Thanks so much for reading. It's interesting that our designer said the very same thing: why not incorporate these concepts into the main "help help help" sign. Being somewhat stubborn, as you may have noticed, I felt the "help help help" sign gives us an identity and brand, so I didn't want to mess with it. Otherwise I'd be right there with you on modifying the main sign.Stacey Greenwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13467464122531644180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843453.post-19276389535624552062010-06-24T13:12:02.595-04:002010-06-24T13:12:02.595-04:00Thanks for all the comments!

However, with the label of library help and IT help it may dissuade the community patrons, parents, or general users from approaching. The words "Library Help" in your sign could be interpreted as only question related to our library are answered here.Emily Billingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00853693299083303420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843453.post-17140092692506494292010-06-23T09:03:49.395-04:002010-06-23T09:03:49.395-04:00Once again, your genius prevails!

I like the direction you are headed with this post. I was wondering though, if it might be better to add the new signage to the upper "help..." sign instead of the separate desks. That way folks wouldn't have to think about which line they should be standing in to get the answer to their question. Both desks would seem "open" to them that way. Adding the new signage to the original "help..." sign would let them know that they can get help with "all of the above" from either desk. It seems as if that was your original intent with the "help..." signage and this way, it would clarify what kind of help folks could get from the desks but not limit them to one desk/person or the other. As someone entering the profession, I appreciate your work with the blog and I've learned a lot already!dvankleecknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6843453.post-78546023296231167242010-06-22T15:53:29.077-04:002010-06-22T15:53:29.077-04:00The new iteration of signage offers clarity and di...The new iteration of signage offers clarity and direction without becoming too encumbered with unnecessary detail.
