Color-Coded Sign System Analysis Report

(Done by Labozan Associates team members while with Carter & Burgess, Inc.)

Boston Logan International Airport’s previous wayfinding signage utilized a color-coded system to identify its numerous Airport facilities. The airport wanted to ascertain the possibilities of changing the signage too include a “color-coded” European wayfinding/signage model. Joseph Labozan directed a feasibility study to compare, contrast, analyze and document Boston Logan’s sign system in relation with other major international airport’s color-coded sign systems.

Wayfinding and Signage Analysis Plan

(Done by Labozan Associates team members while with Carter & Burgess, Inc.)

Based on the recommendations made in the Wayfinding and Signage Analysis Plan, and through coordination with Airport staff and stakeholders, Joseph Labozan’s project team was tasked to create a new set of Signage Standards and Guidelines. These documents contain a more consistent set of color-coding graphic and sign family design standards, and are continually being applied to all of Boston Logan’s facilities Airport-wide.

Terminal E Signage Design

(Done by Labozan Associates team members while with Carter & Burgess, Inc.)

Skidmore Owings Merrill (SOM) coordinated with Joseph Labozan’s project team to apply the revised color-coded signage standards to Boston Logan’s Terminal E expansion project. The new signage standards were implemented into all new Terminal areas through coordination with Joseph’s project team, and supplied SOM with sign face layouts, construction documents/specifications, location plans, and message schedules.
