Identification

Primary & Ancillary Identities

Retail and corporate services are taking much more of a holistic approach to branding than used to be the case. Things have changed considerably and we no longer rely on a clever branded logo lock up to place on stationary and poorly illuminated capsule signs.

Restated, it has become rather important that retailers and employers create a place people want to, and don’t just need to, spend time at. The brands and employers who succeed in this make sure their patrons and users are surrounded by an experience throughout their visit.

Working with some of the best in merchandising and store experience designers, Experiential Systems helps craft visual communications and interactive spaces that patrons identify with.

Freestanding sign: A sign that is not attached to a building. Monument Sign: A ground sign with low overall height. Legibility: How easy a sign is to read. This is based on the characteristics of letters, numbers, and characters that make it possible to differentiate one from another. Open Channel Letter: A letter that has no face, though a clear face may be used to protect internal components. If illuminated, the light source is visible. Pole or Pylon Cover: An enclosure for concealing and/or decorating poles or other structural supports of a ground sign. Projecting Sign: A building-mounted sign that projects from and is perpendicular to the building’s fascia. Push-Through: A letter or logo that is cut out of a backing material as thick or thicker than the sign face. The material is then mounted on the inside of the sign face so that it is flush with or extends through and beyond the front of the sign face. Readability: All of the characteristics of the letters, numbers, and symbols that allow the observer to perceive the right message. Retroreflective: The quality of a surface that reflects light directly back toward its original source.

Identity design is the process of creating a visual language to represent a brand, product, or service. It is a form of visual communication that has been used for centuries. From ancient hieroglyphs and symbols to modern logos, brands, and signage, identity design has been a way to communicate ideas and messages to a wide audience.

Today, identity design is more important than ever. It is no longer enough to simply create a clever logo and place it on stationary and signage. Instead, retailers and corporate services must create an immersive experience for their patrons and users that goes beyond a logo alone.
