Basic
Sign Types
Navigating
through a building involves a series of sign types, each leading the
user toward their eventual destination. By strategically choosing and
placing these sign types, information and direction are provided in
the most useful and timely manner. Identifying these sign types is the
first step in designing a sign program.
This example
floorplan illustrates the sign types in a typical lobby. The visitor
identifies the building by the 1) exterior building
identification/entry signage. After they enter the lobby, 2) logos,
flags and 3) concierge or security desk reinforce arrival. For
orientation, the visitor observes the 4) elevator floor range
numbers/lobby services directional, and the 5)lobby directory.
Destination signage directs the visitor to the 6) elevators for an
upper floor destination or 7) specialty signage identifying a lobby
tenant.
