Designing Public Signage That Serves and Inspires

For more than a decade, Landmark Signs has partnered with the County of Los Angeles to design and install high-quality signage across public buildings and civic spaces.

This partnership has always been about more than signs — it’s about communication, trust, and service. Every project, whether it’s a new courthouse directory or a major high-rise installation, reflects our shared goal: helping county staff, visitors, and residents navigate with confidence. Working closely with county representatives, our team ensures every detail — from design to installation — aligns with the county’s standards of clarity, quality, and long-term durability.

 

 

Our collaboration is built on precision, consistency, and reliability — values that have guided every project for more than 10 years. Together, we’ve created signage systems that not only enhance public spaces but also strengthen the community’s connection to the places that serve them.

About the County of Los Angeles Sign Project

The County of Los Angeles oversees thousands of facilities, from administrative offices and courthouses to public service buildings and community centers. Each one needs signage that communicates professionalism, accessibility, and civic pride.

 

Over the years, Landmark Signs has delivered a wide range of solutions — including Directional and Wayfinding Signs, Monument Signs, Lobby and 3D Signs, Directories, and High-Rise Building Signage — all tailored to the county’s diverse locations and audiences.

 

Each project brings its own set of challenges — navigating strict permitting requirements, ensuring ADA compliance, and adapting to a variety of architectural styles. Our team handles each stage with care, from design and fabrication to installation, guaranteeing that every sign meets both practical needs and visual goals.

 

 

By focusing on functionality, consistency, and long-term performance, we’ve helped the County of Los Angeles maintain a strong, unified image across departments — one that communicates reliability, efficiency, and civic pride.

Project Goals and Challenges

The County of Los Angeles needed signage that could do more than identify a location — it needed to serve the public, reflect authority, and stand the test of time. Each sign had to contribute to a seamless public experience while upholding the professionalism of the county’s image.

Here’s what we focused on:

  • Clear Communication: Directional and wayfinding signs designed for intuitive navigation, ensuring visitors reach their destinations with ease.

  • Civic Identity: Monument and high-rise signs that project trust, authority, and permanence, reflecting the integrity of government institutions.

  • Accessibility: ADA-compliant designs that support inclusivity and accessibility for all visitors.

  • Durability and Performance: Materials and finishes chosen to endure daily use and California’s diverse weather conditions, minimizing upkeep.

  • Consistency Across Sites: A unified visual language applied to all locations ensuring a cohesive public identity.

 

Each installation was a collaboration between form and function, meeting the county’s practical needs while enhancing the professionalism and visual impact of every space.



Public Signage Features & Design Approach

Our design approach for the County of Los Angeles focused on clarity, consistency, and civic presence. Every sign was created to both inform and inspire confidence, contributing to an environment that feels organized, accessible, and welcoming.


Exterior Signage: Presence and Professionalism


  • Monument Signs mark key entrances with permanence and distinction, giving public buildings an unmistakable presence.

  • High-Rise Building Signs ensure visibility and recognition across the skyline, representing government institutions with confidence and integrity.

Each sign is built for long-term performance and designed to reinforce the county’s image as organized, professional, and accessible to all.


Interior Signage: Guidance and Experience


  • Lobby and 3D Signs create polished, professional spaces that help staff and visitors feel supported.
  • Directories and Directional Signs simplify navigation through large, complex environments, ensuring residents, jurors, and guests reach their destinations quickly.

Every interior element was designed with clarity, consistency, and accessibility in mind — helping transform large civic spaces into environments that feel approachable, efficient, and well-organized.


Highlight of Project: Public Signage


This project showcases Landmark’s ability to combine functionality and design to serve the public. Across dozens of County of Los Angeles facilities, these signage systems work together to guide, inform, and inspire confidence in every visitor who walks through the door.

 

 

Each piece — from bold exterior monuments to precise interior directories — tells a consistent story of trust, transparency, and public service. For over a decade, Landmark Signs has been proud to play a small but meaningful role in helping one of the nation’s largest counties communicate clearly and serve its community effectively.

The Impact of Signage on the County of Los Angeles

This long-standing partnership has made a measurable impact — improving public accessibility, reinforcing civic identity, and enhancing the overall experience within county facilities.

  • Simplified Access: Directional and wayfinding signage helps residents and visitors find their way with ease, reducing confusion in large buildings.

  • Stronger Civic Presence: Monument and high-rise signs give government spaces a clear, professional identity that instills confidence and trust.

  • Improved Public Experience: Interior signs and directories create welcoming, organized environments for both staff and the community.

  • Lasting Value: With durable materials and careful installation, each sign continues to serve the public year after year with minimal maintenance.

  • Trusted Collaboration: Over a decade of partnership has proven Landmark’s dependability — consistently delivering quality signage that meets the county’s high standards.

 

Together, these signs do more than identify buildings — they help connect people to public services, communicate reliability, and reflect the professionalism of Los Angeles County.


Transforming Public Spaces Through Signage

Every public building tells a story — about service, accessibility, and community. For the County of Los Angeles, that story is one of trust and civic pride. Our signage solutions helped shape that narrative through clarity, craftsmanship, and consistency.

 

Inside, lobby and 3D signage made spaces feel approachable and organized. Outside, Monument and High-Rise Signs projected confidence and authority. Each installation reflected a county committed to professionalism and public trust.

 

 

Together, these elements have transformed public spaces into cohesive, user-friendly environments that enhance both function and perception. Visitors now navigate with ease, while employees benefit from improved organization and visibility — a true reflection of the county’s dedication to serving its residents effectively.



The Role of Signage in Public Service

In government environments, signage isn’t just a design element — it’s a communication tool that builds trust. Clear, consistent signs help residents feel confident and informed while navigating complex public systems.

 

From directional signs that simplify courthouse visits to monument signs that symbolize civic authority, every piece contributes to a smoother public experience. High-quality signage reassures visitors that they’re in capable hands and reflects a government’s commitment to transparency, service, and community.

 

 

At Landmark Signs, we take pride in designing signage that serves both form and function — helping public institutions communicate with the people they represent.

Lessons Learned and Lasting Takeaways

A decade of collaboration with the County of Los Angeles has taught us that clarity, durability, and consistency are the pillars of effective public signage.

 

Each sign type, whether it’s a Directional Sign in a busy hall or a High-Rise Building Sign visible across downtown, contributes to the same mission: making public service accessible, professional, and efficient.

 

 

The key takeaway? When signage is done thoughtfully, it becomes more than a label — it becomes a lasting expression of trust between an institution and its community.

    Working with the county of LA takes some special talents....They have many locations and as you can see by the photos, some are very large and some are very small. We have to work with cities, landlords who sometimes pay for the signs and the county people....We enjoy working with LA county and have had a wonderful relationship for over 30 years!
