The #ColumbiaArtsDistrict gets new signage! New signs have been installed throughout the Columbia Arts District neighborhood, using two different design styles. Two 12-ft banner signs feature the district logo and a map of the District, incorporating the the first phase of wayfinding for the District. Six 8 ft logo signs are scattered throughout the District. Like the banner signs, the District logo shown on both sign styles is intended to establish a strong sense of place for residents and visitors. Kim Hayes and Joel Friddell with West 7th Co. (www.W7thCo.com) designed the signs, the same marketing and graphic design firm that assisted the city in designing the new mural wall at the intersection of N. Garden St./South Garden Street and Carmike Boulevard. #Arts4Columbia #MuletownExperience #ColumbiaDayTrip #VisitColumbiaTN #getartsy #experiencemaury #ColumbiaArtsandCulture #TNDowntowns (at City of Columbia Arts District)
