FAA Sign Branding v20210826.27.pdf

This document is a Brand Implementation Program Graphic Standards guide for the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) dated August 26, 2021, version 27. It establishes visual identity standards for wayfinding and visual environments across FAA facilities.

The guide specifies typeface requirements using Futura Medium Condensed BT for all text applications. Acrylic color standards vary by project location: HQ Federal Building 10A uses China Blue (302) for faces with Light Grey (305) accents and Black (401) backers; HQ Federal Building 10B specifies IPI Silver (993) faces with Charcoal Grey (307) accents and Black (401) backers; Regional Projects utilize IPI Silver (993) faces with Charcoal Grey (307) accents and Silver (304) backers. Vinyl finishes are standardized as black vinyl for all projects, with HQ Federal Buildings 10A and 10B requiring black vinyl backers and Regional Projects requiring metallic silver vinyl backers. Directional finishes for Sign Type C.6 only include brushed aluminum slatz and black side caps. The document includes four FAA logo variations: full color for reference, matte black vinyl for light wood doors, matte white vinyl for medium/dark wood doors, and etched film for glass doors. Mounting specifications address drywall surfaces (adhesive, stand-off, stud), glass surfaces (glass and aluminum mounting), and workstation structures (hook, panel/tile, and magnetic mounting options). The FAA is responsible for providing project-specific text to accompany the seal on signage as applicable.
