Static vs Digital Signs: Are the Latest Trends Here To Stay?

In the world of signage, change is inevitable.

Much of that change is driven by technology – new materials and new technology mean we’re always seeing new ways to make your brand come to life.

But not all of that change is driven by technology.

Trends come and go, and the signage world is no different. 

Retro signage is trending at the moment, proving that the more things change, the more they stay the same. Neon and hand-painted signs have ridden the vintage wave to become some of our most requested designs in recent times.

That’s why it’s important for signage companies to have multi-skilled staff. You want to give your clients the confidence that your team can handle not only the latest innovations, but the tried and true designs of bygone eras. 

And as we’ve seen recently as we grapple with a recession, only specialising in certain types of signage will be detrimental to any signage business, no matter how good they are at what they do best.

If you asked us five years ago what the industry landscape would be like now, we would have thought digital signage would play a much bigger part. 

Instead, static signage is here to stay, and in some cases we’re even seeing clients swapping their digital signs for static ones.

So, while digital signage is a modern essential, static signage is the “essential essential” and will be for years to come.

If you’re looking for a new sign for your business, we have a vast array of signage solutions to suit your needs. 

Whether it be modern, retro, classic or anything in between, we can create it for you at Resolve.
