Research Park Plaza
Austin
Research Park Plaza V, buildings 1 & 2 are class A, 4 story, 173,000 square feet, office buildings. The property management wanted a facelift of all interior and exterior signage and graphics. The work was produced in 2018 working with Asterisk Design.
The primary monument sign for the entire property. It needed to be bold and visual from the roadway. The vertical slats with different colored fronts versus returns activates the sign as you drive by. The vertical slats essentially change color as you see the structures from different angles. The colorful patterned blue main structure flows down into the activated vertical slats and then sweeps across to the right to reveal the tenants and then the eye carries on toward the building. Telling a story to the eye is all part of the experience.
The secondary entry monuments were building off the initial primary monument design in a scaled down form. The linework

Site vehicular directions to help visitors find their way around. All signage on site is meant to belong to an overarching design approach. Some explore the pattern more, some the color blocking more and some the typography, but all belong to one cohesive design voice.
The pattern was minimized ever further for application to the glass distraction strips that help prevent walking into large glass panels.
These garage level numbers were put on hold. This is another interpretation of the pattern design used on the monuments throughout the site. Another instance of developing a signage system.
