Queenstown Airport— Making the invisible visible

We created a unique, functional, and recognizable signage system that appeals to multiple audiences, emphasizing the concept of "Making the invisible visible." The system visualizes the invisible lines created when people travel from one place to another, using a flexible, modular, and scalable identity of three intuitive and friendly lines. We also designed a bespoke set of pictograms, which we super-sized to enhance the visitor experience.

“In like a pretzel, out like a noodle”. To emphasise the service for our clients, we’ve worked with the idea of a ‘before’ and an ‘after'. This idea reflects the concept of recovery. We evolved the word-mark and pictorial mark, playing with different thicknesses and illustrated characters respectively, in order to create a transformation from a compact and tight aspect to a loose and softer result.
