ParkLine Solutions by PICTOFORM shows you the way

ParkLine Entry or Exit Lane Signage

PICTOFORM, founded by Todd Pierce in 1983, provides expert wayfinding, signage, and brand identity design consulting. In 2006, PICTOFORM developed a parking industry first – a modular sign system for parking facilities. The ParkLine® Modular Sign System has been manufactured and installed in over 250 parking garages within the US and Canada. “Today we are pleased to pass the baton to another industry leader, Pacific Cascade Corporation, as exclusive manufacturers and distributors of the ParkLine® Modular Sign System!” states Pierce.

“A positive parking experience is dependent upon the ease by which a customer can navigate in, around, and out of a parking facility. And more. Once parked, the patron must be able to find the elevators and stairs, information about hours of operation, method of payment, pay station locations, etc. Simply stated, really good graphics and signage can make the parking experience – easy!”  —Todd Pierce

 
The ParkLine Sign System features a unique anodized aluminum sign rail and rubber panels made of 100% recycled car tires.

About Todd Pierce and PICTOFORM

Todd Pierce began his journey as a graphic designer and wayfinding specialist with Perkins&Will Architects in New York City. Noteworthy projects included the redesign of signage within the New York Subway system and multiple hospitals and institutions.

At the age of 22, Todd founded his own studio in New York and eventually relocated his company to Portland, OR and expanded operations with sign manufacturing in Vancouver, BC Canada.  Todd was the founding President of the Portland Chapter of the Graphic Artist Guild, later serving a stint on the National Board of Directors.

As PICTOFORM found a niche within the parking and transportation industry, Todd served on the Boards of PIPTA (Pacific Intermountain Parking & Transportation Association) and SWPTA (Southwest Parking & Transportation Association) where he also served a term as President. PICTOFORM is a member of the International Parking & Mobility Institute. Over the years, Pierce has designed the brand identities of over 25 municipal parking authorities throughout the US and Canada. PICTOFORM has had a hand in helping shape the brand identities for Portland’s SmartPark, Vancouver and Anchorage’s EasyPark, GoPark City in Utah, SFpark and BoulderPark in Colorado, to name just a few. And the ParkLine® Modular Sign System has been installed in each of the above municipal parking operations as well as within all thirteen (13) Arizona State University parking facilities, six (6) University of British Columbia parking garages, and Airport parking facilities of Vancouver International Airport and Edmonton International Airport in Canada. Todd Pierce is author of The International Pictograms Standard; the definitive collection of international symbols for use within the urban environment.
