Project Assignment Shelby Township contracted PEA Group to develop municipal signage design guidelines.

A new design standard will improve consistency, clarity, and durability.

The study included the following sign types:

Welcome

Wayfinding

Park

PEA Group is collaborating with a design team composed of Shelby Township representatives to present, discuss, and finalize all preliminary design options. These guidelines provide design direction for all future sign replacements and proposed signage projects.

Design Directive Adhere to the Shelby Township branding guidelines.

Standardize sign messaging to ensure consistency and legibility.

The purpose of these Signage Guidelines is to provide consistent, coherent and comprehensive signage throughout Shelby Township with the goal of effectively meeting the following design criteria:

• Create a seamless experience for regular users and visitors with a unified wayfinding system.

• Structure information to keep individuals moving logically toward their target destination.

• Make key public destinations such as parks and fire stations visible to newcomers and residents.

• Create a signage plan that represents the unique history, culture, and character of Shelby Township.

• Effectively welcome both pedestrians and vehicle users to the municipal campus and assist them in locating their destination.

Notes These guidelines primarily address welcome, park, and fire station signage, as well as municipal campus vehicular and pedestrian wayfinding. Building, trail, and any vehicular or pedestrian signage outside of the municipal campus do not fall under these guidelines. All adherence to the new signage guidelines will be administered by Shelby Township.

The drawings in this document are considered design-intent and are not for construction.

Written dimensions on these drawings have precedence over scaled dimensions. When new signs are ordered, the sign contractor shall submit shop drawings for review. These shall include further development and engineering of the design-intent drawings. The sign contractor shall verify and be responsible for all dimensions and conditions on the job.

Shelby Township should be notified of any variations from the dimensions and conditions these drawings prior to the execution of work.

The sign contractor shall follow all township standard logos, fonts, and colors. The sign contractor shall also follow all state and township codes for sign compliance.
