    Great list Sander. There are some excel­lent sites here. Some of the infor­ma­tion regard­ing dig­i­tal sig­nage is par­tic­u­larly infor­ma­tive. And of course thanks for includ­ing the fd2s blog.

    Wow, thanks for the list, what a great resource.

    I just launched a dig­i­tal signage/wayfinding blog at http://scott.path-point.com it ties in with my com­pany and our prod­ucts but the plan is to stay away from doing too much astroturfing.

    Just a note to say that All­signs­group, men­tioned in your list above, has rebranded over the sum­mer and is now called Octink. Their blog can be found at http://www.octink.com/blog/. They spe­cialise in recy­cling and are devel­op­ing a closed loop range of recy­cled prod­ucts so if any­one is inter­ested in sus­tain­able sig­nage then check them out. They have a new range of archi­tec­tural sig­nage out too here: http://www.octink.com/products/architectural_signage/.

    Love the site by the way — I shall be back for inspiration!

    Navaho spe­cialise in dig­i­tal sig­nage solu­tions, includ­ing wayfind­ing sys­tems for hotels, con­fer­ence cen­tres, large cor­po­rates and health­care applications.

    We’ve just posted a case study about the large dig­i­tal wayfind­ing and meet­ing room sig­nage solu­tion which we installed in Novo­tel Lon­don West last year on our web­site: http://www.navaho.tv — look under the case stud­ies menu.

    You can also fol­low our lat­est news at http://news.navaho.tv and our tech blog with lots of behind the scenes info at http://techblog.navaho.tv

    Great idea. Lots of techie-talk in Dig­i­tal Sig­nage, but not as much mar­ket­ing savvy as I’d like to see. We have an amaz­ing prod­uct: The Win­dow Video Sys­tem. See this link:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ITy5zoRZ7RQ

    Retail sig­nage and dis­play will never be the same. Larger images, color, motion and video, more prod­uct dis­plays, more mes­sages, pro­mos, sales, incen­tives and cross-media poten­tial. Retail will ben­e­fit enor­mously when they avail them­selves of the tech­nol­ogy solu­tions avail­able to them. At Lookn­glas, we make pro­jected Dig­i­tal Sig­nage more pow­er­ful, effec­tive, and affordable.

    Inter­ac­tive dig­i­tal sig­nage could ben­e­fit a lot from a Inter­ac­tive Wayfind­ing mod­ule. The key prob­lem is that floor plan devel­op­ment and main­te­nance cost is too high. This is a wayfind­ing soft­ware with such capa­bil­ity — cre­ate floor plan on-the-fly: move the “you are here” right at the kiosk, mod­ify floor plan by drag and drop, input ten­ants and event info from web inter­face. Such fea­ture makes it eas­ier for dis­trib­u­tor to owner to develop and main­tain a work­able solu­tion:

    Excel­lent post and see­ing that dig­i­tal sig­nage and way find­ing is becom­ing increas­ing pop­u­lar blogs are pop­ping up all over.

    Out­door Dig­i­tal Sig­nage Solu­tions and Dig­i­tal Menu Boards these cover every thing form out­door dig­i­tal sig­nage pro­tec­tion, through glass touch screen solu­tions, dig­i­tal menu boards and dig­i­tal posters.

    We’re yet to delve into the whole dig­i­tal sig­nage arena. To be hon­est I am a lit­tle wary of the prob­lems that may arise from ongo­ing requests for tech­ni­cal sup­port from clients. I sup­pose it’s just some­thing that you have to fac­tor in.

    I def­i­nitely won’t argue that it is not the future of the sign indus­try… just wary about jump­ing in!

    Thanks for the list.

    Ben­e­fits of Dig­i­tal Signage

    * You can dis­play var­i­ous types of media with your dig­i­tal sign
    * Dig­i­tal Sig­nage can dis­play con­tent rel­e­vant to a spe­cific site or region
    * You can per­form con­tent changes and deliver your mes­sage quickly
    * You have com­plete con­trol over your net­work of dig­i­tal sig­nage dis­plays from one cen­tral loca­tion
    * Dig­i­tal Sig­nage can lower over­head by remov­ing tra­di­tional paper communication

    You have some great con­tent on wayfind­ing sig­nage. It is an area that can be over­whelm­ing for both the pur­chaser and in many cases the sign comp­nay try­ing to come up with the best solution.

    Good work.

    Let­ting your brand­ing do it’s job! Illu­mi­nated sig­nage is the most effec­tive and attrac­tive of all sig­nage for­mats. For obvi­ous rea­sons the brighter the light the more atten­tion that is drawn. If you con­sider many of the com­mer­cial land­marks around the world, Times Square, Leices­ter Square, the most memorable…Exterior signs.

    Thank you for the list! It’s very help­ful and full of inspi­ra­tion. Have a look at this page if you are inter­ested in multi-site brand­ing, wayfind­ing envi­ron­ment and sig­nage solu­tion in Aus­tralia: http://www.bpconcepts.com.au

    in defin­ing and iden­ti­fy­ing a projects pur­pose, which ulti­mately helps to bring an envi­ron­ment to life.”
