When people think of ADA Braille signs, they often picture plain, standard-looking plaques with basic raised lettering. But at SignWorks, we know that accessibility doesn’t have to mean boring. ADA-compliant signage can be creative, stylish, and even customized to match a company’s brand while still following all necessary regulations. Over the years, we’ve worked on several large-scale ADA sign projects, proving that functional signage can also be visually appealing.
What Makes an ADA Sign Compliant?
ADA signs are required by law to ensure accessibility for people with disabilities. They typically feature:
- Raised text so those with visual impairments can feel the letters.
- Grade 2 Braille to provide important information in a tactile format.
- High contrast between the text and background for readability.
- Non-glare finishes to prevent visibility issues under bright lights.
- Correct placement so they are easy to find and use.
Even with these requirements, ADA signage can be designed to reflect a company’s personality and enhance its space.
ADA Signs That Stand Out
At SignWorks, we’ve created ADA-compliant signage for a wide variety of industries, from corporate offices to medical facilities and educational institutions. Here are some of our favorite projects that show how ADA signs can be both functional and visually appealing.
- 75 Hawthorne – Elegant and Modern ADA Signs
For this San Francisco office building, we designed and installed custom ADA signs that fit seamlessly into the sleek, modern interior. Instead of using standard plastic plaques, we opted for brushed aluminum with integral Braille. The metallic finish provided a high-end look while still ensuring full compliance with ADA regulations.
Standout Features:
- Modern and professional appearance
- Durable aluminum construction
- Integral Braille for a seamless design
- California Conservation Corps – A Rustic, Natural Look
When the California Conservation Corps needed ADA signage for one of their facilities, they wanted something that reflected their commitment to environmental sustainability. We used woodgrain-textured photopolymer signs with earthy tones to blend into the natural surroundings.
Standout Features:
- Custom woodgrain texture for a natural feel
- Eco-friendly materials
- Clear, easy-to-read Braille and lettering
- Alameda County Mosquito Abatement – Bold and Branded ADA Signs
For this government facility, we created ADA signs in the company’s signature colors to maintain brand consistency. These signs featured high-contrast text and Braille, making them easy to read while also reinforcing the organization’s identity.
Standout Features:
- Custom color matching for branding consistency
- Durable materials for long-term use
- High-contrast text for maximum readability
Why Choose Custom ADA Signs?
Custom ADA signs allow businesses to maintain a cohesive look while still meeting legal requirements. Here’s why businesses should consider investing in high-quality, branded ADA signage:
