The new Zoo sign is big and impactful. Its scale proudly announces that you have arrived. Installed in the new plaza entrance of the zoo, it is an integral part of the vision for an enhanced visitor entrance experience - one that welcomes zoo visitors and provides a safe and beautiful area for them to congregate.

The sign, which is inspired by the logo, brings the zoo presence out to the street and welcomes visitors in. It will become the backdrop for visitors’ photos, capturing memories for years to come and will be a landmark for the surrounding neighborhood.

The new sign was imagined and designed by Gecko Group, lighting provided by The Lighting Practice, landscaping by Synterra, LTD and fabrication by L&H Signs; all working for prime contractor, Pennoni Associates Inc. www.geckogroup.com 610 430 8633 | f
