ARB 2011 -115, Massage Envy Sign, Comments
Michael,
I have completed my review of your sign application for Massage Envy at Shopper's World and have identified the
following issues that will need to be addressed before I can administratively approve this application.
Sign Colors
Proposed colors for the channel letter face, trim cap /returns and the logo box are not identified on the drawing. Product
color IDs need to be on the drawing, ex. Pantone or vinyl numbers.
Raceway Color
Entrance Corridor guidelines require that the raceway be painted to match the surface to which it is attached. The sign
drawing needs to be revised to include the following note: "The sign raceway shall be painted to match the surface to
which it is attached to. "
Internal Illumination/ Bulb Type
The type of internal illumination, bulb type, for both the cabinet sign and channel letters was not indicated on the drawing.
The drawing needs to be revised to indicate the type proposed. Previous proposals for this same sign (see attached) called
for internal LED in the cabinet sign and internal neon in the channel letters. If LED is proposed, revise the sign drawing to
include the following note: "The level of illumination provided by the LED lights will not exceed the illumination
produced by a single stroke of 30 milliamp (ma) neon. "
Logo Cabinet /Opaque Background
Entrance Corridor Guidelines require an opaque background for cabinet signs. The original approval for this cabinet sign
(see attached) indicated an opaque background. The drawings needs to be revised to include the following note: "The
background of the cabinet sign shall be opaque; only the logo and text shall illuminate. "
Location Note /Sign Drawing
The photo rendering included in the application contains the note "Sign to be located in same location as prior sign ".
This is not correct. The same sign was approved in another location of the same shopping center. This note is not
necessary; please delete from rendering.
I have attached the previous approval letters for earlier reviews of this sign in the previous location in this shopping
center. These letters call out the approved criteria for the sign.
Please contact me should you have any questions or concerns; emailing the revised drawings is preferred.
