Chicago Parks District
Chicago’s system of 552 urban parks, home to many cultural institutions and city landmarks, needed comprehensive signage for its vast acreage. Two Twelve created a handsome yet practical post and panel system that could be easily constructed and maintained while providing helpful information for park users. The design has a distinctive slanted graphic bar that pays homage to the shaped sign panels of the Park District's previous signage. The comprehensive signage standards manual fully documents the system's fabrication and implementation standards. The program was so well received that the City of Chicago and Mayor Daley subsequently hired Two Twelve to design signage guidelines for Chicago’s entire streetscape.
