Sign Details

Now that you understand the Unified Signage process, how standardization impacts the sign design, and the important groupings of signs in your building, it is time to get down to details. Click on the sign types at the right for illustrations of individual sign types, their uses, typical sizes, applications and message layouts. Click on Terminology near the top of the list for common sign terms found in these details, used by sign designers and fabricators.

Remember, these illustrations are not meant to be blueprints for fabrication. Instead, these details should help you determine how signage changes and upgrades can make a better first - and lasting- impression for your building.
