F.  SIGNAGE AND GRAPHICS
   
Architectural graphics and ornamentation have been given a special priority throughout Gilbert Gateway Towne Center.  The design of the exterior signage should express both the Lessee's unique identity and the spirit of the Arizona outdoor lifestyle in the signage materials selections and craftsman-style fabrication.
     
    Lessees have the opportunity to place identity signage on multiple building facades fabricated from a number of materials types and styles, so long as they are unique and creative graphic expressions which compliment the building's exterior design.
     
    A copy of the shopping center sign criteria is attached.  In addition, Paul Bleier of Bleier Industries can provide advice for processing signs through the Town of Gilbert (all signage will require separate approvals and permits).

* KFM handles all sign standards (posts, signage, all).
