CHARACTER OF EL SEGUNDO GATEWAY SIGN
Inspired by industrial design and materials, this abstract graphic gateway sign will be a stand -out statement piece in the landscape, drawing people in to take a closer look. The abstract
graphic images cut Into the steel or aluminum panels touch on many of the facets that come together to form the character of El Segundo. Inspiration was drawn from the past and
present in the ecology of place, Tongva artifacts, community and agriculture, refinery and aerospace industries, current technology, and the unknown future. Holes drilled in the sign
near the early aerospace symbols can be filled with rivets by community participants or city employees that wish to be involved with the sign construction. An interpretive sign can be
positioned near the gateway sign to provide passers-by with more information on the symbolism found in the sign and their significance to the City. Small white LED light strips can be
mounted on the back of the laser cut panels to provide a wash of bright light along the face of the wall. Linear, color -changing LED lights can then be mounted at the face of the sign to
create a wash of color for an exciting and dynamic look. The gateway plant palette can emphasize the beach -like feel utilizing decomposed granite surfacing combined with ornamental
grasses, Coastal Buckwheat, Silver Lupine and other drought tolerant planting as a support element for the sign without competing with it.

Inspired by the creative tourist industry marketing of the past and bold, clean, modern design, this graphic gateway sign will be a stand -out statement piece in the landscape
inviting visitors down the street and enticing them to explore all that the City of El Segundo has to offer. The decorative artwork within the lettering can provide motion, color,
and texture while visually depicting the character of El Segundo's beach city, natural habitat, refinery and aerospace industries, and the future technologies. The base can
have a wood -look boardwalk appeal surrounded by a swathe of decomposed granite "beach sand" that will allow for an up -close exploration of the artwork. Each recessed
letter can be lit with a while LED light strip embedded within its perimeter to accent the colorful artwork within each letter. Grasses, Coastal Buckwheat, Silver Lupine, and
other drought tolerant plantings can support the "beach" feel of the gateway and provide visual interest with color and texture without competing with the sign.
