About this file
This is a Facility Signage Guide for the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) that establishes standards for the development and implementation of comprehensive signage and wayfinding systems for both exterior and interior facility signage under Lease No. 57-36027-27-FA.
The guide requires all USDA interior facility signage designating permanent rooms or spaces to be ADA compliant per www.ADA.gov standards, and specifies that USDA facilities within the Washington, DC metropolitan area must comply with special DC Metro signage requirements through the Office of Operations (OAO). The guide mandates that signature lockups (combining the USDA Symbol and Department name) must be used on all Department facility signage, with the lockup positioned at the top above all other names to ensure maximum visibility. The official colors for the signature lockup are dark blue (PMS 288) and dark green (PMS 343), with black text for the Department name; when reproduced in one color, it shall be black or the most dominant color available, and when placed on a color background, it can be reproduced in black or white. The USDA Symbol must comprise at least 14% of signage height with a minimum of 0.75 inches, and clearance space equal to the width of the USDA Symbol's letter "A" must surround the signature lockup. The guide provides specific templates and proportions for free-standing signage, monumental signage, building-mounted signage, directional signage (with arrows placed outside the clearance space), office room signage, and building directories, with distinct requirements for USDA facilities versus non-USDA facilities. For non-USDA facilities, the Department name must be fully spelled out and positioned above the Agency name, and signature lockups are not required. Only signature lockups supplied by USDA's Office of Communications may be used, with no font substitutions or creation attempts permitted. The objective is not to replace current signs immediately but to ensure compliance when signs require replacement.
