Signage for businesses, schools, churches, and other organizations is more effective when it follows a consistent plan that dictates design standards. Just as a company manages its image by carefully detailing how to represent its brand logo, a city or building developer helps maintain consistency through a master sign program or plan.
A good master sign program consultant can develop a plan that governs permit signage while allowing for flexibility and individuality in each sign’s design. Instant Signs, an expert in sign design, fabrication, installation, and maintenance, provides master sign program services, including developing or consulting on the development of master sign plans, and adhering to the plans in signage design.
Benefits of Master Sign Plans
Master sign plans are beneficial to businesses and developers because they help maintain a consistent look in an area or building complex. They provide helpful guidelines to organizations as they choose signage. Here are the main purposes of master sign programs:
Consistency and aesthetics: Master sign plans establish standards to maintain a cohesive, visually pleasing look that complements architecture, landscaping, and overall design.
Wayfinding: A plan helps ensure that businesses clearly and equitably communicate wayfinding information, such as the location of exits and restrooms, and signage for traffic circulation. It can also help businesses comply with certain Americans with Disability Act requirements for signage, such as the location of handicap-accessible areas, changing rooms, and more.
Flexibility: Master sign plans often allow some flexibility in approving signage with minor deviations from specifications, as long as it’s well-designed and fits with other signage in the area.
Efficient signage permit process: Setting the criteria for signage helps expedite the signage permit process by clearly communicating design regulations.

Master sign plans typically include the following information about individual signs:
Size, including maximum sign area, height, and dimensions for different sign types and spaces.
