AMOA, the assistance to carry out a design, creative signage program in perfect technical and economic mastery.

A signage project management assistance (Signage Project Management Assistance) is a service that consists of supporting project owners in the definition, design, implementation and implementation of their interior, exterior, vertical and/or horizontal signage project.

Signage is the set of visual and/or tactile devices that make it possible to orient, inform and identify private or public places, spaces, buildings, products or services. Signage takes different forms: signs, frescoes, window stickers, plaques, signs, road markings, directional wall art, electronic displays, interactive terminals, etc.

The signage project manager is involved in different stages of the signage project, from the definition of needs to the commissioning of the signage devices. She brings her expertise on the regulatory, aesthetic and even artistic, functional, ergonomic and technical aspects of signage. It assists the project owner in the selection of suppliers, the management of the budget, the monitoring of the implementation and the coordination of the various stakeholders.

Our design office specialises in the design, planning and implementation of signalling systems. He is responsible for creating visual, creative, auditory or tactile signage solutions for different environments such as buildings, public spaces, transportation, etc.

The main activities of our design office in signage include:

1. Needs analysis: The design office collaborates with customers to understand their needs in terms of signage, whether for orientation, information, security, etc.
2. Design and planning: On the basis of the needs identified, the design office develops appropriate signage concepts, taking into account technical, aesthetic and regulatory constraints. They create plans and mock-ups to visualize proposals.
3. Feasibility study: Before moving on to the implementation phase, the design office carries out feasibility studies to assess the viability of the projects, taking into account the technical, budgetary and logistical aspects.
4. Selection of materials and technologies: The design offices choose the most appropriate materials and technologies for each signage project, taking into account criteria such as durability, visibility, accessibility, etc.
5. Coordination of delivery: Once the plans are finalized, the design office works in collaboration with manufacturers, installers and other stakeholders to ensure the successful execution of the project. They can supervise the installation on-site to ensure compliance with specifications.
6. Maintenance and follow-up: We can also offer maintenance services to ensure the long-term operation of the signage systems.

In summary, our signage design office through the project management assistance is responsible for the design, planning and implementation of signage solutions adapted to the specific needs of customers, using appropriate materials and technologies. They play a key role in creating visually appealing, informative, and functional environments.

Indoor signage procedures as well as the rules and standards in force in 2023 may vary depending on the country (France, Switzerland or Luxembourg) and the region.

However, here are some general points to consider during an AMO:

• Compliance with local regulations: Check the regulations and standards specific to your country and region with regard to indoor signage. These regulations may concern the size of the signs, the symbols used, the height and position of the signage, colour contrasts, fire-resistant materials, etc.
• Accessibility: Ensure that your indoor signage complies with accessibility standards for people with reduced mobility and people with disabilities. This may include the use of easily legible symbols and fonts, appropriate colour contrasts, tactile signs in Braille, accessible route directions, etc.
• Consistency and readability: Ensure that your interior signage is consistent and easy to read. Use clear and legible fonts, choose appropriate text sizes based on viewing distance, use universally recognized symbols, and avoid excessive or confusing information.

• Safety: Interior signage should also contribute to the safety of people. Ensure that emergency exit indications, safety warnings and relevant information are clearly visible and understandable. To be respected: specific safety signage regulations, such as exit signs, risk warnings, evacuation instructions, etc.
• Contrast and visibility: Make sure your indoor signage has good color contrast for optimal visibility. Use color combinations that make it easier to read and identify information. Avoid colors that are too similar or low contrasts that could make the signage difficult to see.

It is essential to review the regulations and standards specific to your country or region, as they may change and differ from place to place. Be sure to refer to the relevant regulatory authorities or assign us a mission to help you comply with the requirements in force and ensure the compliance of your indoor and outdoor signage.

Our project management assistance integrates all ecological, sociological and economic approaches to the signage package.

An example: What can be understood by ethical and/or ecological signage?

Eco-friendly signage is an approach to signage that aims to reduce its environmental impact and promote more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. This approach can take several forms, such as:

• The use of eco-friendly materials, such as wood from sustainably managed forests, eco-friendly paints, water-based inks, etc.
• Reducing energy consumption, for example by using solar panels to power electronic signage devices
• The design of modular and scalable signage devices, which allow obsolete or defective elements to be easily replaced or updated, without having to replace the entire device
• The use of universal pictograms and symbols, which reduce the amount of text and information needed on road signs, which reduces paper and ink consumption.
• Recycling and even upcycling are at the heart of our concerns.

Eco-friendly signage is becoming increasingly popular in construction and development projects, as it makes it possible to reconcile the functional and aesthetic requirements of signage with environmental and sustainable development concerns.
