QUALITY THROUGH EXPERIENCE
MIMAR PONTE MELLOR GRAPHIC DESIGNERS The Orange/Blue Line required an extremely quick turnaround which M I M A R P O N T E M E L LO R accommodated. We i n t ro d u c e d n ew c o n c e p t s i g n s w i t h destination information for elevators. We upgraded all signage for 16 stations from StadiumArmory to Crystal City. We coordinated old sign demolition and new sign construction and placement. We delivered temporary overs that integrate current system and signage to prepare passengers for new Silver Line. We completed all requested work on time and on budget including construction management.

The addition of the Silver Line to the Orange/Blue stations from Rosslyn station to Largo Town Center required additional design services to create methods not previously used to add a third destination on all signs. Additional wayfinding signs were developed to identify which streets are at each exit.
