When it opened, Nauticus had no real wayfinding program. Disorientation affected visitor experience.

A full comprehensive wayfinding system helped make Nauticus revitalization a success.

WEBB TECHNOLOGIES

This design saved the customer $17,000.00 in fabrication costs.

Instead of fabricating the sign out of expensive bronze plating, the elements in the  logo were designed to be made like a surfboard. Carved out of polystyrene, and then overlaid with nylon mesh and resin, the exterior was then painted with an exterior metalized epoxy. Not only was the sign light and easy to mount, and lasted twenty years, it beat the original bronze estimate by $17,000.00. The client was quite pleased.
