First National Bank of Pennsylvania
Corporate Headquarters
Hermitage, PA
 
Project:

First National Bank of PA commissioned us to create a new multi-state, corporate wide signage program designed around a new logo they had adopted.

Our work:

Create a complete new signage package defining a specific “brand” recognizable in any location. The program consisted of hundreds of new signs, in optional sizes, for all applications, pylon signs, wall mount signs, channel letters, ATM / Drive-in lane indicators, directional, time / temperature units, and LED programmable units to name only a few. At the completion of the program, a comprehensive signage manual was presented to the bank for future adherence. In the state of Florida, additional engineering was applied to comply with a very stringent hurricane wind load requirement of 135 mph.

The bank required typical sign program structures, Pylon (illuminated), wall signs (illuminated), directional / entry signs (non-illuminated), and drive-in lane controllers (illuminated ATM Open / Closed). LED signage also fabricated by us.

Project time frame:

Initial changeover / 6 months We continue to provide signs to FNB / PA as required.

Hamot Medical Center
Erie, PA
19 facilities / NW PA
 
Project:

The hospital wanted to gain an organized understanding of their varied signage at numerous facilities and the condition of each. We proposed and they accepted a sign audit.

Our work:

The work performed for this audit is very similar to the initial stage of our sign consulting packages. We visited each of 19 campuses. We took photographs and notes on the condition of each sign, the position and readability of each sign for every location.

After in-house analysis, we created detailed audit sheets with sign type, format, frame size, post description, illumination, general condition,mounting type, paint condition, graphics, and permit sticker status were completed for every single sign. An audit of over 75 signs was performed, documented, converted to electronic files, and drawn to scale for future reference. In addition, for those facilities that had signs in poor condition, visibly poor placement or were new, we created designs that kept with the current design standards but offered a solution for each facility’s needs.

Project time frame:

2 months / sign audit
1 month / fabricate install suggested sign solutions
A full audit binder and CD were provided as a tangible result of the completion of the project.

2 campus locations
 
Project:

Similar to Edinboro University, in that the college was looking to upgrade from old wooden type signs, desiring a new visual image to compliment several newly constructed buildings.
