The exterior and interior signage express a dynamic, creative spirit unique to the building's urban site and temporary function. Supergraphics painted on rooftop fixtures and on the building façade communicate a visual identity consistent with MoMA's home building in Manhattan. The large-scale logos make it easy for the visitor to locate MoMA QNS in the cityscape from a distance, especially important since Queens is not a traditional tourist destination, and most visitors approach via elevated subway train. For the interior sign system, the EGD consultants modified elements of the MoMA QNS brand graphics developed by Base Design, adjusting the proportions of the typefaces, pictograms, and other elements to work in larger sizes and on 3-D surfaces. For the large, open interior public spaces, identification and directional messages were silk-screened directly onto the walls, preserving the visual integrity of the space. To address the issue of wear, many of the hard-working interior signs were fabricated out of Corian®, which is strong enough to hold up to heavy visitor traffic and the urban environment.
