New layout for LSC signs start at writing center

The new sign above the writing center displays the latest color scheme for Lyndon State College.

"That's just us basically finishing up the basic signage on campus," said Keith Chamberlin, the director of communications and marketing. "That sign is subtly different from some of the others."

The new layout comes from a change in school color scheme the college made years ago. 

"When the signs were designed for the campus the entire suite of signage was designed the year before we changed the college's logo and color scheme," said Chamberlin. "The color schemes and the graphic dress of the signage on campus do not dovetail as neatly as we would like with the rest of the graphic (identification) for the college."

The previous scheme was three colors with a dark and light green background separated by a yellow border.  The new color scheme now has two colors with a dark green background and a thinner yellow border.  The rest of the layout is the same such as the same font and same use of space. 

"As we incorporate any new signage it would reflect this slightly new change," said Chamberlin.  "It's been a long time coming."

A sign currently in the works, which would use this new scheme, will be used to clear up confusion on how to get to the admissions office as well as ASAC 100.  Because of the layout of the new ASAC building and its connection to the Vail building, it can be puzzling where exactly Admissions is located.

 "There is a sign there that says third floor Vail and when you walk in there you probably would never think that you are going to the third floor," said Chamberlin.  "If I look out the window (of my office) I think it is the first floor, but if you are (at the ASAC entrance) you think it is the second floor."

This new sign should clear up the uncertainty by pointing up the stairs to another sign pointing toward Admissions eliminating the floor and building explanation.
