Western Pennsylvania Conservancy (WPC) is a private nonprofit conservation organization founded in 1932. They have helped establish 11 state parks, conserved more than 290,000 acres of natural lands, protected or restored more than 3,000 miles of rivers and streams, and assessed thousands of wildlife species and their habitats. Pannier is proud to partner with WPC to help complete many of its signage projects across western Pennsylvania.

Let’s be honest, we have all been somewhere in public and have seen a sign that was missing key information or was lacking necessary visual elements to help attract you into reading what it said. According to the National Park Service, a sign has 3 seconds to hook a viewer, 30 seconds if they are hooked, and 3 minutes to keep the viewer engaged if they are very interested. If you are unable to captivate your audience within 3 seconds, your message will be lost. Read below to learn some tips about how you can create an appealing sign!
