College signage needs to connect the institution’s overall identity with individual buildings and departments. A campus gateway can establish arrival, but it cannot replace a readable building name. Plan a hierarchy that distinguishes the institution, the destination, and the room-level information instead of scaling one logo across every surface.
Think about prospective students, families, event visitors, and deliveries as separate journeys. People unfamiliar with campus need consistent destination names before they reach a reception desk. Department moves and donor acknowledgements also affect how easily a system can be updated, making a message schedule useful before fabrication begins.
Franklin’s historic downtown brings shops, restaurants, and professional services together around a walkable Main Street. A sign viewed between neighboring storefronts has a different job from one introducing a property across a parking area. Start the design conversation with the actual frontage: its windows, doors, brickwork, and the angle from which a first-time visitor sees the business name.

For college signs around Franklin’s historic Main Street, show the relationship between the public door and neighboring frontages. Share a campus map, building names, and any brand or donor-recognition standards.
Walk the approach before choosing the sign format. Bring one photograph from the visitor’s first decision point and another from directly outside the entrance. If a property has design criteria, include those documents with the artwork so the proposal responds to the building as well as the brand.
