SIGNAGE CRITERIA This Criteria establishes the exterior sign program for the Tenants of the Rivers Bend Center, Ramsey, Minnesota. Described within is the individual variations allowed in Tenant signage which will preserve the crucial unifor- mity of the sign system which is well-designed and well-constructed. Moreover, this Criteria has been developed to insure the mutual benefits to Tenant and Landlord which result from documenting signage detail and from articulating the responsibilities of each with regard to a project's sign program -- a sign program which is designed to meet both economic and aesthetic needs. On the one hand, economics require that signage be func- tional and cost effective. Unnecessary costs to the Tenant should be avoided by guidelines which prevent the cost of removal of inappropriate signs and the duplicated cost of sign replacement. On the other hand, aesthetics require that signage complement the architecture of the complex and contribute to an environment which is attractive not only to customers but also to potential retail and office Tenants.
