All text on directional signs shall be set in Swiss 721 BT, unless otherwise specified.

Accepted specialized type styles used for identification and informational sign types aredefined in the Specialized Type Style portion of this document (See section 2.1.5).

Typefaces or weights not described above should not be used. Modification of lettershapes is prohibited unless specified in the graphic standards or on the sign type layout.

Condensed, extended, slanted, outlined or otherwise distorted type should not be used.

Unless otherwise indicated, all sign messages shall follow an approximate 5% kerninginside and 10% outside. In some circumstances, modification of spacing betweenindividual letter pairs may improve the appearance of the sign message. Samples ofmessages are required for all sign projects for review; and spacing recommendation shallbe made where they can be shown to be advantageous. In these instances, hand-kerningmay be required on internally illuminated signs to prevent "halation." Reducing normalletter or word spacing (e.g. to fit a lengthy message within a restricted area) shall beprohibited. Letter spacing should match the following:

This section defines a uniform hierarchy of messages and information to be usedthroughout the Boston-Logan International Airport (BOS) complex. By using theterminology set forth in this document, the designer shall be able to organizemessages into three succinct categories: Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary.

Directional messages are of great importance in the facility due to the fact that they are themain information source that enables passengers and visitors to choose the proper routeto a specific destination point. This process involves selecting the correct path to adestination point and determining at which point a change of direction is required. Properdirectional signing is necessary since the rapid movement of vehicles, visitors, employees,and passengers is essential for maximum utilization and efficiency of the facility.

Identification messages mark terminals, gates, ticketing, and baggage claim locations, aswell as, provide tenants’ leasing space within the BOS complex with proper publicexposure to their areas and other spaces governed by the airport authority.

.

Directional Messages

Identification Messages

Informational Messages

Regulatory/ Safety Messages

Temporary Messages

Informational messages typically provide specific and supplementary information aboutthe airport services and functions. Also there are orientational messages that are oftengraphic, such as maps, so that visitors can develop a sense of the airport layout and theirlocation within the airport.

Regulatory/safety messages relate to Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)requirements and recommendations as well as other federal, state, and city regulations. Ingeneral, these messages provide passengers with travel advice, warnings and legalrestrictions.

Temporary messages fall into a separate category of messages. Temporary signs shall beused on an interim basis while permanent signs are in the process of repair ormaintenance and as tentative signs while permanent signs are under construction.

Clear and concise information presented by Primary and Secondary signing systemsensures efficient passenger circulation. Tertiary signs must be coordinated with Primaryand Secondary signs and interior design elements. This category of signs shall bedistinguished from other signs by graphic methods.

This information shall be the largest and most visible information on each sign. Primaryinformation shall include:

This information supplements or reinforces information already conveyed by the primarymessages and signs listed above. It usually indicates the auxiliary services and supportfunctions of the facility. Secondary information is to include:

Tertiary information supplements both the primary and secondary messages and isusually intended to inform visitors of regulations and warnings. All of the regulatory/safety signs are generally considered to be tertiary. Tertiary information is to include:

It is important to understand that the same message may fall under a different categorydepending on its use. For example, a visitor on the roadway approaching the Terminalmay find the term “Parking” as the primary message. However, the same term may also befound by a visitor in the Ground Transportation area and be considered secondary.

In general, emphasis shall be placed on the reduction of signs and sign content wherepossible. Additionally, the sign system shall move from the general to the more specific, asa user traverses the ground transportation areas.

Figure 2.3.1 and 2.3.2 demonstrate the hierarchy in which the messages are organizedwhen signing for curbside areas within the facility. The message hierarchy is used to assistdesigners in grouping messages for directional , identification and information sign types.Primary messages should always be grouped with primary messages. If there is need for asecondary message on the same sign, its importance will always be secondary to allprimary messages. The designer may have to place the secondary message on asecondary sign type.

The arrow standards and applications portion of this document shall define the standardsfor arrow orientation, sizes, application and placement on directional signage at Boston-Logan International Airport (BOS).

Arrow symbols used as directional elements are more flexible and require less sign layoutspace than messages. Careful review of sign layouts must be done in order to produceproper proportioning between arrows, messages, symbols and sign panel dimensions(

The orientation and directional information that arrow symbols intend to convey is of equalimportance to the consistent use of the recommended single style arrow. The arroworientation to convey "straight ahead" is of particular interest. Either "up arrow" or the"down arrow" can be used for pedestrian specific traffic. However, Vehicular specifictraffic typically uses only the “down arrow” to convey “straight ahead” information.Once a method has been selected for the "straight ahead" arrow orientation, consistentapplication should be continued throughout the signage system. The following are a fewguidelines for the use of arrows:

The standard arrow can be rendered in eight (8) different orientations forpedestrian specific traffic and five (5) for vehicular specific traffic. No alternateorientations are acceptable, unless approved by Massport.Pedestrian Signs: Arrow orientation should follow the guidelines provided in thissection. Straight-ahead pedestrian movement should be indicated by upward-facing arrows, unless a downward-facing arrow can be shown to be clearlyadvantageous in a specific circumstance. Straight downward-facing arrows arenormally reserved to indicate movement to a lower levelVehicular Signs: Arrow orientation should follow the guidelines provided in thissection. Straight-ahead vehicular movement should be indicated by downwardfacing arrows, unless an upward facing arow can be shown to be clearlyadvantageous in a specific circumstance .
