key questions: What is the goal of wayfinding signs? #edc1020 samples from Foxboro, Amherst, Walk Boston Worcester Districting (i.e. sense of arrival) (Worcester also incorporated local artists works)
Commonwealth of MA branding guide is an example of the thoroughness of detail, note every company has (or should have) a branding guide, Dunkin and Honey Dew for example - #edc1020 from personal experience I know Fidelity and John Hancock go to this level of detail
Example of Ware with a complete branding package as well as business development, example of Boston visioning campaign. What should Franklin be in 2028? #edc1020
