What is environmental graphics?

Environmental graphics involve designing visual elements within physical spaces – such as signage, decoration and wayfinding systems – to reflect a brand’s identity. They create a cohesive branded environment in retail, office or public settings. Beyond their decorative use, they can also serve important functions, aiding direction and identification within a physical environment.

Why environmental graphics matter?

Environmental graphics can transform physical spaces into immersive brand experiences. By applying your visual identity consistently across signage, decoration and wayfinding systems, you can strengthen your brand identity and boost its recognition. These designs can enhance in-person interactions – positively impacting both staff and customer perceptions of your brand. Environmental graphics provide an important avenue for you to be distinctive and memorable.

Event graphics

Catch the attention of event attendees and exhibition visitors with stand-out visuals. If your layout is more complicated, wayfinding signage can help visitors get around.

Brand-driven approach

At Brand Purist, we take a brand-driven approach to design. Whether it’s for digital or physical spaces, all artwork should fit into your overarching brand system. Designs should adhere to your guidelines and express your values. First, we learn about your brand and understand its context including the physical environment and your audience. Then we craft graphics and signage that strengthens brand recognition.
