Newly Completed Project

i just finished up a project for the Wing Luke Asian Museum in seattle. the project was design of exterior signage for a new building they just recently moved into. there were many different elements of the signage plan, but because of budget only the most important were installed.

this picture it shows the 3 major elements, a corner sign, main entrance sign, and an orange graphic that wraps the building to tie all the window fronts under one unifying graphic representative of the museum.

this is a view of the corner sign which also lights up. i'll post some night shots later.

this is the main entrance sign. the design had to change, putting the sign inside since there were some permitting issues, and mounting issues if it was exterior. one drawback is the window reflections.
