When designing your new signage, it pays to look at the latest trends influencing the signage industry. At Corporate Sign Industries, our experts have noticed a few trends arising and we are excited to see how these unfold in 2025.
In this article, we explore some of the signage trends to watch for next year, from emerging design styles to the integration of new technologies.
Minimalist outdoor signs
In today’s advertising landscape, viewers are overwhelmed with visual stimuli. This is why we recommend opting for signage designs that are clear, streamlined, and uncluttered. This ensures your signage is easy for people to read and absorb, creating valuable clarity amidst complexity. You should reduce the amount of content on minimalist outdoor sign designs to ensure unnecessary information isn’t included. Including too much unnecessary content on outdoor sign designs can lead to viewers not noticing what’s important.
Our design tip
When it comes to minimalist sign designs, ensuring that your outdoor signs are designed with the intended viewer in mind is important. Take a moment to stop and consider who the intended viewer is, how much time they will have to read your sign, and what they need to know. For instance, a motorist will rarely have more than 3 – 5 seconds to read a street-facing sign, whereas a pedestrian would have a lot longer. If we include too much information, viewers won’t read any of it.
The vibrancy and sharpness of the printing also helps the sign to be as clear as possible. That’s why we recommend using the digital printing method. At Corporate Sign Industries, we use an 8-colour Roland Digital Printer and Mimaki UV printer with a minimum triple print pass to create a striking, high-quality finish.
Electra Digital signs technology
Electra digital signage is an efficient way to communicate changeable messages to your community. With these digital displays, you can provide information in a dynamic way, updating the details and imagery as required.
Our design tip
P4 LED signs are the best choice for closer viewing distances because they offer a higher pixel density and better resolution. On the other hand, P6 LED signs are better for viewing distances over six metres.

Eco-friendly materials
In the signage industry, we’re seeing an increasing emphasis on sustainability with respect to the materials used. Popular sustainable options include recycled metals and plastics, along with non-toxic, water-based paints, adhesives, and finishes.
By implementing these sustainable practices, your signage will reflect your environmental responsibility and align with eco-conscious values.
Our design tip
Sustainable signage is about more than just the materials, it’s also about the longevity of your signs. The longer a sign is in active use, the less energy and raw materials are required to replace it. Aluminium is a great option because it offers excellent durability and can be recycled after use.
3D layered signage
Effective signage design is all about grabbing the attention of the viewer and maximising visibility. One of the innovative ways to achieve this is with three-dimensional layering, creating a dynamic and eye-catching display.
With a 3D layered sign, you can add depth to your branding, making your organisation’s name and logo stand out from the rest of the sign. This builds on your brand’s identity, ensuring you stay front of mind for your community.
Our design tip
A 3D sign provides a great opportunity to use illumination. This will highlight the key elements of the sign to maximise visibility and visual impact.

Solar-powered lighting
If your signs feature an illuminated option, why not harness renewable solar energy to power them? By using solar energy, you can reduce your energy costs significantly while also improving sustainability.
The power supply can be located next to or on the sign, enabling great flexibility in your sign’s location. Since the signage unit and power are functionally autonomous, you can avoid the expensive and disruptive process of running underground electrical wiring.
