Wayfinding Signage Guidelines

A comprehensive Wayfinding Signage Program was developed for the City of Long Beach including signage for major gateway entries, parking, and coastal access in Long Beach. The City conducted extensive outreach including a Wayfinding Signage Program Survey, and a series of community workshops for the public to provide input on the factors to consider in designing new signs to be installed in the public realm. These new signs reflect the community's values and identity, and results in cohesive and functional signage for gateway entries to the City and coastal access, as well as public parking in Downtown.

In December 2015, the City issued a request for proposals and selected Selbert Perkins Design as the consultant to create design guidelines that will be used to implement a uniform look and theme for new signs in the public realm. Below are links to Wayfinding and Signage types.
