Collins Aerospace: refreshing interior signage as part of long-standing partnership

Collins Aerospace signage completed by Signs Now

Collins Aerospace , Wolverhampton

For engineering organisations with complex site structures, consistent branding and signage play an important role in presenting a unified identity. 

From reception areas to internal wayfinding, every detail must reflect the organisation’s standards while aligning with evolving brand guidelines.

Signs Now have worked with Wolverhampton-based Collins Aerospace and HS Marston for more than 20 years, supporting ongoing signage requirements across their sites. 

Here’s a recent example from a reception refurbishment project.

Summary

A long-standing client, Collins Aerospace, required updated reception signage following a marginal rebrand, including the addition of RTX subtext to their existing identity.

The Client

Formerly known as HS Marston, Collins Aerospace is now part of RTX and is a global leader in aerospace and defence technologies. The organisation, which is headquartered in North Carolina, USA, also includes Goodrich as part of its wider group structure. 

Signs Now has supported Collins Aerospace and its predecessor businesses for over two decades, providing both internal and external signage solutions.

The Project

This particular project focused on the refurbishment of the site’s main reception area. The existing reception signage was removed by the client to make way for a refreshed installation that aligned with updated brand guidelines. 

As part of this partial rebrand, the new specification required the addition of RTX subtext beneath the main logo, along with a material finish that reflected the organisation’s established visual identity.

Signs Now manufactured and installed brushed stainless steel lettering which was mounted on stand-off fixings to create a clean and contemporary reception feature. 

The material choice was specified to align with Collins Aerospace branding guidelines and ensure a premium, durable finish suitable for a high-traffic corporate environment.

The project was delivered with a turnaround of approximately three to four weeks including fabrication, with installation completed in around half a day to minimise disruption on site.

Our Verdict

Kevin Jukes of Signs Now, who managed the project, said: “We’ve supported Collins Aerospace and HS Marston for over 20 years, so we understand the importance of maintaining brand consistency while adapting to even the smallest updates in their identity. 

“This project was a great example of that. The brushed stainless steel finish gave the reception area a modern and professional feel, and the installation was completed smoothly with minimal disruption. We’re really pleased to continue supporting their evolving signage needs across the site.”
