Makes sense The name, logo, font, styles, etc. of the signs are left for the operator to decide (as well as the hotel stationery).

elusive markings Yes, following Verginia & Barend, I now think that it must be referring to where the builder is required to install the "lichtbakken". Although I am not 100% convinced yet. To be on the safe side, I think I am going to play it safe and translate it quite literally (and ask the client in a comment). If I hear from the client what the 'correct' answer is, I will surely report back here. Lianne, the context is a text which calls itself a 'gespecificeerd demarcatie overzicht' or 'demarcatielijst' (+- an '(Itemised) Building Specification') of a future hotel and how '[it] will be finished and delivered to the operator [...] as a [...] 3 star hotel.' This 'demarcatielijst' specifies what is and is not included in the 'basic scope of supply' or 'terms of delivery of the building', and goes on the distinguish 3 types of things: [1.] Things which are included in the basic scope of supply, i.e., the shell and structure of the hotel [2.] Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment (FF&E)(basic furnishing), and [3.] Operating Equipment (OE)(basic furnishing). [2]+[3] are NOT included in the basis scope of supply, and are 'to be installed by the Operator', and include such things as these ...markeringen

Agree with Barend Unless they are talking about (major) details of drawings, it would not make sense to list those items as markings rather than as actual signs.
The context is tourism/travel?

Barend van Zadelhoff Jul 22, 2010:

not sure Michael, I don't think it is about actual markings on the wall

the section starts with "Lichtbakken", then an enumeration follows that, I believe, specifies where the builder is required to install these "lichtbakken", it's about making agreements

so he is required to install "lichtbakken" on the roof, on the façade, at the entrance, etc

that is, these "markeringen" are "lichtbakken"

Hotel not finished yet.This is a 'demarcatielijst' Hmm, that is a very good question, because it is actually about a hotel that does not yet exist. So perhaps they do mean: actual markings on the walls, etc, where the illuminated signs (which are parts of the hotel building's 'inrichting' to be 'Aangebracht door de Exploitant') will be installed in the future. Thanks everyone!

Blueprint/plan or signage on finished hotel ? Markings on plan where illuminated/electric signage should go, or is this already for finished hotel?

Lianne van de Ven Jul 21, 2010:

legends? "illuminated sign legends" has 0 hits on google. Well, one, actually.

illuminated sign legends as simple as that (markings)
