Transform your wayfinding and signage design workflow.

SignAgent Design is the product within our suite dedicated to the planning, plotting, and specification phase of a wayfinding program. It is built for anyone-internal or external-responsible for the functional and visual strategy of a sign system.

Users typically include:

• Specialized Consultants: Wayfinding consultants and architects use it as a standalone product to program complex environments for their clients.
• In-House Teams: Facility signage and wayfinding managers use it as part of SignAgent Manage to maintain brand standards and update sign schedules as departments move or rebrand.
• Design-Build Firms: Design-build firms use it as part of a SignAgent Build to implement design, production, and installation.

SignAgent Design streamlines:

• Planning: Mapping precise sign locations and "programming" messages directly onto floor plans.
• Automation: Instantly generating technical specs and message schedules for stakeholders or fabricators.
• Lifecycle Accuracy: Ensuring that design intent remains consistent from the first sketch through to the final installation.

SignAgent combines location plans and message schedules within one shared, cloud-based platform. This means you have a single source of truth and no longer have to deal with documents and information spread out various folders. SignAgent also enables you to create accurate message schedules, fabricator scripts, and reports.

Yes, with SignAgent sign templates can be designed for specific sign types in Adobe Illustrator, with each field on its own layer (templates should ideally be full scale). The resulting SVG templates can then be imported into SignAgent, giving you dynamic artwork that enables you to make content changes to individual signs or in batches within SignAgent.

In SignAgent, sign types act as your standards library. Each sign type can include your layouts, rules, fields, materials, specs, and artwork templates. Once sign types are set up, designers can reuse them across projects to keep work consistent and avoid rebuilding the same signs from scratch.

SignAgent keeps your plans, sign placements, and sign content connected in one system, so revisions are easier to manage. When something changes, you can update affected signs (individually or in batches), track approvals and comments, and export updated schedules and reports without manually reconciling multiple PDFs and spreadsheets.

Importing location plans into SignAgent is straightforward with specific preparation steps. Supported formats include PDFs (preferred), PNG, and JPG, with multi-page PDFs automatically split into separate locations. PDF plans should be flattened before uploading to optimize performance and avoid errors; keep the largest document dimension under 60 inches for faster load times.

Signs are drawn normally in Adobe Illustrator, with each field on its layer and exported as an SVG. That can then be imported into SignAgent as a template. Illustrator files can also be directly uploaded to the new SignAgent Designer.

Yes, you can invite people into SignAgent Design to review your work.

• Reviewers are Free: You can invite unlimited clients or stakeholders to review projects at no extra cost.
• Permissions: Reviewers can view sign locations, read messages, and leave comments, but they cannot edit or move your data.
• Approval Workflow: They have access to "Approve" or "Reject" buttons to provide clear, actionable feedback on individual signs.
