Office Signage
Professional office signage conveys corporate brand identity while serving important wayfinding and information functions. Office signs provide clear navigation, designate workspaces and departments, display safety information, and project a refined business image. From small vinyl signs to expansive multi-part systems, office signage requires careful planning aligned with interior design.
Our sign consultants work with business owners, office managers and facilities teams to conduct onsite evaluations determining signage needs. After gaining an understanding of office layouts, visitor traffic patterns and branding goals, we develop cohesive sign plans serving aesthetic and functional roles. Then we produce durable sign solutions from high-end materials like brushed aluminum and manufactured glass matching contemporary office styles.
Retail & Restaurant Signage
Distinctive signage allows retailers to influence customer experiences through visual merchandising and promotional displays. Interior retail signs also regulate patron behaviors, convey product details, direct circulation and strengthen brand recall through cohesive imagery and styling. From small vinyl instructional signs to expansive dimensional lettering and logo displays, retail signage requires versatility.
Our retail signage portfolio includes modular sign systems with interchangeable graphics allowing dynamic messaging. We also build custom branded structures and architectural fixtures tailored to storefront dimensions showcasing your unique products. For restaurants, signage plays an equally important role promoting menus and specials. Our restaurant signs range from fun chalkboard-style menus to wine, beer and spirits displays encouraging impulse sales.
Wall Signage & Murals
Blank walls transform into branded focal points with professional wall signs and murals. From corporate branding displays to decorative artwork, wall signage makes lasting impressions on audiences in lobbies, hallways, conference rooms and other open interior spaces. Wall signs establish identity, regulate behaviors, advertise services, and even conceal imperfections.
While business owners often overlook blank wall spaces, Colour Waves views this as prime real estate for communicating messages in creative ways. We offer an endless selection of materials and styles for wall signs. This spans from small engraved plaques and dimensional lettering displays to full-wall graphic films, vibrant digital prints, eye-catching wallpapers and hand-painted murals showcasing your brand.
Entryway Signage
Entryway or lobby signage creates positive first impressions through visual identity and branding components. This signage greets customers and guests to provide an elegant introduction to your company. Entryway signs also establish professionalism with permanent brand messaging in durable materials like brushed metals or backlit glass.
Wayfinding Signage
Wayfinding signage provides interior directionals and mapping to properly guide foot traffic to destinations. These essential signs prevent disorientation in multi-level buildings and complex layouts through visual references. Our consultants can perform a wayfinding analysis of floorplans and traffic patterns before designing full signage systems. This includes floor directories, evacuation maps, room numbers, restroom identifiers and informational kiosks for intuitive navigation.
ADA-Compliant Signage
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) establishes important regulations for interior signage accommodating those with visual, physical or hearing impairments. Compliant signs must incorporate tactile characters, braille, accessible positioning and contrasting colors meeting established criteria. Our consultants stay up-to-date with continually advancing ADA codes to ensure all interior sign plans meet compliance.

Along with fabricating standard interior signage, we welcome unique concepts pushing creative boundaries indoor. Our experienced sign builders approach challenging projects as opportunities to build unforgettable branded environments through one-of-a-kind designs.
