The brand,
built into space.
Four surfaces — supergraphic to screen. The brand as architecture: the wall you stand in front of, the room you book. Tap any card to open its spec.

05D01 Wall graphics WIP
Wall graphics turn the mark into architecture — a single supergraphic that owns a room. The power is in restraint: one element, cropped with confidence, never a collage of logos and slogans.
ELEMENTSupergraphic ³ SCALEWall-height MATERIALVinyl · paint PLACEFeature wall
D01.1 · THE SUPERGRAPHIC
The exponent, enormous.
The hero element is the mark or its ³ exponent at architectural size — a single form that fills a wall. Confidence comes from one big move, not many small ones.

SIZEFills the wall
COUNTOne per wall
COLOURTonal · paper · vermilion
D01.2 · SCALE & PLACEMENT
On the wall that matters.
Reserve supergraphics for feature walls people face — reception, stair cores, the end of a corridor. Keep them off cluttered walls where they fight with screens and shelving.
WALLSFeature only
HEIGHT60–100% wall
AVOIDCluttered walls
EYELINEAnchor to sightline
D01.3 · MATERIAL & APPLICATION
Painted, or cut.
Permanent walls are painted with masked stencils for crisp edges; flexible spaces use matte cut-vinyl. Both stay matte so the form reads, not the finish.

FLEXIBLECut vinyl · matte

D01.4 · CROP & BLEED
Crop with conviction.
Supergraphics can bleed off the wall edges — a deliberate crop reads as designed, a timid float reads as a mistake. Crop through the form, never leave a thin margin.

“At architectural scale, confidence is the whole design.”
05D02 Reception mark WIP
The reception mark is the brand made physical — a dimensional mark on the wall behind the desk. It has depth, it catches light, and it tells a visitor they’re in the right place before anyone says a word.
TYPEDimensional DEPTH20 mm MOUNTStud · flush LIGHTWash · halo
D02.1 · DIMENSIONAL MARK
Off the wall, literally.
The mark is cut from solid material and stood 20 mm proud of the wall, so it casts a real shadow. Brushed metal or painted MDF, the exponent in vermilion.
BUILDSolid letters
DEPTH20 mm proud
MATERIALMetal · MDF
³Vermilion
D02.2 · MOUNTING & DEPTH
Floating, or flush.
Stud mounts float the mark off the wall for a deeper shadow; flush mounts sit it tight for a cleaner look. Both use concealed fixings — no visible screws, ever.
STUDFloated · shadow
FLUSHTight · clean
FIXINGConcealed

D02.3 · LIGHTING
Lit to cast a shadow.
A warm wash from above gives the mark a halo and a crisp drop shadow. Avoid flat front light — it kills the dimensionality the whole piece exists for.

EFFECTHalo + shadow
AVOIDFlat front light
TEMP2700–3000K
D02.4 · FINISH & MATERIAL
Quiet materials.
Brushed ink-toned metal or matte-painted faces — never chrome or gloss. The reception mark should feel considered and permanent, not like signage you could peel off.

“The first wall a visitor sees should feel permanent.”
05D03 Room signage PLANNED
Room signage is the brand being quietly useful indoors — a consistent plate on every door, a naming system people remember, and a tie back to the event wayfinding kit.
PLATE200 × 90 mm NAMINGThemed system MOUNTWall · glass WAYFINDKit tie-in
D03.1 · DOOR PLATES
A consistent plate.
Every door gets the same 200 × 90 mm plate: small mark left, room name right, optional status below. One layout across the floor makes the building legible.
SIZE200 × 90 mm
MARKLeft · small
NAMEEB Garamond
STATUSOptional strip
D03.2 · ROOM NAMING
Names people remember.
Rooms follow one naming theme drawn from the brand world rather than numbers alone — memorable, and a quiet way to extend the story into the space.
THEMEBrand-world set
NUMBERSSecondary
CONSISTENTOne theme
SIGNName + small code
D03.3 · MOUNTING
Wall or glass.
Solid doors take a wall-mounted plate beside the handle; glass partitions use a frosted vinyl version that doubles as a manifestation marker for safety.
SOLIDBeside handle
GLASSFrosted vinyl
HEIGHT1500 mm centre
SAFETYGlass manifestation
D03.4 · WAYFINDING TIE-IN
Same family as the arrows.
Room plates share type, icons and grid with the event signage kit, so indoor and event wayfinding read as one system — not two that happen to share a logo.

Don't vary the plate — One layout across the floor.

Don't diverge from the kit — Share type and icons with wayfinding.
“A building reads as one brand when every door agrees.”
05D04 Screen wallpaper PLANNED
Idle screens around a building — lobby displays, meeting-room TVs, laptops — are free brand real estate. A small set of wallpapers and loops keeps them on-brand when no one’s driving them.
RATIOS16:9 · 9:16 USELoops · lock-screens MOTIONOptional FILESCurated set
D04.1 · RATIOS & SIZES
Every screen shape.
The set covers 16:9 displays, 9:16 portrait signage, and common laptop and phone sizes. Each crop keeps the mark in a safe zone clear of clocks and notches.

D04.2 · LOOPS VS STATIC
Still, or moving.
Lobby and signage screens run a slow loop; meeting rooms and laptops use a single still. The still is the default — motion is reserved for screens people don’t work on.

ROOMSSingle still
DEFAULTStatic
MOTIONNon-work screens
D04.3 · MOTION OPTION
Slow, and quiet.
Where motion is used it is slow and ambient — a drifting mark, a subtle gradient shift — never a looping animation that distracts a room. Ties to the motion system in 04.

The space, defined next.
Wall graphics and the reception mark are in design. Room signage and screen loops are scoped — the environment layer is the youngest cluster in print.
