Brand Systems in Physical Space

01

Build the route before the wall

Start with arrival, orientation, confirmation and departure. The system should say what a person needs at each moment, then decide where colour, type, icon and material help.

This order protects the identity from becoming decoration that competes with wayfinding.

02

Repeat with discipline

Use a small set of substrates, finishes and colour relationships. Repetition is what turns separate signs into a brand environment, while contrast should signal a real change in function.
