About the Solution
A long-time partner of ASI New York City, Rocco Piscatello of Piscatello Design Center, thoughtfully designed the signage package. After a bidding process, ASI won the project and worked with Rocco to value engineer select designs to meet the client’s budget without compromising the design integrity.
ASI implemented a robust signage package consisting of identity and wayfinding solutions. ASI utilized high-end materials like bronze plaques and bronze dimensional letters, as well as compression-molded acrylic and acrylic dimensional letters.
Overall, the new signage package supports Ansche Chesed Synagogue’s mission to serve as a spiritual, intellectual, and communal center for its members, fostering a sense of belonging and Jewish identity within the diverse landscape of New York City.
