School Campus Signage Project Highlight: Cornerstone Preparatory

Posted by Bill Swanson on Fri, May 27, 2016 @ 11:00 AM

Cornerstone Preparatory Academy

The Cornerstone Preparatory Academy (CPA) is a unique educational University-Model® school, which is designed to bring together the best attributes of traditional public and private schools as well as independent study and integrate them into one model. They first opened their doors in August 2004. The school was so successful CPA found it needed a much larger space. They decided on a location off Hickory Grove Road in Acworth, Georgia. 

Signs and More, Inc. is a full-service custom sign, banner and vehicle graphics manufacturing company in metro Atlanta. “We can satisfy all indoor and outdoor signage needs.” That was never more accurate than on the CPA project.  After the architectural plans were finalized, our team at Signs and More, Inc. met with R Design Works of Kennesaw, GA and CCL Associates of Roswell, GA to review drawings, specs, logos, colors and material. Coming in on this project in the early stages was a real treat for us.  We embraced the craftsman style look and feel of this newly designed campus in our signs, coming in well under CPA’s signage budget.

Signs Atlanta | ADA Restroom Signs - Custom and Standard

Posted by Signs & More on Wed, Mar 14, 2012 @ 07:51 AM

Clear, easy to read/understand restroom signage helps people locate the restroom(s) and helps prevent people from being in an embarrassing situation. Most restroom signs convey simple images (pictograms), often in contrasting black and white, that convey the purpose or functionality of the restroom. For example, women are depicted in triangle shapes (imagery that most people associated with a skirt), men are depicted without this added triangle shape and children are often holding hands between a man and a woman. If the restroom is handicap equipped, the image of an individual sitting in a wheelchair is most common.
