Proposals for three new industrial parks prompted the city of Ithaca to review its signage, not only for the parks, but for the rest of the city as well. City officials wanted something unique that would welcome visitors entering from each side of town. We were asked to incorporate the existing logo, but were given free rein on the color, shape and materials used for the signs.

Small, non-illuminated signs with custom fabricated aluminum cabinets and decorative aluminum tubing were developed for each entrance into the city. A rich color scheme of royal blue, gold metallic and black was chosen to convey an elegant charm.

Large, illuminated tenant signs were designed in the same style and color theme for each new industrial park. These signs were fabricated using standard aluminum extrusions with Panaflex faces and Lexan tenant panels.
