Qingdao unit signage production guide, from design to implementation, avoid those pitfalls

Making office signage in Qingdao is a big deal, but a small thing. When you walk in the office buildings on Hong Kong Middle Road, Laoshan Business District or West Coast New District, what is the first thing that catches your eye? Most of them are large or small, bright or elegant signs on the wall. They are like the "face" of the unit, telling others quietly: What do we do, what temperament do we have, but many of our friends have stumbled upon this "face" project - either the design is rustic, or the execution is very different from what was imagined, or, within two months of installation, it fades and rusts when the sea breeze blows, making people scratch their heads.

Today we are going to get some useful information and talk about what we need to pay attention to if we want to make our company signage decent and durable in Qingdao. This is not as simple as just sitting in front of the computer and drawing pictures. We have to combine the sky here, the land here, and those "pits" that are easy to step on.

The design must be "down to earth" and not just about good-looking pictures. Qingdao is a tasteful city, with red tiles, green trees, blue sea and sky as the background, and modern fashion, openness and vitality as the core. Your signage design should best match this temperament. It is a cultural institution rooted in the old city. The signage design incorporates some simple lines of waves, sailboats, and the outline of the Badaguan building. The taste will be right at once. If you want to make it glittering If you are flashing the local tyrant style, you will really become "out of place". Don't be too willful in the font. When viewing it on the expressway or on a high building, clarity and ease of recognition are the first priority. I have seen a creative studio that designed the sign fonts to be extremely artistic. It is impossible to guess what the words are from a distance. This is putting the cart before the horse. Signs are functional first, and artistic second.

When choosing materials, you have to take "sea breeze" seriously. This is the most critical step in making signs in Qingdao. The air in Qingdao is highly humid, and the sea breeze carries salt, which is much more corrosive than in inland cities. If you are cheap and use ordinary painted iron plates or low-quality stainless steel, believe me, it will not last for a year and a half. It is guaranteed to be rusty, or the paint will blister and peel off, making it look particularly dilapidated. Outdoor signs, especially those on high-rise buildings. Strongly recommended Use 304 or even 316 grade stainless steel, or aluminum alloy with good corrosion resistance, and the surface treatment process must also keep up, such as fluorocarbon spraying, the weather resistance is much stronger than ordinary spray paint, as well as the luminous characters, the waterproof level of the LED module must be high, and the driving power supply must also be moisture-proof. Don’t underestimate these details, they directly determine whether this brand can accompany you through several springs, summers, autumns and winters.

Production and installation, the devil is in the details. The design drawings are beautiful and the materials are used well. When it comes to production and installation, we cannot take it lightly. The safety of the structure must be given top priority, especially for large-scale roof characters or side-mounted signs. The load-bearing and wind-resistant capacity of the steel structure skeleton must be calculated rigorously. This is related to public safety, so there cannot be any sloppiness. The installation location must be carefully considered. The best viewing angle must be considered, and the drainage outlet and ventilation facilities of the building itself must be avoided. Don't install it. I discovered that water accumulates when it rains. The professionalism of the installation team is very important. Experienced masters know what technology and accessories should be used to fix the walls most firmly on different walls in Qingdao (such as the fair-faced brick walls of old buildings, glass curtain walls of modern buildings, and dry-hanging stone). I once heard of a unit that improperly drilled holes in the glass curtain wall when installing signs, resulting in dark cracks in the glass. Later, it cost more to repair, which was really not worth the gain.

Don’t forget the “rules”. In Qingdao, unit signs, especially outdoor signs, are not something you can just make as large as you want or hang them wherever you want. They involve city appearance management and outdoor advertising setup approval. Different areas and buildings of different natures have corresponding specifications for the size, brightness, and even color of signs. Before doing it, it is best to understand the relevant regulations in the area or ask the production company to help consult clearly. Otherwise, if you have done it excitedly, but are asked to rectify or dismantle it by the relevant departments, the loss will be huge.

Making a good unit sign in Qingdao is a systematic project that requires five interlocking links: design, materials, production, installation, and regulations. Don't treat it as a simple "buying something" job. Spend more time, ask more questions, and find a reliable one. Only by cooperating with a design and production team that is familiar with the local environment can we truly create a "facade" that can both light up the brand and withstand ups and downs. After all, who doesn't want their unit to have an unforgettable, solid and reliable "first impression"?
