Sign Standards

Minimize planning and maximize dollars through a sign standards program.

GNU Group develops comprehensive signage standards programs that help organizations create consistent, branded, and cost-effective signage across multiple locations and over time. We define sign types, design criteria, fabrication specifications, installation requirements, maintenance procedures, and procurement standards, giving teams a repeatable system for planning, purchasing, implementing, and maintaining signage.

Rather than treating each signage need as an individual project, a sign standards program creates a coordinated framework that protects brand consistency, improves quality, streamlines decision-making, and helps control long-term costs. The result is a scalable signage system that can be implemented efficiently across offices, campuses, facilities, and larger real estate portfolios.

Assessment

We evaluate your current situation, determine goals, identify obstacles, and develop strategies to overcome them.

Profile

We develop comprehensive sign standards to include a sign profile, use definition, design criteria, and documents to visually communicate your Sign System Profile.

Procurement

We help identify, qualify, and select an appropriate Procurement and Implementation Network.

Continuous Improvement

We document the planning, procurement and implementation procedure and put in place your continuous improvement program.

GNU Group has been, and continues to be, an instrumental partner for Intuitive. With their guidance and expertise, they helped author our global signage standards document that connects to Intuitive’s Brand, culture, and employee experience. More importantly, the professionalism and knowledge their team brings to the table is highly valued.
