In August, City College
opened the doors to their fifth campus in Hollywood, Fla. For the college,
setting up a new branch wasn’t easy—in addition to recruiting students and
establishing programs, the school had to retain the logo and brand consistency
they had honed for decades. When it came to creating the Signs that would help
new students identify their new collegiate home, City College turned to the
company that worked hard to earn their business and that local professionals
recommended: Davie SIGNARAMA.
“The branding
part for City College is important, and our Sign was our way to show that we’re
here in the community,” said Lora James, Executive Director at City College,
whose branches include Fort Lauderdale, Gainesville, Hollywood, Miami and
Altamonte Springs. “The Sign helps students easily recognize our facility, find
us without frustration and identify with our existing campuses.”
Custom Signs and Much More
When it came to conceptualizing
the kind of Signs that would get City College noticed, Gina Leggiere, the owner
of Davie SIGNARAMA, said creating the Signs was a tall order—literally.
One of the Signs on the south side of the City College building was to be
placed four stories high, meaning considerations for recognizable color and
size had to be made. From there, other supporting Signage projects were
completed, including Door Graphics for the college’s offices.
“Davie
SIGNARAMA’s experience with school-based projects equipped us with the
expertise to produce Custom Signs for City College,” Leggiere said. “This
project created a Signature Sign for City College, one that everyone in the
area can come to recognize the college by.”
Hands-On Education
City College supported
a local business in Davie SIGNARAMA, and the college aims to support community
members at large. The Hollywood campus offers four degrees in the Business,
Allied Health (Medical Assisting and Medical Billing and Coding) and Emergency
Medical Services.
“Our philosophy
is to help students and give them an education that will help them achieve
their personal and professional goals,” James said. “We chose these degrees for
the Hollywood area because they are where our students can be fully trained, so
they can get jobs after they’ve completed their education.”
Just as City
College plans on adding new students to its programs, it will also add
additional Signage on the building and Entrance Monument, all thanks to Davie
SIGNARAMA. They’re a way to welcome students to a new future.
“Davie SIGNARAMA
was instrumental in making these Sign Projects happen,” James said. “We’re
dedicated to supporting community businesses and community members so everyone
can grow.”
