Interpretive Signs - What are they and how do I get one?

Posted by Signs & More on Mon, Aug 28, 2017 @ 10:40 AM

So you have a location that needs a sign to tell visitors a story - historical information, educational lessons, company goals, etc.  What do you call these signs?  How do you arrange to get info about them?

They are called Interpretive Signs or Educational Signs. These signs convey a narrative that acts to tell users about a particular thing or place that they may not already know and generate a positive user experiences through this deeper knowledge.  They are often found in parks, museums, and historical sites.
 
Interpretive signs are silent storytellers that help us better understand and enjoy the natural world, our history and our cultural heritage.  They are not just markers, but keys that unlock hidden narratives in our surroundings.  They provide context and educate us about such diverse topics as flora and fauna, artifacts and former civilizations found at historical or cultural sites, past events, ecosystems and human/animal activities.  Other uses include explanations of scientific concepts, maps and directions, company policy statements/examples, teaching classroom lessons to students and illustrating manufacturing processes.
 
These Interpretive Signs are very adaptable.  They can convey information in various languages, making sites accessible to a global audience.  They can be designed to accommodate different learning styles to help everyone, regardless of age or background.
 
For signs facing the sun or direct weather, embedded fiberglass panels are used which are virtually maintenance free, giving you sustainability and cost-effectiveness over time.
