Redefining Workplace Signage: Inclusive and flexible wayfinding signage in the City of London.
When Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group, Inc (MUFG), a global banking powerhouse with a strong presence in London, found themselves needing to consolidate their office space from 8 to 6 floors, they recognised the need for a tailored approach to refining their wayfinding signage.
Drawing on a recommendation from a Facilities Manager, MUFG naturally turned to MJ Signs, leveraging a longstanding, positive relationship.
The team at MJ Signs was commissioned to fine-tune the wayfinding experience within the building, making it a breeze for clients, and employees alike, to identify departments and find their way around.
The goal was not just to minimise confusion but to create a sense of belonging and ownership for the evolving teams on each floor. It was more than a sign-placing project; it was an opportunity to make MUFG's space feel calm, professional, and welcoming, even amidst changes.
During the consultancy phase of the project, the team suggested a modular signage system that would offer flexibility for future updates and changes in department names or structures.
The designers at MJ Signs then set out to optimise the wayfinding experience by making sure that department listings on each floor were not only accurate and in line with MUFG’s branding guidelines but also prominently visible. This meant that special attention was given to adhering to the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA), ensuring the right color contrast between signs and walls to benefit visually impaired visitors.
Improved the overall wayfinding experience, contributing to an all-around positive user experience
The project saw a significant improvement in wayfinding, positive feedback, and a clean, recognisable wayfinding system for the MUFG London building.
MJ Signs’ collaborative and thoughtful approach to signage design effectively addressed organisational needs and improved the overall wayfinding experience, contributing to an all-around positive user experience within the corporate environment.
