This Texas-sized resort is a destination for leisure-seekers and business travelers alike, and needed a bold signage and wayfinding system to help guests make their way across the sprawling campus. That was where Lorenc+Yoo came in.<\/p>\n<p>A short drive from Dallas, the resort boasts a distinct ranch-like ambiance. The landmark entrance looks like it came right out of a dude ranch, with light-colored stacked stone, colonial-era lamps and metalwork. Even the resort&#8217;s logo recalls the design of a cattle-brand sitting on top of a wooden archway. Desert flowers and plants surround the gateway, adding a bit of color to the otherwise arid aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-871\" style=\"margin-right: 5px;\" title=\"GaylordTexan2\" src=\"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/GaylordTexan2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"133\" height=\"121\" \/>Both the star and the sun play major roles in resort&#8217;s design. The Lone Star Atrium features four and a half acres of gardens and walkways and is topped with a giant star that is visible to planes overhead. Reiterating the sun-like symbols in the resort&#8217;s logo, LYD incorporated solar motifs in everything from parking lot guide signs to guest room labels. The sun and stars are a constant reminder of the natural character of the luxurious resort.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-873 alignright\" style=\"margin-left: 5px;\" title=\"GaylordTexan4\" src=\"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/GaylordTexan4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"242\" height=\"175\" \/>The biggest challenge on this project was devising a wayfinding system to help guests find their way around the campus. Applying its knowledge of resort traffic flows and other techniques, LYD created a signage system that uses clear typographic symbols and colors to communicate place and destination. Metal is featured heavily in most signs, recalling the high-quality ranch ambiance.<\/p>\n<p>Gaylord Texan is a luxury destination that respects its surroundings. For many, it is the gateway to Texas, and, thanks in part to the work of Lorenc+Yoo, it is the perfect place to begin a southwestern adventure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Deep in the heart of Texas, the 150-acre Gaylord Texan  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":872,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-870","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=870"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":874,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/870\/revisions\/874"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/872"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=870"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=870"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lorencdesign.com\/zh\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=870"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
