Accessibility

Accessibility isn’t just a checklist — it’s a mindset. Creating a space that everyone can navigate comfortably and confidently reflects a thoughtful, inclusive brand. These essentials ensure your graphics and signage meet compliance standards and contribute to a better experience for all.

In Ontario, the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) requires signage for permanent spaces.

Examples:

Good wayfinding helps everyone, but it’s especially important for people with visual or cognitive disabilities.

Examples:

Visitors using mobility aids or with low vision need clearly marked accessible paths both inside and outside your space.

Examples:

In emergencies, clarity saves time. Exit and fire route signs should meet both local building codes and accessibility standards.

Examples:

Everyone uses kitchens, break rooms, and collaborative zones—make sure these areas feel equally welcoming and navigable.

Examples:

Retrofits are costly. Thinking about accessibility from the beginning ensures your office meets standards and creates a smoother experience for everyone.

Examples:

Branding

Creating a branded workspace isn’t just about adding logos to walls. It’s about shaping an environment that reflects who you are, how you work, and where you’re headed. Use this checklist to build consistency, clarity, and character into your space from day one.

Your color palette is one of the most powerful parts of your identity. Incorporating it into walls, accents, furniture, or signage helps people connect the space with your brand at a glance.

Your fonts and logo reflect your voice and style. Inconsistent use across signage, murals, or decals can dilute your brand’s credibility.

Spaces that share your mission, tagline, or purpose help team members feel aligned and visitors understand what you stand for.

our brand voice isn’t just in your marketing — it should show up in how your space feels. Playful, minimal, warm, corporate, energetic — your finishes, materials, and layout can all help reinforce tone.

Not every wall needs a logo but every visitor should walk away remembering something about you. Choose 1–3 focal points that capture your brand in a bold, intentional way.

Your brand might evolve and your space should keep up. Designing with flexibility in mind ensures your investment stays relevant.
