Signage Guidelines: Graphic Standards 

Back to Signage Guidelines

 




     
Introduction 

Graphic Standards

Each building has its own look; architecture, materials, traffic flow, and tenant mix come together to create a unique space. The signs in your building should be designed and placed to complement your unique environment.

It is equally important, however, that a certain level of signage standardization is established. Unifying the sign program will create a recognizable “corporate look” and will facilitate easy signage changes.

Some examples given are from a “custom” sign application, using materials, colors and details to complement a Class A or historic building. These sign types may be modified to be applicable to other building environments, modifying them to a Basic or Basic + Option. For guidance in determining which option best suits your building, please refer to the Sign Program Overview in the introduction section.

These graphics standards will also help you make important decisions about typefaces, colors, messages, and other important considerations.
