Attachment D Key VA Signage Principles

General Guidelines:

• All tactile room number signs or other tactile room identification signs are required to meet ABA/ADA requirement for height and Braille text. 1-1/4” H raised text is required for ID room numbers with associated Braille. Raised lettering only applied as required, otherwise cut vinyl lettering is approved for added sign flexibility.

• If flag signs are used, make sure they have a minimum 84 inches of clearance from the bottom of the sign to the floor.

• Signs identifying electrical closets, mechanical rooms and telecommunication rooms may only consist of the room number, which should follow the master building room numbering system. No descriptive name or title may be used nor should they have a unique number system.

• Flag or overhead signs must not visually block EXIT signs and shall not block fire sprinkler spray patterns.

Message Content:

• Keep sign messages brief. Unnecessary information confuses the viewer. Typically, all signs, with the exception of directional signs, should convey no more than one name, title, concept, or thought.

• Use words which are familiar and comfortable to the viewer, and use the same words consistently throughout the sign program. *Incorporate forthcoming VA Service Line titles and acronyms immediately upon issuance.

• On directional and informational signs, provide only information necessary to make a decision at that particular location.

• Whenever possible, messages should be presented using positive information.

• On directional signs, do not anticipate decisions that can be made later. Unnecessary or premature information will confuse the reader.

• Messages placed on signs should be concise, preferably with no more than seven to ten words.

Message Layout:

• Use upper- and lower-case text whenever possible. Upper- and lower-case text is easier to read and is understood faster than text in all capital letters.

• Line spacing between two different messages should be greater than line spacing between lines of the same multi-line message group.

• Generally, sign text should be a minimum of 1/2” capital letter height. ABA/ADA tactile text is a minimum 5/8”.

• Text should not go right up to the edge of the sign.

• If a line of text needs to be reduced in order to fit on a sign, use only commonly understood abbreviations or reduce the size of the type for the entire message. DO NOT condense the type face.

• The most important message should appear as the first line of text. General Guidelines Message Content Message Layout Helpful Hints Dec. 2012, Page 9-3-2 Interior Signs.

• On wall mounted directional signs, the most important directional information should be at the top of the sign. Emergency Department to be a red background with white lettering sign and in first position.

• On a ceiling mounted directional sign, the most important directional information should be at the bottom of the sign. Ceiling mounted signs are prohibited as standard practice within VA San Diego Building #1.

Placement of Signs:

• Signs should, if at all possible, always be perpendicular to the intended viewer.

• Position signs with a clear line of sight from the viewing point to the sign face.

• Always evaluate the lighting at a sign’s location. Lighting conditions can have a significant effect on visibility, possibly making a particular location unsuitable.

• All signs should be placed in a location that will be clearly visible at all times.

• Signs may be installed on glass when there is no available wall surface. A blank glass back plate or film is necessary on the opposite side of the glass, exactly behind the sign being installed.
