I recently came across another great resource for creating signage. The book is called, “The Wayfinding Handbook” by David Gibson. What makes it a great resource is its full coverage of the topic of signage. It provides concise guidance on fonts, text sizes, colors, icons, materials, and project management. Since it’s a new book (2009) it also has a ton of relevant examples.

I did find the text of the book to be rather wordy. The book also covers the project planning side of a signage project. While this is valuable for large signage projects incorporating multiple vendors it seems a little grand for most church sized projects.

In my opinion though the design inspiration from the pictures alone is worth the price of the book.
