As Aaron Draplin has said: Everyone knows the heavy hitters of design. It’s the 9-5 guys with limited resources that design these gems shown above. Sometimes working with what you have can produce the best results.

The Atrium Medical Office Center was in need of new interior signage. The existing office signage was dated and falling apart. I wanted to design signage that was unique to that building as well as still fell inline with Riverside Medical Centers new architectural branding.

The office building is very open with a large lobby with the suite entrances in opposite directions of each other. Plus a long corridor hallway leading to additional suites. I designed the room numbers and ADA suite signs to be very noticeable from any point of the lobby. The existing suite signs had paper inserts for the the suite name and physician. This was something that the property owner was very clear that they did not want. I agreed. While the onsite insert is more cost effective it gives the sign and the suite a “cheap” feel. I designed stripes of painted acrylic to match the signs and held in place with magnetic pads. This will allow for easy change out if a suite were to move. The main directory is what I’m most proud of with this project. Not only doesn’t it work well with the building interior and fit with the rest of the signs, it was designed to be completely: Simple. There is nothing on the directory that doesn’t serve some purpose to helping direct patients where to go. This is a physical example of Holeshot’s simple design approach to signage. The main directory is the keystone to the new interior signage.

VERY PROUD JEEP OWNER

20120425-233457.jpg

I bought a Jeep. A Jeep Liberty to be exact and I’m super happy about it. Why? Because out of all the car brands Jeep just does it for me. I think it’s the history of the company and the symbol of American Manufacturing power or… “It’s just a Jeep thing.”

Either way I’m a very happy and it’ll fit perfectly in this work/lifestyle I’m living right now.

Special Thanks to sales rep. Mark A. and crew over at Bettenhausen Automotive. Simply the best car buying experience I’ve ever had! Big Thanks for this one!

The Martopia interior aluminum logo was CNC cut from 3/8″ thick brushed aluminum and mounted to the lobby wall with spacers. I opted for wider spacers to cast more a shadow on the clients unique textured wall. The new logo is a great addition to the existing branding displayed in the lobby and throughout the clients office.

Special Thanks to Sean O’Connor for the fantastic referral.

The Riverside Sleep Disorder Institute opened its new office at the recently completed new addition to the Bourbonnais Campus. Holeshot provided etched glass window file and vinyl graphics. Also provided was an ADA identifier sign for the exterior to help patients after hours. This project is an example of simple ways to display brand elements in office signage.
