A. Sign Design Elements

1. Primary Branding Components:
   • Logo Placement: Indicate where the petrol station logo will be placed (e.g., top center, corner).
   • Taglines and Messaging: Space for any taglines or short, impactful messaging (e.g., “24/7 Fuel Service”, “Clean & Efficient”).
   • Typography: Font selection for clear visibility, readability at long distances. Indicate font size and styles.
   • Color Palette: Specify brand colors for text, background, and accents. Consider visibility against various lighting conditions.
   • Iconography: Include space for symbols/icons (e.g., fuel icons, EV charging stations) that represent the petrol station’s services.
2. Graphic Design Concepts:
   • Visual Style: Define the overall style (modern, sleek, rustic, etc.) with room for mockups of design concepts.
   • Background Elements: Options for background design (e.g., gradient, solid color, nature imagery) to complement the station’s theme.
   • Imagery: Incorporate high-quality imagery for large format signs (e.g., fuel pumps, customer service visuals).
3. Dimensions and Scale:
   • Provide rough dimensions for the sign (height, width, and orientation).
   • Use a scaled grid to show the approximate size and placement of elements in relation to the sign size.
   • Highlight the viewable area from a distance (important for large-format signs).
4. Illumination:
   • Lighting Specifications: Indicate where lighting elements (neon, backlighting, LED) will be placed for visibility at night.
   • Suggest lighting options that align with the petrol station’s atmosphere (e.g., bright, welcoming, or energy-efficient).

B. Design Mockups & Variations

1. Concept A – Bold & Dynamic:
   • Primary color scheme: SayPro Red & White.
   • Large logo centered with tagline underneath.
   • Strong use of white space around the logo for visibility.
   • Optional lighting: Backlit logo with halo effect.
2. Concept B – Modern & Minimal:
   • Neutral background colors (e.g., dark gray) with contrasting elements in bright colors (e.g., yellow accents).
   • Simple, large typography for brand name and slogan.
   • Clean lines and minimal use of imagery for a professional look.
   • Backlighting and edge-lit signage for sleek appearance.
3. Concept C – Environmental & Green:
   • Earth-toned background (e.g., deep green or natural textures) to emphasize sustainability.
   • Icons or graphics related to eco-friendly services (e.g., EV charging stations).
   • Subtle light placement around key design elements.

C. Material & Texture Guidelines

• Primary Materials:
  • Aluminum or Steel: Lightweight, durable, and ideal for large signs exposed to the elements.
  • Acrylic or Polycarbonate: For a smooth, glossy finish and durability.
  • LED Panels: For illuminated sections, energy-efficient and bright.
  • Vinyl Wraps: For flexible, cost-effective design elements, such as promotional offers or temporary signage.
• Surface Texture Suggestions:
  • Matte Finish: For professional, no-glare look suitable for day and night visibility.
  • Glossy Finish: For high-contrast, vibrant visuals in high-traffic areas.

D. Branding Integration

• Ensure that the signage aligns with the overall SayPro branding, including:
  • Consistency with Station’s Interior Design: If the station has interior branding themes, ensure the sign elements match or complement those themes.
  • Alignment with Customer Experience Goals: The signage should provide clear, easy-to-read directions, promote safety, and enhance the customer experience.
