Parking Garage Signage Gets Creative
I’m a little absent minded. Sometimes I lose my car. I mean it. I will park, go shopping and have no idea where I could have left the darn thing. I walk down one row, up another, down one row, up another…once I even set off the alarm just to find it. I used to think I was the only one that had this problem…until I parked in a downtown garage.
Garage parking generally uses painted signs that have been stenciled onto the pavement. Even the large numbers affixed near the elevators are usually painted. However, they can also be made of a thin aluminum signs that are drilled directly into the concrete. I saw something completely different, though.
The color coded wall included a small plastic card holder. The card? The number of the floor you were parked on that matched to that color. How genius is that? If you only remembered pink, you would find your car. Otherwise, if you just remembered ‘5’, good for you. You could also take a card, though, and use it to ‘find your way.’ Unless you’re as good at losing things as you are at forgetting where you put the card?
The concept would be interesting if taken to the next level of branding. If a floor was designated to Morris & Morris, Attorneys, why not place their logos next to the elevator. Further, you could offer informational cards to your guests or just color coded parking cards. If it was solely employee related, what a great place for a communication board or company calendar.
At any rate, I’d love the same thing in a mall parking lot…a little card that told me where I’d parked. Even better, a little map with an ‘X’ that said ‘Your car here.’ Of course, it couldn’t actually work that way. So, for now, I’ll continue to be awed by the genius of the person who created the parking garage sign card holder. Kudos! Fine work, Sir!
