Rockin' the City with a Unified Look: Krasnodar's New Signage Rules
Companies in Krasnodar are given a three-month deadline to revise their signs due to city renovations.
The ruling authorities in Krasnodar's bustling heart have shaking things up with fresh regulations for signage, aiming to create a harmonious look for informational structures. Business owners buckle up, as you've got three to ninemonths to revamp your signs based on the neighborhood zone.
According to the fresh rules, the basic color palette - white, beige, grey, and black - takes the stage on information structures. Fancy hues can join the dance if you've got a special permit.
Foreign languages on your signs are out, except for authorized trademarks. Remember to keep height, placement, color scheme, and the no-base construction criteria in check.
"Bright signs might grab eyeballs, but let's not forget we're part of a larger society. The city's vibe matters more," points out restaurateur Ksenia Kurguzova.
Kurguzova considers this shift as a smart long-term investment for business owners. Her company has been debuting and rebranding cafes and restaurants nationwide for more than five years.
At a recent press conference, the city's chief architect, Ilya Chikaev, revealed an increase in the number of signage installation spots.
"Now businesses can flaunt their signs in even more locations. Not just the usual spots between the frieze, above the window, or entrance. We're talking about placement on canopy cornices, above basement levels, and between the first and ground floors," Chikaev clarifies.
Businesses in the city center and on major roads have three months to update their signs; rural areas get six months, whereas other districts have nine months. Already sign-savvy entrepreneurs are exempted from the update.
As reported by the "Kuban 24" online platform, the new signage regulations in Krasnodar will toe the line with the federal law on the state language.
