EcoSignage - Overview
It is indisputable that we live in an Eco-Conscious Era. Now, we must be Eco-Minded in our daily lives.
Green Action trumps Green Knowledge
Eco-Signage fosters environmentally-friendly practices in visual communication. It is about information, way-finding, instruction, and labeling of our tools. It is about reducing, reusing, and recycling our media and materials.
Our Green Philosophy
Pure Media Sign Studio embraces the philosophy of organic architecture promoted by Frank Lloyd Wright, Louis Sullivan, and Claude Bragdon amongst others, to encompass “multi-platform branding”. We strive to achieve harmony between human communication and our daily environments through design approaches that integrate information and display into unified compositions. To fully infuse this philosophy, natural and environmentally friendly materials play a major role in the construction of our products from biodegradable substrates to LED lit frames. Pure Media Sign Studio pledges to seek out and promote the use of eco-friendly materials in an industry that finds itself at the inception of a vast “green” movement. Sustainability is our basic moral responsibility.
