Signage and exhibition design, Edinburgh

Our signage and exhibition design covers everything from a single roller banner to a full marketing suite, all designed and produced in-house at our Edinburgh studio.

Our signage and exhibition design services

Site boards and hoardings are often the first thing an occupier or buyer sees. We design them to carry the development brand clearly at a distance, with the essentials up front: what’s coming, when, and who to contact.

From hoarding to handover

Signage has a different job at each stage of a development, from announcing the scheme during construction to helping people find their way once it is occupied.

Hoarding design
A construction hoarding is the largest piece of marketing a development will ever have, and it is seen every day by people who live and work nearby. We design hoardings that introduce the brand, show CGIs of the finished scheme and give a simple message about what is coming and when. Good hoarding design also helps the developer’s relationship with neighbours, so we often include local history, community messages or artwork alongside the marketing.

Designing a marketing suite
A marketing suite is where viewings turn into decisions. We design the graphics that make the space work: large-format images and CGIs, location maps, availability boards, specification panels and display stands for brochures and samples. Everything follows the development brand, so the suite feels like part of the same campaign as the brochure and website.

Wayfinding and building signage
Once a building is complete, signage has a different job: helping people find their way. We design reception signage, directories, floor and room signs and external totems that are clear, consistent and in keeping with the architecture.

Events and exhibitions
Beyond property, we produce displays, banners and graphics for conferences, trade shows and events, all designed to work with your existing brand. For exhibition stands we think about how the stand reads from across a busy hall, what visitors need to pick up, and how the graphics will be transported and reused at the next event.

Planning permission for site signage

Larger site boards, hoardings and illuminated signs can need advertisement consent from the local planning authority, and listed buildings and conservation areas, which cover much of central Edinburgh, bring extra rules. It is worth checking early, because consent can affect the size, position and timing of your signage.

The City of Edinburgh Council publishes a quick guide to advertisement consent, and we can prepare the drawings and visuals that an application needs.

Produced in-house

Our own print studio means design and production sit side by side. We check colour and materials ourselves and keep control of the schedule, rather than waiting on an outside supplier.
