Introduction In the Spring of 2016 a new brand was created and implemented for The Univervisity of the West of England (UWE).

With the emergence of the new UWE brand, there was a need and opportunity to unify and clarify an integrated signage system that incorporates and is inline with the new brand ethos.

The following pages give an overview for the design and specification of the new UWE signage scheme.

This document gives details for interior and exterior signage in their respective sections, with a gallery of already produced signage examples at the back of this guideline.

When creating new signage, always check (see contact reference page) to see if there is an existing template available. This will help to achieve consistency of delivery across all of our signage.

New signage (interior or exterior) should not be commissioned without the approval from the UWE facilities department (see contact page for details).

UWE LogoIn almost all instances of signage (external and internal) the UWE logo appears at the top, either centred or ranged right and set onto a grey background.

To ensure that you use the correct version of the UWE logo, refer to the UWE brand guidelines.

For specific sizes and placement, please see the relevant pages that follow for further information. Frenchay

Basic elements

Sign reference protocol and id stickers (asset tags)Every sign throughout each campus will have it’s own unique reference and asset tag.Shown here is the protocol that was used for generating signage references.

This should also be used when adding new signage for any part of a campus.

Asset tags are self adhesive stickers 50mm x 20mm and applied to a discreet edge or reverse of sign, whichever is more appropriate.

Asset tags will enable easy cross referencing when any changes/amends are required.

Sign construction principleShown opposite is a suggested principle of construction that minimises use of materials, keeping weight of signs to a minimum. Details of fixing/bonding etc ... to be specified by manufacturer.

Graphic information is applied as a single vinyl element and can be removed/updated as required.

All signs to have an identification number (sign reference) sticker applied to the top or bottom edge, depending on the hanging height of sign and applied to the most discreet edge.

This method of construction would apply to the following types of sign:

• Type 2 Destination signs

• Type 3 Direction signs

• Type 4 Campus map signs

• Type 5 Directory / floor plan signs

Frame material

Machined and finished, aluminium or sprayed silver resin frame sections.

35mm radiused upper and lower corners.

Butted construction as advised by manufacturer.

Addition of brace/support bar to support display panels on larger signs

Display panel

White opalescent acrylic panel (material to be confirmed) with opaque white backing and vinyl sign graphics affixed to front face.

Option for making display panel removable/replaceable with clip fixing to rear of panel.

vinyl graphic

Single sheet vinyl graphic applied over display panel. Can be removed/updated when required.

Display method

Signs to be fixed to walls/doors/glazing (where appropriate). Also option of suspending double/single sided versions from ceiling.

Constructed sign

20mm frame sections

6mm frame edge to front elevation

Frame dimensions

Standard width of frame is 600mm. This can vary dependant on sign requirements
