Keenan Solicitors

An experienced and highly respected solicitors practice in suburban Belfast who provide a range of professional legal services across several different fields of law. Their office is located on a busy arterial route so they needed to affirm their presence on the road with a strong and impactful signage solution to engage potential new customers day and night.

1. the brief_

Being located in a leafy suburb of the city, the company had a fantastic location. Traffic levels are heavy and road speeds are often well below 30mph. Perfect for attracting the attention of the passing public with the right display. The building is a substantial red brick on a corner location, so a prime spot and the existing wall mounted signage was clean, white, minimalist text which was prominent and backlit. However with grounds around the building available for use, space was there to create more substantial signage which could elevate the messaging possibilities even further.

BEGINNINGS

To solve the issue, our creative team needed to design a solution which we felt would not only convey the brand more prominently but have space to display a list of their key services and their contact details pretty much at a glance and yet stay within the parameters of the company brand guidelines. We created concept designs aligned with the company brand which maintained a corporate, professional feel. We then took a selection of alternate formats to the client, based around a totem sign format with a view to progressing the project to the next stage. We felt a totem sign would be ideal for the corner location.

3. the design_

With sign off on the prototype, we set out to display the key services in a clear, precise and eye catching format. The tall, column structure would need to rise above the perimeter railing and showcase the branding and services. The height was ideal to create an immediate visual impact. The simple, geometric form of a totem creates a strong presence emerging from the ground.
Not all on-street advertising is double-sided, but totem signs offer this ideal two way messaging, facing in the direction of oncoming traffic of the busy thoroughfare.

4. the creation_

Design, plan, create, install. The four main stages of our signage process. This was going to be sleek, quality design but being illuminated would make it difficult to ignore at any time of day. Outdoor signage needs to be robust to withstand the local climate so we were careful to choose the correct material, again all within the supplied company brand guidelines. The bespoke sign with illumination on the inside illuminates the crucial text and logo, hitting the brief outlined from day one. Designed and manufactured with precision by our team, these structures are robust and built to last.

5. the results_

We work closely with each client individually and early on we get a feel for what could work in each particular setting. Our creative team are great at succinctly aligning bespoke signage solutions to every industry or sector. In this instance, the architecture and site plan lent itself beautifully to a totem sign, especially with the two way traffic. We were able to download all the crucial information from the client to ensure our teams knew precisely the best option to pursue and with sign off quickly agreed, we took our vision from the screen to the machine and made it a reality. The results? A strong and powerful street presence which aligns with the client’s corporate identify and hits the brief on conveying the brand more prominently plus having space to display key services at a glance, 24/7. Case closed.
