Wayfinding signs for Airports and Airfields
Airport wayfinding signs by Medash
From departures to arrivals, and everything in between, there’s no getting away from the fact that airports (and airfields) can be confusing, labyrinthine places at the best of times.
This is where wayfinding signage – sometimes also known as directional signage – comes in. You want to signpost the most common (and important) locations that customers and visitors may be looking for, with enough signs that make it easy to navigate, but without overfilling the area with excess signage.
This takes a degree of skill and expertise, both of which Medash have and are happy to offer all of our customers.
What types of airport wayfinding do we offer?
Wayfinding comes in two forms – a location name and in-between location pointers. The actual form that these signs can take is endless and should match the unique needs of each airport itself. Medash creates signage on a bespoke basis, and the wayfinding options include:
-
-
- No entry/exit signs
- Car park signage
- Gate number signs
- Baggage collection signs
- Movable signage for temporary changes
- Retail and hospitality locator signs
- External and Internal large-scale signage
- And many more.

Well-designed, effective airport wayfinding signs
Navigating through airports can be a complex and overwhelming experience, but with the power of effective wayfinding signage, you can make it a seamless and stress-free journey. From finding gate locations, check-ins and baggage locations, to transportation links and toilets or retail spaces, these signs serve as beacons, guiding those unfamiliar with the airport and ensuring that all passengers move efficiently and with ease. By placing these signs strategically and with a consistent design, you can create a harmonious flow throughout the airport, preventing bottlenecks and overcrowding.
An expert sign maker will be able to advise on the best course of action for these kinds of signs, such as the designs to use and locations to place them in, as well as less obvious considerations, such as lighting options and replacement or supplementary signs that may be needed further down the line.
Long-lasting, impactful & practical airport signs
To convey its information most effectively, a sign’s design and make-up need to be perfectly matched to its purpose and location, and airport wayfinding signs are no different.
Medash Signs has decades of experience in commercial sign creation and will only ever use the finest materials, pairing the right substrate and type of sign to your location’s specifics, the branding particulars of your business and the purpose of the sign itself. We keep up to date with the latest technology and machinery in sign-making to ensure that all of our signs also retain the highest visual fidelity – high contrast, bold, bright colours, and crystal-clear text, regardless of their age.
Plus, if you need extra airport signage for anywhere across your location (replacements, updates or extra signs – both temporary and permanent), we can speedily create them for you, with every aspect of them matching whatever signage they are intended to work with, near, or what they are replacing.
