Brand experience. Every touchpoint is an opportunity to communicate, engage and enhance the experience your customer has with your brand.
Axiom have worked on a wide variety of wayfinding and interpretive signage projects for culturally and historically significant sites and are familiar with the principles of the Burra Charter - specifically that “interpretation should enhance understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the site, and be culturally appropriate”.
We believe that signage should be more than just functional, that you should use their form to enhance the sense of place, to orient, guide and engage at multiple levels with people’s emotions and memory, thereby adding a valuable layer of meaning and memory to a place.
Axiom are experts in the development and application of brands, and we apply this methodology to every signage project we undertake, and therefore, do not view any element of a project in isolation. We commence every project by first defining a signage strategy to establish a common visual language, one that will enable the consistent presentation of information to ensure clarity of communication.
How colour, materials, typography, graphic elements and tone-of-voice will be applied to the supporting collateral should be considered when designing any signage in order to achieve a unified image - a ‘brand’ if you will - for the project and to ensure consistency for any future applications.
Successful wayfinding signage requires an approach that provides for maximum legibility and intuitive orientation whilst using the minimal amount of signs required to enable visitors to easily navigate to their destination.
We also advocate that interpretive content should be incorporated where possible into wayfinding signage. This not only minimises the amount of signage required, but also enables visitors to engage deeper with the site, enriching their visit and understanding of the sites they are navigating.
We design custom wayfinding signage solutions that help people identify, intuitively navigate and safely enjoy the places they visit.
We collaborate with towns and communities, hospitals, workplaces, museums, exhibitions and galleries to identify their needs, simplify the process and create unique and enduring signage solutions.
We help iconic tourism and cultural destinations enhance their visitor experience with carefully thought-out, quality interpretive signage design.
We’ve worked with museums, visitor centres, tourism groups, historical sites and communities to interpret environmental, cultural and heritage information and stories that attract visitors and create meaningful and engaging experiences.
We transform spaces into unique brand experiences to create and strengthen the connection between product, people or place.
Working closely with councils, businesses and communities, we great impactful temporary and permanent brand experiences to entice investment, increase tourism and inspire advocacy.
We design custom wayfinding, interpretive and branded experience solutions that help people navigate, understand and connect with the places they visit.
Axiom were commissioned to develop an integrated signage strategy for both wayfinding and internal signage to their purpose-built state-of-the-art medical research facility at the QEII Hospital campus.
Kings Park and Botanic Garden is visited by millions of people each year. With its remarkable expanses of unique bushland, tranquil parkland and botanic garden, the Park is the most popular visitor destination in Western Australia.
As part of our ongoing work with Fremantle Prison, we were instrumental in developing a comprehensive new world class visitor experience in the form of a permanent interpretive centre.
