A graphic signature may be fabricated as individual elements and applied to any structurally sound surface, such as a building wall. The individual elements may be of plastic-faced metal container or metal channel construction. The metal channel construction may be especially applicable for small sizes and interior signs, such as signs for lobbies.

Generally, this sign is used as a supporting sign along with a primary facility identification sign. Nevertheless, individual elements may be used as the primary facility identification sign at locations where a pylon, monument, pole, or ground sign cannot be installed.

Graphic Signatures

Depending on the space available for the sign and the letter size required to maintain legibility at the average viewing distance, any of the graphic signature arrangements described in the general guidelines on page 02 may be used. Examples of typical signatures are shown at the right.

Monogram Alone

At facilities where several components or affiliates are located, at sites where the sign is visible from such a distance that the signature typography would be illegible even at its maximum size,

or when the sign is used as a supporting sign, the Monogram may be used alone.

Typography

For information on signature typography and other typography, see the general guidelines on page 02.

Color

To ensure legibility of the graphic signature, white is used in the letters/curlicues of the signature Monogram and on the face of all typography for all plastic-faced elements. Metal elements may also be aluminum or steel-colored (not brass or bronze). Dark grey or black is used on all returns. The Laser Line appears in Laser Red, with red neon used whenever the sign is illuminated. The Monogram for plastic-faced elements has a black field to contrast with the white letters. The Monogram for metal elements uses the building façade as the field, as shown in the drawing.

Dynamic Monogram

The Dynamic Monogram should not be fabricated as an individual element (or elements). As an option, any version of the Dynamic Monogram may be painted on a structurally sound surface, such as a building wall, and reproduced according to the guidelines in document 134, Dynamic Monogram.

Lighting

All elements may be internally illuminated or nonilluminated.

For more information, see document 285, Facility Signs Engineering Drawings, pages 15.01 to 15.35.

The roof sign is a custom-built sign, specially designed for use on top of a specific building.

Generally, this sign is used as a supporting sign along with a primary facility identification sign. Nevertheless, the roof sign may be used as a primary facility identification sign at locations where a pylon, monument, pole, or ground sign cannot be installed.

When the sign is used as the primary facility identification sign, it should be illuminated. When used as a supporting sign, it may be nonilluminated.

Typography

For information on signature typography and other typography, see the general guidelines on page 02.

Color

To ensure legibility of the graphic signature under adverse viewing conditions, black is used in the signature Monogram and typography. As usual, in the graphic signature Laser Red is used only in the Laser Line.

Dynamic Monogram

The Dynamic Monogram is not used on roof signs.

Lighting

The entire sign face may be

•internally illuminated

(with the face of the sign white)

•externally illuminated or nonilluminated (with the face of the sign very light grey)

Note: Because the roof sign is custom-designed, engineering drawings for it are not available.
