Project Statement
To develop a comprehensive, functional, and distinct wayfinding
signage strategy that assists with navigation throughout
downtown Mount Prospect. The system will provide citizens
and visitors (motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists) with clear
directions to parking, points of interest, general business areas,
special events, and village services.

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS

Media ObjectivesDowntown Wayfinding Strategy - Design Concepts 7.15.15
Frutiger Next Pro - Regular
Avenir LT 45 Book
Font Options Overview
Develop an attractive, legible signage system
San Serif fonts are generally more suitable for signage applications
Need a font that is clear and does not distract the eye
Legibility is dependent on shape of lowercase letters
Larger x-heights allow for legibility at smaller sizes
Compliment existing use of Futura and Verdana within Village Signage & Icons
-
Media ObjectivesDowntown Wayfinding Strategy - Design Concepts 7.15.15
FrutigerNext Pro
Font: Option 01
Designer - Adrian Frutiger Foundry - Linotype Category - Humanist Sans-serifYear - 1975 (original), 2000 (redesign)
Originally design for the Charles de Gaulle Airport signage
Utilized in the signage system at the Amsterdam Airport Schiphol
Utilized in highway signage in Switzerland
Strong amount of character while retaining a good amount of legibility
Verdana, utilized in conjunction with village crest, is also Humanistic in nature
-
Media ObjectivesDowntown Wayfinding Strategy - Design Concepts 7.15.15
Strokes of the capital K align in the center of the letter
Vertical cutoffs at the ends of letters create height in the typeface.
Large Counters allow for strong distinction between lowercase characters ( a, e, o)
Square dots on lowercase i & j fit with the character of the Village
Subtle play in shape of font (ex. uppercase R) creates interest but retains legibility

Avenir LT 45 Book
Font: Option 02
Designer - Adrian Frutiger Foundry - Linotype Category - Geometric Sans-serifYear - 1988 (original), 2004 (redesign)
Avenir is the French word for future
Principal typeface for the corporate identities of Amsterdam and BBC Two
Considered by the designer to be one of his finest typefaces
Often a standard for a variety of wayfinding applications
Similarities to Futura, but with more consistency in the letter forms / sizes
-
Media ObjectivesDowntown Wayfinding Strategy - Design Concepts 7.15.15
Avenir: Anatomy Consistent thickness throughout line / letter strokes
Very strong feeling of geometric letter forms
Lower x-height provides more horizontal reading of words.
Circular dots on lowercase i & j create a friendly character
Design Influence by other geometric typefaces like Erbar and Futura

Media ObjectivesDowntown Wayfinding Strategy - Design Concepts 7.15.15
It is impossible to fully capture the culture of a place
in a sign. Rather than try to achieve this unattainable
task this system does the next best thing, sets up
a framework for the city that helps residents and
visitors alike truly experience the village.
Through the use of structural viewports, the signage
acts as both a canvas, showcasing the many events
and sites the village has to offer, and a frame,
strategically revealing the city to passers by and
inspires them to experience Mount Prospect.
System 01 - Viewports
-
Media ObjectivesDowntown Wayfinding Strategy - Design Concepts 7.15.15
System 01 - Sign StrategyGrid based structures create unified forms in signage architecture
Pictogram based vehicular wayfinding elements
Utilizes a more neutral color palette
Anchor parking wayfinding to bottom of wayfinding elements for consistency
Double-sided kiosks balance event info with directory / map based navigation tools
Pinpointing specific locations is critical
Kiosk have updatable panels with a standard frame condition
Blends nicely with the current downtown
Unified concept helps create a consistent feel for all the downtown
New monumental signage helps frame the edges of the village

System 02 - Crossroads
The Village of Mount Prospect is a unique city with an
atypical convergence of three major highways. This
mix of North / South, East / West and diagonal routes
creates a downtown truly defined by its boundaries.
Drawing inspiration from the intersections of these
roads, comes a signage system that finds flexibility in
not being perpendicular. A strategy consistent with
the master plan of the city, that helps define a sense of
convergence that can only be found in Mount Prospect.

System 02 - Sign StrategyUtilization of angular legs connects signage to village master plan

4.5 Height modulars for sign panels
15 degree and 30 degree sign cuts
Bright colors utilized throughout system, and help create strong visual appeal
Large placemaking panels to help define sub areas of village downtown
Ability to customize signage needs to specific locations
Efficiency within the installation / updatability of signage system
