If your office is located inside a larger facility, you need to make sure visitors know how to find you. A well-designed office door plaque will display your business name prominently, so there will be no confusion among patients, customers, or any other parties who need to enter your office. Discover how to design your sign by considering the following features.

3 Design Factors for an Effective Office Door Plaque

1. Size

The size of your office door plaque should be large enough to read from a distance. However, it should not be overwhelming in relation to the size of the door or other plaques located on nearby doors. Since the only information you should include is your business name, it doesn’t need to be larger than a foot, depending on the length of your company’s name. A 10” by 2” sign is considered average, but you can make adjustments with custom signage as needed.

2. Font

The font you choose must be highly readable. The font style can also match the nature of your business. For formal settings, such as medical and law offices, consider using bold, all-caps lettering. In more casual offices, commonly used fonts such as Helvetica or Garamond may be appropriate since they are easy to read yet neutral.   

3. Material

Brass, bronze, and etched aluminum are common choices in many medical and professional settings. Opt for wood or sandblasted Corian® to bring character to offices that are aiming for a welcoming atmosphere, such as a travel agency or a pediatrician’s office.
