| Design General Signage Standards |
 |
| Nomenclature |
|
The Signage System is designed
to accommodate simple
and straight-forward wording in order
to communicate effectively. Irrelevant verbiage
pollutes the signs and will
only serve to intimidate, confuse,
and alienate the viewer. To
maximize comprehension, the amount of copy on
a sign
must be kept to a minimum for quick reading.
Minimal nomenclature shall be used on the exterior signs. Only the building names shall be identified on the directional signs to eliminate any unnecessary confusion and clutter. College names are not considered relevant information on the directional signs, and therefore shall not be listed. Exterior building identification signs listing the departments within, tend to crowd the sign with information that could be better provided inside the building. Therefore, departments shall be identified on interior directories. Once concise wording is established it must be applied consistently to the various sign types throughout the Signage System. This consistency and economy of wording is important to the establishment for the Exterior Signage System. Where Rutgers Signage Standards are in conflict with the existing regulations, the following codes shall supersede: New Jersey Uniform Construction Code BOCA National Building Code ANSI A117.1-1986 |
