The COVID-19 pandemic caused an increase of signages in different establishments to inform the public about updates in health protocols. These establishments include supermarkets where people buy their necessities. The study took place in the three supermarkets in Pampanga to identify the dominant language used in the posted signages, to see if the appropriate colors, symbols, and fonts were used, and to find out the respondents' attitudes towards the signs. The results showed that supermarket 1 had the greatest number of posted signages and the dominant language in all of the signs is English. In addition, it was shown that red stands out among the colors used in the signs as well as proper symbols and appropriate fonts were used. Furthermore, the attitudes of the respondents towards the signs show positive results in visibility and compliance rates except for informational signs where it was concluded that further improvement on its visibility was needed. It is recommended for business owners to increase the striking factors of the signs by adding colors, icons, images, or symbols to making them more visually appealing.
