The need for a complete signage study prior to any development project

The aim of a signage study is to define the problems posed by the layout of an area, and to resolve them using appropriate tools.

Studio Y offers you its methodology and its range of products adapted to your project. A la carte, an enhancement of the area and a better appropriation of it by users.

Studio Y, experienced in signage projects

With over 35 years’ experience in the design of signage, Studio Y by Polymobyl offers solutions to suit all your project requirements.

We rely on a multi-disciplinary team of graphic artists, designers and conceptors, who favor a global approach to space planning. This guarantees you complete control at every stage of your project, within budget and on time.

An essential communication lever

As a visual communication medium, urban signage fulfils several key functions:

  • Orientation: guide users with directional signage (pedestrian streets, bike paths, ski slopes, etc.).
  • Identify: mark an area, building or service for better recognition.
  • Interpret: convey historical, cultural or environmental information.
  • Inform: post practical instructions, prohibitions or access times.

A design tailored to your needs

As signage designers, Studio Y understands the issues and challenges involved in a development project. Together, and according to your expectations, we can optimize existing signage or create new ones.

Rethinking traffic flow, making information more legible, choosing signage dimensions and finishes to improve the user experience, we provide you with a turnkey, tailor-made installation.

Graphics

Signage is more than just the materials themselves. It must adapt to the space in which it is installed. Each case is unique.

Our graphic designers will help you create a customized graphic charter for your site or building (museum, hospital, airport, sensitive natural area, university, mountain resort….).

Depending on the site, it’s also a scenarization, a journey that invites visitors to discover a site, a landscape, a heritage, and to slow down their pace to catch a glimpse of its main assets.

Studio Y integrates this service into its work. Together, we work to find a common thread, select themes, formalize the editorial content and choose the illustrations that will dress up the system.

Graphic design must be at the service of the project to make it an original cultural and educational offer (interpretation trail).

The choice of media (static or interactive with games, for example) must be designed to be consistent with the content and graphics. Furnishings must help to highlight messages.

Durability of materials, quality of prints, integration into the website…. Studio Y’s work must take into account accessibility and location constraints, in order to adapt the dimensions of the supports.

The combination of interpretive furniture and urban or artistic furniture reinforces the spirit of a place and makes the visitor an active participant in its discovery. Awakening the senses, arousing emotions and eliciting reactions remain the key words of successful design, the leitmotif of Studio Y by Polymobyl for each new project.

Catalog lines

Design is also one of our major concerns, and we pay particular attention to the aesthetics of our products.

The lines in our signage catalog – HOBBY, EASY, WOODY – each have their own strengths to bring your project to fruition. Integrated into their environment and finished to the highest standards, they bear witness to our professionalism and perfect knowledge of materials and ergonomics.
