When you’re an award-winning architectural firm, your office aesthetic is important, which is why we were honored to be commissioned to fabricate interior office signs for Arkinetics. As the 2017 Ohio State Historic Preservation Award winners, Arkinetics are no strangers to classic design, with offices housed in an old, brick fire station in Cleveland, Ohio.
Pairing old with new, Arkinetics opted to have their logo pop in the front of the building. We fabricated interior wall signs, made from ⅜” acrylic in their eye-catching logo colors. On the same wall, beneath Arkinetics signature logo, is their motto, “we make it right,” with 3d letters routed from acrylic and applied directly to the wall.
Because Arkinetics core values drive their business, they opted to incorporate their brand values into their office design. The four core values Arkinetics stands behind include:
Good People -- both internally and externally, we hire good people and we work with good people.
Make it Right – no matter what, do it right the first time. But if you do find a mistake, do what it takes to make it right.
Value Adder – we are leaders in our market focus areas and will bring that knowledge to the team.
Resourceful solutions – we see challenges as opportunities. Using the resources of the entire team, together we’ll come up with a solution that’s best for the project.
Using wall lettering and graphics, we were able to produce an inspirational wall for Arkinetics, just outside of their break room area. With Exceptional Teammates as the header, followed by their signature logo square graphics, with vinyl letters spelling T-R-U-S-T interspersed, the wall was complete once the four core values were added at the bottom.
By incorporating custom office signs and wall signs, Arkinetics is capitalizing on two of the benefits of interior signs -- branding and atmosphere. Keeping the Arkinetics logo consistent throughout the building helps solidify their company brand and brand message. Arkinetics use of wall lettering and graphics displays a consistent brand awareness and cohesiveness, especially for visitors in their offices, as well as a reminder of the company’s driving force -- their core values.
If you’re looking to update your business space, consider creating custom interior signage to incorporate throughout. Not only will it breathe new life into your existing space, it can inspire employees and leave a positive, lasting impression upon clients.
