About this file
This document is a Vet Center External Signage Guide that provides comprehensive standards and specifications for exterior signage at Vet Center facilities. The guide details multiple signage applications, including channel letters on raceway, lightbox and multi-tenant signs, single tenant monument and pylon signs, restrictive tenant panel signs, exterior panel signs, and door decal signage. Each signage type has specific color requirements using Pantone colors (light blue 7461C, dark blue 647C, and red 1797C), detailed build specifications, and strict guidelines for logo placement, sizing, and usage.
The document mandates that all exterior sign applications must comply with the outlined standards without exception, with VA approval required for all signage design schematics prior to fabrication and installation. The guide covers various scenarios where Vet Center branding might be displayed, providing flexible but controlled design options for different architectural and spatial constraints. Key requirements include using pigmented or printed translucent vinyl, maintaining specific color specifications, ensuring legibility from main serving roads, and complying with local municipality codes and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) where applicable.

When there is nothing but a solid, non-illuminated panel to use (common in office complexes, with multi-tenant panels) the words “Vet Center” shall be used in the appropriate color and font for that sign. Wherever possible, the logo shall be shown. When the logo cannot be used, the words “Vet Center” shall be used.
