The new signage system is a combination of clean and contemporary design with elements of neoclassical and art deco inspired themes. The project scope included both interior and exterior programming & design.

Exterior signage leads users to the facility from a several block radius. neXt branded the canopy structures and entrances to generate a consistent look and to create focal points that inform passengers. The color choices relate to both Amtrak and Metra, the major tenants of the building, and actually help give the old facility a cleaner and much less cluttered look. Union Station serves 50,000 commuters per day.
