A Couple Vignelli Sign Exercises

Recommended Posts

Decided I'd try to follow Vignelli's color and spacing standards and whip up a couple signs for fun today. The rollsign is from an R46, which I'm hoping to get a genuine copy of if all goes well. The modular pieces are for the (CC), and the right-hand piece is a sign I've got in my collection. Very elegant way to provide information.

Thank you sir.

 

I realized I made a couple capitalization errors in the earlier sign, so here is a rectified version:

I think it's interesting to note the "s" and "c" letters of the actual sign, which differ from the font as prescribed. Clearly the sign shop had some irregularities in the version of Akzidenz it used.

IIRC they were made with stencils by hand so there you go...
