At the Sign Design Society we welcome anyone involved with – or just passionate about – signs, wayfinding, environmental/experiential graphics, maps, and related fields (e.g. information design, product design, branding, ergonomics, architecture, lighting and psychology).
Memberships run for one year from the date you join the SDS. We have four types of SDS membership: corporate, individual, concessionary, and student.
We provide platforms for dialogue – whether you’re a designer, student, researcher, specifier, fabricator or a client. We also promote better understanding of the importance of signs and wayfinding in design professions, and in industry and education.
To do all this we depend on our members’ fees and engagement; every member counts, so please join us or renew your membership today.

Our membership plans
Corporate (UK and overseas) SDS membership
This membership is associated with a company or institution rather than a named individual.
This package will enable one person from your company to attend each SDS in-person event for free.
Annual corporate membership fee: £210
Concessionary SDS membership
For charities, not-for-profit organisations, graduates who have completed their undergraduate degree within the past two years, and seniors (aged 65+).
A concessionary subscription for new graduates and seniors is specific to the individual, whereas for charities it gives membership benefits flexibly to more than one person.
Annual concession membership fee: £80
Individual (UK and overseas) SDS membership
For anyone under the age of 65 who lives in the UK or overseas but isn’t a full-time undergraduate / college student.
Annual individual membership fee: £110
Student SDS membership
Being a part of the SDS community is a great introduction to an enormous variety of real-world projects that involve maps, signs and wayfinding. We can help connect you with professionals to discuss their experiences and to help you decide on a career path. You’ll also meet influencers and potential employers.
SDS student membership is for full-time undergraduates, postgraduates and college students in the UK or abroad. You will need to send proof that you are a student (e.g. a scan of your current student card and/or a letter from your institution) to our administrator: [email protected]
Annual student membership fee: £25
