MAIPF Interior Branding Transformation

For businesses in Metro Detroit, a professional and welcoming office environment is essential for building client trust and supporting staff productivity. At SignScapes, we specialize in custom interior signage that helps organizations transform their spaces into functional, branded environments. When the Michigan Automobile Insurance Placement Facility (MAIPF) prepared to open a new office in Farmington Hills, MI, they turned to us for a complete interior branding solution that combined creativity, functionality, and compliance.

About the Client: MAIPF

The MAIPF is a trusted institution in the insurance industry, serving Michigan drivers by ensuring access to auto insurance coverage. As their team expanded, MAIPF moved into a new, modern office space. Their leadership wanted a fresh interior branding package that reflected professionalism, created a strong first impression for visitors, and supported accessibility for staff.

Project Scope: Interior Signage and Branding

SignScapes was contracted to design, fabricate, and install a cohesive set of interior signage solutions. Our deliverables included:

Custom lobby signs to create a branded, professional entryway.
ADA-compliant signs for offices and cubicles, ensuring accessibility and compliance.
Gradient privacy film for glass walls and conference rooms to balance transparency with privacy.

The objective was to align with MAIPF’s brand identity while enhancing the office’s functionality and visual appeal.

Challenges Faced

Every office transformation comes with unique challenges. For MAIPF, our team needed to address:

Brand Consistency

Multiple lobby areas required signage that reinforced the brand without appearing repetitive.

Functionality and Compliance

Ensuring we reproduce the intricate designs, logos, and messages with absolute precision

Privacy Without Darkness

Large glass partitions risked making offices feel exposed. The client wanted privacy solutions that maintained openness and natural light.

Tight Timeline

The office buildout required coordinated installation within a strict schedule to ensure everything was ready for opening.

Solutions Delivered

Our team worked closely with MAIPF leadership and contractors to ensure every element of the project was tailored to their vision and installed efficiently.

Custom Lobby Signs

We designed and fabricated two distinct dimensional lobby signs. Each incorporated the MAIPF logo with modern finishes, reinforcing the brand identity while adding sophistication to high-traffic areas. These signs immediately set the tone for visitors, creating a professional first impression.

ADA-Compliant Office Signs

Accessibility was a top priority. We fabricated and installed custom ADA-compliant room and office ID signs, blending brand colors with functional design. These signs ensure ease of navigation for all visitors and compliance with ADA standards, while also reinforcing the organization’s professional image.

Gradient Privacy Film

To balance transparency with confidentiality, we produced and installed frosted vinyl gradient privacy film on office and conference room glass walls. This solution maintained natural light and openness while adding a subtle branded look and providing employees with needed privacy.

Results

The completed project elevated MAIPF’s new office into a branded, functional environment that reflects their mission and professionalism. Key outcomes included:

Stronger Brand Presence: Visitors are welcomed with bold, modern signage that communicates trust and credibility.
Improved Accessibility: ADA-compliant signage makes the office inclusive and easy to navigate for all.
Enhanced Workspace Comfort: Privacy film improved staff comfort without reducing light, creating a balance of openness and confidentiality.
Cohesive Design: All elements—signs, films, and wayfinding—work together to create a unified, modern environment.
