Approximately one year ago, we were approached by a venerable, respected organization. They have a handsome, functional building designed and constructed in the 1970's. A name change was now in effect and a new corporate logo, font, and color were being introduced.

Although the existing signage program was well done, it was now in need of an update in content, style and function.

Our first step was to meet and tour the facility. The client had files for the new logos and information about the font and colors for us. After some discussion and shooting a series of photos, we agreed to draft a basic signage concept. It would illustrate the different sign types that we had discussed and offer several nice optional features.

The concept was accepted and we continued with a more detailed proposal. They assembled a schedule of the signs required, so we could determine a budget for the entire project. This was subsequently presented to the board and approved. A more detailed set of drawings and schedule of signs was then generated. From this, we were able to prepare a written proposal detailing costs, timeline and expectations of both parties.

The papers were signed, the deposit received and we continued with detailed shop drawings. The drawings, along with material samples, the agreement and other pertinent documentation were gathered into a portfolio binder.

These documents were reviewed by the client and changes were made as necessary. The shop drawings were signed off and production began.

Over a period of approximately 7 weeks, all the signage was completed and installed.

Actual production time was about 4 weeks. We had other projects on the go at the same time, so a lot of juggling of manpower was necessary, especially when it came time for installation.

The completed job was well received, and all parties were very pleased with the outcome.
