Well-crafted signs that reflect modern trends are the best way to get attention. That means staying current on sign trends, and updating your signs when necessary. If your signs look old-fashioned or out-of-date, you could be limiting your customer base. If you want to get the highest return on your investment in high-quality signs, talk to one of our design assistants about incorporating some of these top sign trends of 2025 into your business signage:
Bold Typography
These days, signs are competing with smart phones, air pods, and a lot of other distractions to get noticed. Bold typography is a great way to cut through the noise and make sure your message gets seen. Signs with thick, bold fonts like geometric sans-serifs, expressive serifs, and even custom lettering improve readability from a distance and create a visually arresting focal point.
Minimalism
Minimalist signs also create a clean and straight-to-the-point message that gets results. Clean lines, uncluttered layouts, and a strategic use of negative space create a sense of sophistication and allow the core message to shine through.
Sustainability
Sustainable practices are definitely on-trend for signs this year. Sustainability includes things like using recycled materials to make the signs, using energy-efficient LED lighting, and creating designs with minimal waste.
Dynamic Digital Displays
Static signs are out. Modern technology makes it easy to create dynamic digital displays that allow businesses to change their messaging, promote special offers, and even incorporate interactive elements. From eye-catching animations to real-time updates, digital signage provides a dynamic and engaging experience.
Retro Designs
Mid-century back design is back in a big way, and not just for homes and furniture. Retro design elements that use vintage 50s and 60s color palettes, classic typography, and a touch of nostalgia appeal to older consumers who remember them, and younger consumers who like the vibe.
Blending Physical and Digital
Sign design in 2025 is focused on using modern technology to incorporate QR codes, NFC tags, and augmented reality (AR) experiences into the signs. These interactive elements connect the physical sign with online content, providing customers with additional information and engaging them in new ways.
Biophilic Design
Natural touches bring an organic sense of calm and familiarity to signs. Incorporating natural elements like wood, stone, and plant life into sign designs creates a sense of tranquility and connection with nature. Wellness and personal health businesses should incorporate natural elements into signs as a subtle brand reinforcement.
Accessibility for All
Signage should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their abilities. This includes considering factors like font size, contrast, lighting, and placement. Braille and tactile signage are essential for visually impaired individuals, while clear and concise messaging benefits everyone.
