our team of environmental graphic designers create custom sign designs like no others.  This will include a detailed needs-analysis and wayfinding services to evaluate and establish the most effective means of informing and directing your visitors, patients, patrons and customers throughout your facility.  As a turnkey sign design company, we focus on ensuring that the custom sign design system is both cost effective to produce and easy to maintain.  We can also work with you and your marketing partners to make your branding efforts a success.
Our sign design team is prepared to assist you in numerous ways as you begin your next sign design project. If you are starting from the beginning and need a custom sign design, we are proud to offer sign design services in a way that is totally unique to your project requirements.  We perform a site and visibility analysis, determine zoning requirements, and make recommendations for overall sign design, size, typestyles and color to communicate your message effectively.  We will also specify structural supports, lighting, fastening methods and electrical requirements to ensure the long-term value of your investment.
If your sign project has already been designed, we will be diligent in review of your plans and deliver a cost proposal to complete the project as specified.  However, it is not uncommon for DEI  to work closely with architects, environmental graphic designers, marketing or branding firms and offer value-engineering to assist in achieving your project goals.  We also offer complete engineering sign design services and working drawings to help further define the intended result of your project.

Upon completion of our site assessment, we will develop a written report of fact finding results. This report will outline potential aesthetic avenues, discuss relationship of wayfinding components to overall corporate branding effort, propose sign type vocabulary and include a first draft of the “facility/campus destination” list.

Based on the fact finding documentation, we will develop an initial conceptual approach. This will include potential interior and exterior sign types and graphics (banners, pageantry, etc.). All interior sign types are designed to be modular to accommodate future changes and growth.
Exterior signs are designed with hinged faces and access panels for easy maintenance and can incorporate changeable panels.

Develop entire vocabulary of interior and exterior sign types (sign type hierarchy) using report results and presentation feedback as the guide.

Create an initial budget for each phase of the project (if needed).
