GE - Billy Blue Communication Design

The standard directional sign provides
•a visual complement to each of the primary and
supporting GE facility signs
• enough space to accommodate a typical amount
of directional information
Depending on the amount of information
required, three sizes may be used: 2'8"x 4'0",
4'0"x 6'0", and 6'0"x 9'0".
A directional sign should be placed at any point
along a traffic route leading around or through
a GE facility where a decision to proceed in
a different direction is required. Generally,
the sign should be placed at or just preceding
the decision point, and it should be installed
perpendicular to the flow of traffic.
Note: This sign may also be used without arrows
to identify a portion of a facility, such as a building,
entrance, area, or parking lot.
Graphic Signature
Because a directional sign is used in addition
to one or more primary signs and because of the
limited space on the sign, a graphic signature is
not used. Nevertheless, the signature Monogram
and the Laser Line are used, as shown in the
drawing.
Typography
Univers 65 is used for all typography on the
directional sign.
Color
To ensure legibility under adverse viewing conditions,
black is used in the signature Monogram
and all typography. As usual, Laser Red is used
only in the Laser Line.
Dynamic Monogram
The Dynamic Monogram is not used on the
directional sign.
Lighting
Generally, directional signs are not illuminated;
the letters, Monogram, and Laser Line are made
of reflective vinyl. If site conditions require
illumination, the sign may be externally lighted.
