Common use of Sign Area Clause in Contracts

Sign Area. Sign area is defined as the total area within regular geometric shapes enclosing the limits of lettering, logos or other figures of a sign, including any material or color forming an integral part of the sign or used to differentiate the sign from the background against which it is placed. Structural support members, frames or otherwise ancillary components bearing no copy are excluded from the sign area. Signs shall be sized to fit their context proportionately and aesthetically. In the case of double-sided signs when faces are of the same shape and dimensions, back-to-back, and parallel, such as Blade Signs only one face of each such sign shall count towards the Tenant’s total allowable sign area. The Tenant’s total allowable sign area shall be as defined in the Springfield Township Ordinance No. 4-2010, 508 Signs. Following are the criteria controlling each type of sign and limiting the sizes or areas of each type of sign. Note that certain types in the Optional Signs section below may not be limited in area and for may not be counted toward the Tenant’s total allowable sign area. Tenants are encouraged to take advantage of such unlimited or uncounted sign types to further enliven their storefronts. If in the Landlord’s opinion a proposed sign does not fit with the Project in any way, then the sign shall be adjusted accordingly. The sign criteria described herein does not constitute code or standards which would allow a Tenant to install and maintain a sign that meets the minimum criteria described, but which is objectionable to the Landlord.
