Signage in Nairobi: why your signs should match your uniforms

Customers meet a business in a sequence: the sign outside, the reception wall, the person who greets them and the vehicle that arrives at their door. If these four do not look like they belong together, the brand feels accidental. Signage in Nairobi and across Kenya works better when it uses the same logo, colours and typefaces as your staff uniforms and printed material.

MoveBrands is a Nairobi Kasarani-based business that already brands staff wear, caps and gifts, which makes it practical to plan signage around the same artwork. You can bring your files, or a printed sample, to our shop in Kasarani, Nairobi to discuss the sign before any work begins.

Design tips that make signs readable

Vehicle branding for fleets

Branded delivery vans and company cars move your name around Nairobi, Nakuru, Mombasa and the highways in between. Decide whether you need simple door decals and a rear panel or a full wrap. Decals are lighter and easier to replace; wraps give full coverage but require careful surface preparation. Vehicle quotes depend on the shape and surface, so we usually ask for a visit or photos with measurements before confirming the work.

Fleets are often done more consistently in batches so every vehicle has the same layout. Pair vehicle branding with reflector jackets and security uniforms for drivers and guards.

Choosing between signage options on a limited budget

Not every business needs a full illuminated fascia. A small shop can start with window vinyl and a clear roll-up banner, then upgrade the fascia later using the same logo files. A new office may begin with a reception sign and add wayfinding once the layout settles. Prioritise what customers see first and plan the rest in stages.

How to get a signage quote

  1. Send your location, the type of sign and your logo by WhatsApp on +254 720 149 329 or email info@movebrands.co.ke.
  2. Provide photos of the wall, frontage or vehicle and approximate measurements.
  3. Tell us where you are, because some jobs need a short site or vehicle visit to confirm dimensions.
  4. Receive an itemised price list or quote and agree the design before work begins.
  5. Plan installation or collection, depending on the sign.

We work from Nairobi and can deliver portable items such as banners and roll-ups to Thika, Machakos, Kiambu, Naivasha, Nakuru, Eldoret, Kisumu, Mombasa, Nyeri and Meru. Larger fixed installations away from Nairobi need to be discussed first, so ask us what is practical for your location. See our branding services and promotional items for related work.

Signage: common questions

Q

Do I need approval to put up a shopfront sign?

Signage rules depend on your building owner and the county. Check with both before installation, and send us your dimensions.

Q

Can you make roll-up banners for an exhibition?

Yes. Roll-up banners are portable and quick to produce; send the content, size and event date.

Q

Is vehicle branding permanent?

Decals and wraps can be removed later, though removal depends on the age and condition of the vehicle paint.

Q

Can signage match my staff uniform colours?

Yes. Send your brand colours or a uniform sample and we will match as closely as the material allows.

Q

Can you change the details on a sign later?

Some elements, such as vinyl lettering, can be updated. Ask us when planning so the sign can be made to change easily.
