Signage system
Signage and guidance systems help visitors and employees to find their way around the interior and exterior areas of Dürr sites. The columns and signs also represent the Dürr brand. The standardized use of the basic elements ensures that the corporate design can be recognized across all the sites.
NOTE
In 2021, the design of the signage system was given a face-lift. Please note that only one version and one set of materials should be used at each site. Existing systems should be extended in the same style. For new buildings or following extensive renovation work, we recommend upgrading to the latest version.
External signage
At larger Dürr sites, signs direct suppliers, visitors and employees to the delivery zone, the visitors’ parking spaces and the service center. All exterior signs are made from solid, weatherproof materials. The signs have frames that are at least 20 mm thick.
Variants of exterior signs
- Free-standing large monolith
- Free-standing small monolith
- Free-standing parking lot sign
- Wall-mounted direction signs
- Wall-mounted building signs
Design principles
As exterior signs have to be read quickly, they contain only the logo, the directional arrows and the names of the locations. For important buildings or rooms, icons in the Dürr style can be used (> Icons). The colors must be based on the Dürr corporate design colors (> Colors). The DIN Pro font must be used throughout (> Typography). The font sizes are guidelines and, if necessary, can be adapted to the local conditions. The following descriptions apply in modified form to all signs at Dürr sites.
