Courtyard International Signage & Graphics - 16B
Signage & Graphics
A. Programming and Design Objectives

1. Graphics Program: A graphics program for the prototype
Courtyard International has been prepared for Marriott and is
available on request. Location and sizes are provided in the
Marriott Signage package.
Projects not in compliance with the prototype design require
the design team to develop a signage / graphics package
that complements and reinforces the hotel's architectural
and functional features to include the following:
• Exterior Identity Signage
• Directional and Information Graphics
2. Traffic Regulation Signage: See Module <1> - Site /
Building Exterior for related vehicle site traffic control
signage and graphics
3. Design Objectives:
• Compliance: Comply with the Marriott graphics
standards.
• Coordination: Ensure full coordination of graphics
elements with other related disciplines and system
equipment.
• Sign Locations: Develop sign locations and forms which
address the Signage and Graphics program, according
to the following outline for Assessment and Planning.
B. Assessment and Planning

1. Building: Review entire building and site (actual site or
architectural documents).
• Provide bi-lingual (English / host country) identifying
devices and graphics if required by law, custom or to
comply with the “star” rating of the designated hotel.
• Research government regulations and apply signage and
graphic requirements.
2. Entry Points: Determine site and building entry points.
• Evaluate primary and secondary approaches to the site
and building.
3. Scale: Determine overall scale of sign(s) according to sight
distances.
4. Vehicle / Pedestrians: Address needs of vehicles or
pedestrians as required.
• Provide for a safe anticipated entry maneuver (vehicular
or pedestrian maneuver).
• Study circulation patterns of guests, visitors and staff;
pedestrian or vehicular traffic.
• Clarify and reinforce primary circulation paths.
Design Standards - Copyright, Marriott International, Inc. January 2005 16B- 1

5. Circulation Intersections: Identify "decision points"

(intersection points along circulation path).
• Circulation route intersections in roadways, sidewalks
or interior walkways.
• Consider travel path, whether to turn left, right or
proceed straight ahead.
• Provide information that explains and clearly indicates
each possible choice.
• Limit information to essential elements only.
6. Destinations: Identify destination points (a guestroom,
meeting room, or restaurant).
• Guestrooms, restaurant, meeting room(s), exercise
room and the front desk or main lobby and other
facilities are typical destination points.
• Establish hierarchy for Destination Points.
• Provide lead-in information for each through
established decision points.
• Limit information to essential elements only.
7. Regulations: Determine necessary regulation
information.
• Implement required and customized signage in
compliance with Marriott accessibility requirements.
<GR>
8. Amenities: Include helpful guidelines for use of
amenities as required.
9. Information Hierarchy: Establish hierarchy for various
types of information.
• Plan and document sign locations.
• Determine sign scale and formats.
10. Guestroom Numbering: Establish a logical room
numbering system that is compatible with the Property
Management System. See Module <7A> for application.
11. Signage Manual: Consult the Marriott Brand Signage
Manual for signage colors, materials, fabrication and
sizes.
16B - 2 January 2005 Design Standards - Copyright, Marriott International, Inc.

C. Exterior Identity Signage

1. Primary Identification (Logo): Exterior site entrance signs.
2. Building Exterior: Building signs (channel letters) help
identify the building and site, considering the farthest sight
distances possible for a given property. Emphatically identify
the property location directly to the most prominent, well-
used, or highest visibility (airport, major roadway or walk-up
approach) line of sight available.
• Two, internally illuminated (long range) signs required
• Site drive-in roadway entrance
• Site walk-up entrance
• Building identification
• Building entrance identification
3. Secondary Identification: Smaller scale signs identify
secondary building and site entry points. Using a proper size
and logo layout, all other features of these signs are variable.
Example Diagrams: The following diagrams outline typical
sign configuration.

Note:
The “R” or registration
symbol is not to be used.
For more detailed
signage requirements,
see the Marriott Hotel
Signage Manual.

D. Directions – On Site
1. Traffic Regulation Signage: See Module <1> for vehicle
traffic control signage.
2. Pedestrian Identification and Directional Signs: Provide
decision point and destination point items only.
3. Example, Site Direction Signage: Use the following
diagram as a guide; larger or smaller characters and or
overall sign shape and size may vary because of other
considerations including available space and sight distances.
• Minimize information items; limit to three items whenever
possible.
• Scale for either vehicular or pedestrian use.
• Scale characters for intended use. See the following
diagram.
• Provide subordinate signs to associated primary and
secondary identification.
Following diagram is a guide; larger or smaller characters
and or overall sign shape and size may be necessary due to
other considerations including available space and sight
distances.
Depending on site conditions, a variety of roadside or

pedestrian sign panels may be required in order to
effectively direct visitors and guests through various hotel
property areas.

E. Entry Logos and Plaques

1. General: Strictly formal in nature, these signs identify
immediate points of entry and are most appropriate at
the primary entry point only. Other area entry points may
require formal or special treatment.
2. Sign Types: Cast or etched brass or bronze (require
continued upkeep and may not be appropriate at some
locations) that form part of perceived property image.
When brass and bronze are not used, provide protective
paint coatings.
F. Interior Signage & Graphics

1. Interior Facilities & Direction:
• Use decision point and destination points.
• Locate sign at decision or destination points only.
• Include frequently used facilities (destination points)
only.
• Provide for associations between destination points.
• Scale sign and message size according to intended
use.
• Arrange message items in logical order.
• Numbers follow ascending order (or according to
prevailing local custom).
• Alphabetize items of equal importance.
• Nearby destination points, first; further destination
points, last in order.
• Use repetition of messages.
• Select primary facilities and identify them repeatedly
within the graphics program, rather than to identify a
great number of varied facilities throughout the
program.

2. Primary Destination Points:

• Include primary noted features of a given hotel property.
• Establish hierarchy of destination points.
• Emphasize small quantity of primary destination point
repeatedly.
• Determine primary features according to intended
service of hotel property.
• Scale identification according to viewing distance.
• Alter scale for esthetic or operating requirements.
• Position identification to maximize viewing distance.
• Establish consistency for like-use destination points.
• Impose unique format for unique, differentiated,
destination points.
3. Secondary (Service or Amenity) Destination Points:
Include secondary features of a given hotel property.
• Telephones
• Rest rooms
• Gift or retail shops
• Message Desk
• Include essential services, consider guest needs and

comfort.
• Establish hierarchy of secondary destination points.

• Emphasize subordination to primary destination

points.
• Establish consistency for location of information.
4. Other Destinations:
• Where guests may need direction for assistance.
• Often these signs are helpful and would reinforce use
of an obvious facility, such as the Front Desk.
• Additionally, stairways, special entry areas, and
