EGD/XGD Placemaking Signage
A Complex Problem
The Banff Gondola in Banff National Park needed EGD/XGD Placemaking Signage to improve navigation and engagement for its diverse international visitors. The challenge was to incorporate environmental and experiential graphic designs that would resonate deeply with visitors, enhancing the unique gondola experience with impactful sensory and emotional elements.
A Simple Solution
In collaboration with the client and Evans Hunt, Hi Signs and Banff Sign Company developed a detailed wayfinding and placemaking signage system. The design included multilingual translations and pictograms, accommodating the cultural diversity of the audience. The project involved crafting and setting up all interior graphics from the base to the mountaintop interpretive centre, focusing on both informative and engaging elements.
The Result
The new EGD/XGD Placemaking Signage at the Banff Gondola transformed visitor interactions, providing clear directions and an enriched sensory experience from the ground to the peak. Strategic design choices in typography, colors, and textures ensured that the signage offered memorable and impactful interactions, greatly enhancing visitor satisfaction and streamlining their journey.
