Introduction In the Spring of 2016 a new brand was created and implemented for The Univervisity of the West of England (UWE).
With the emergence of the new UWE brand, there was a need and opportunity to unify and clarify an integrated signage system that incorporates and is inline with the new brand ethos.
The following pages give an overview for the design and specification of the new UWE signage scheme.
This document gives details for interior and exterior signage in their respective sections, with a gallery of already produced signage examples at the back of this guideline.
When creating new signage, always check (see contact reference page) to see if there is an existing template available. This will help to achieve consistency of delivery across all of our signage.
New signage (interior or exterior) should not be commissioned without the approval from the UWE facilities department (see contact page for details).

Basic elements
Sign reference protocol and id stickers (asset tags)Every sign throughout each campus will have it’s own unique reference and asset tag.Shown here is the protocol that was used for generating signage references.
This should also be used when adding new signage for any part of a campus.
Asset tags are self adhesive stickers 50mm x 20mm and applied to a discreet edge or reverse of sign, whichever is more appropriate.
Asset tags will enable easy cross referencing when any changes/amends are required.

• Type 4 Campus map signs
• Type 5 Directory / floor plan signs

Butted construction as advised by manufacturer.
Addition of brace/support bar to support display panels on larger signs
Display panel

Option for making display panel removable/replaceable with clip fixing to rear of panel.
vinyl graphic
Single sheet vinyl graphic applied over display panel. Can be removed/updated when required.
Display method
Signs to be fixed to walls/doors/glazing (where appropriate). Also option of suspending double/single sided versions from ceiling.
