Mumbai International & Domestic Airport
The Chatrapati Shivaji International and Domestic Airport terminal spanning over an area of (1A) area 200,000 sq. ft. and (2B & 2C) area 900,000 sq. ft. was one of the most exciting projects, allowing an appreciation of visual identity in Indian public environments.
When designing the signage, Information classification was planned as per traveler’s behavior, visual environment and architecture. Colors were selected, a combination of modern, innovative grey for utilities and vibrant blue for passenger flow keeping in mind the space and background, the amount of daylight let in the building, the lighting to ensure good readability, legibility and visibility of the signage
Directional Signage Boards were standardized in different categories and communication informative posters represented pictorially, using open English & Devnagari typefaces helping legibility. Along the lines of international guidelines, few pictograms were edited to suit the Indian needs and requirements. With an emphasis to be energy efficient due to abundance of natural light, non backlit signage structure and unit system was developed enabling low maintenance and quick installation for complete clarity.
