Britannia Design & Print designs, makes and installs office branding across Birmingham from our workshop in Bordesley Green. We can fit outside working hours, so nobody loses a day’s work to us being in the way. Over 20 years serving the UK market.
Office branding is the work of putting your visual identity onto the inside of your building — reception signage, wall graphics, door and room signs, frosted glass, meeting room names and dimensional lettering.
It’s the difference between an office that looks like yours and an office that looks like whoever had it before you.
Your logo behind the desk, done properly. Built-up letters, a printed acrylic panel, or a painted wall graphic depending on your logo and budget. Reception signs are the first thing every visitor sees and the backdrop to every photo taken in your building, so this is where the money goes first.
Large-format printed vinyl applied straight to the wall. Photography, patterns, brand colours, values, a company timeline, a map of where your clients are. Office wall graphics go on and come off without redecorating, which makes them a good fit for a leased space.
Room names, numbers, department markers. Acrylic, brushed aluminium or engraved plates. Done as a matching set, office interior signage does more for how considered a workplace looks than most people expect from something so small.
Frosted film on internal glazing for privacy, with your logo cut into it. Doubles as safety marking on full-height glass. Covered in detail on our window frosting page.
Values, mission statements, department names, raised lettering in corridors and breakout areas. Office wall signs use space that’s otherwise dead.
If you’ve got more than one office, the whole point is that they match. We keep artwork, materials and finishes consistent so your corporate branding doesn’t drift from site to site.
| Where | What usually works | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Reception wall | Built-up letters or printed acrylic panel | First impression, and it’s in every photo |
| Open-plan walls | Large-format printed vinyl | Covers a big area affordably, removable |
| Meeting room doors | Acrylic or brushed aluminium plates | Matching set looks considered, easy to update |
| Internal glass | Frosted film with cut logo | Privacy plus branding plus safety marking |
| Corridors and stairwells | Dimensional lettering or vinyl | Uses dead space, cheap per square metre |
| Breakout areas | Printed wall graphics | Where personality is welcome |
Three practical reasons, and none of them are about looking pretty.
Clients form a view in the lobby. A visitor decides how seriously to take you before anyone has said a word. A blank magnolia reception says small, temporary, or not doing very well — whether or not any of that is true.
Staff work in it every day. People care more about where they work than they admit. An office that’s been thought about is a small, constant signal that the business is thought about too.
Recruitment happens in photos. Your careers page, your LinkedIn posts, your interview room. All of it is shot in your office. Branded space photographs better than a bare wall, and you’ll use those images for years.
Office wall graphics are printed self-adhesive vinyl, applied directly to a prepared wall. They can cover a full wall or a single shape, and they can be matt, gloss, textured, or cut so only the artwork shows with no visible background.
A few things worth knowing:
Where customers actually visit, the difference shows up in a few measurable ways.
Clear office interior signage means fewer confused visitors and fewer interruptions for whoever’s on reception. Glass manifestation stops people walking into full-height glazing. Privacy frosting on meeting room glass means clients can have a confidential conversation without feeling watched.
In healthcare and professional services especially, the fit-out is part of what the client is judging. A dental practice or clinic with an anonymous waiting room is working against itself.
Anyone who invites people into their premises, plus anyone who wants their team to feel like the business is going somewhere.
The ones who order workspace branding most often in Birmingham: professional services firms, clinics and dental practices, tech and creative studios, estate agents, recruitment agencies, accountants and solicitors, gyms and studios, showrooms and trade counters.
The common triggers are moving premises, a lease renewal, a rebrand, or a fit-out that’s gone in and left the walls bare.
The ones that land tend to be specific to the business rather than generic motivation.
A wall map showing where your clients or projects are. A timeline of the company along a corridor. Meeting rooms named after something that means something internally, done as a proper matching set. Your actual work printed large, if you make something visual. Brand colour used as a block on one wall rather than applied to everything.
The ones that age badly: stock photography of people in suits shaking hands, single-word values in large type, and quotes from famous people who have nothing to do with your business.
For most offices this is the sensible option. Vinyl application and sign fitting are disruptive, involve ladders, and sometimes smell for an hour or two.
We can work evenings, weekends or over a shutdown period, so your team walks in on Monday to a finished space.
Small jobs — a reception sign and a set of door plates — are usually a single visit once the artwork is made, with manufacture taking 2 to 5 working days.
A full office scheme takes longer, and the time goes into design and approval rather than the fitting. If you’re working to a move-in date, tell us early.
Office branding scales with the space, so the number of rooms, the wall area and the mix of materials are what set the price.
A single reception logo is a small job. A full scheme covering reception, meeting rooms, doors and glazing is priced as one package, which works out better than ordering each piece separately.
Send us photos of your reception and main spaces with rough wall sizes, and we’ll come back with ideas and a fixed price covering design, materials and installation.
Send a few photos of your reception and main spaces, with rough wall sizes, and we’ll come back with ideas and a price.
Applying your visual identity to the inside of your premises using reception signage, wall graphics, door and room signs, glass manifestation and dimensional lettering.
It shapes the impression visitors form before anyone speaks, it affects how staff feel about the workplace, and it gives you a space worth photographing for recruitment and marketing.
It scales with the space. Room count, wall area and the mix of materials set the price, and a full scheme quoted as one package works out better than ordering piece by piece. Send us photos and rough wall sizes for a price.
Large-format printed vinyl applied directly to the wall. Removable without redecorating, which suits leased offices.
Professional services, clinics and dental practices, agencies, studios, estate agents, gyms and showrooms. Most orders follow a move, a rebrand or a fit-out.
Yes. Clear signage reduces confusion and interruptions, glass manifestation improves safety, and privacy frosting allows confidential conversations.
Reception signage, wall graphics, meeting room and door signs, glass frosting and manifestation, directional signage and dimensional lettering.
A small set takes one visit after 2 to 5 working days of manufacture. A full scheme takes longer, with the time going into design and approval rather than the fitting.
Yes. Evenings, weekends or shutdown periods, so your team isn’t working around us.
Things specific to your business: client maps, company timelines, your own work printed large, meeting rooms named around something internal. Avoid stock photography and generic single-word values.
