Picto Signs is a design-led wayfinding and signage company, working across six sectors in the UK – education, healthcare, culture, living spaces, workplace, and community and sports facilities.

We develop each wayfinding scheme from the initial briefing stage, through to its manufacture, installation and final onsite checks. Our work helps people to understand and navigate their way through the spaces and places they visit.

Who we work for

We work across the UK with architects, interior designers, project managers, contractors, and developers. We also work directly with clients and decision-makers who have the responsibility to run and operate buildings.

“The interpretation panels that Picto have produced for us are stylish and innovative. We know from visitor research that the design, to guide people through four centuries of style in our new gallery, has been successful.”
