sign standards

Signs are used to visually communicate information.  They are highly visible features that should be attractive and compatible with their surroundings.  Careful consideration must be given to what a sign says, how it is said, its visual appearance and organization, its location and structural support system, and its relation to other signs within the installation.  Standardized signage systems facilitate movement, provide a sense of orientation, and reinforce standards of excellence.  Signage creates a unifying element throughout the installation that visually ties the installation themes together and builds a reference and continuity that translates into confidence and reassurance when traveling throughout the installation.
