Central Design Agency

What we do

From the site walk to the installed sign

We do not produce individual signs to order. We deliver a system: circulation analysis, signage design, a graphic standards manual, shop drawings, supervised production and on-site installation.

External signage — example of delivered work

01

External signage

The first sign a visitor sees is the one from the street. We design and deliver external signage that makes a building recognisable from traffic, from the car park and from the pedestrian approach.

Internal signage — example of delivered work

02

Internal signage

Inside, a decision is made every few steps. We build a sign system that takes a visitor from the entrance to their destination without hesitation, and covers every room — from the conference hall to the plant room.

Digital signage — example of delivered work

03

Digital signage

Where content changes more often than boards can be replaced, the sign becomes a screen. We deliver passive, active and interactive communication — from digital totems to info-touch points.

Graphic standards manual — example of delivered work

04

Graphic standards manual

The document that protects the building's appearance after we leave. It prescribes how the logotype is applied to every type of sign, so that later additions look as if they were made on the same day as the first one.

Evacuation plans — example of delivered work

05

Evacuation plans

A mandatory element of every public space, and the one sign that must be understood by a person seeing it for the first time, in a situation that leaves no time to study it.

Production and installation — example of delivered work

06

Production and installation

A drawing is worth as much as the sign that comes out of it. We produce shop drawings, select fabricators by technique and material, and supervise production and installation on site.

How we work

Six steps to a system that works

01

Site walk and analysis

We walk the building along the visitor's route and record every point where a direction is chosen.

02

Signage design

Sign placement, the content of every board and the numbering logic, by storey and zone.

03

Standards manual

The rules by which every future sign is made the same way as the first.

04

Shop drawings

Dimensions, sections, materials and fixings for each sign type.

05

Supervised production

Fabricator selection by technique, sample and shade control before series.

06

Installation and handover

Installation to plan and an as-built schedule of signs by room.
