Shared equipment

Finding and returning equipment

Large words, pictograms and directional chevrons identify supplies and the places where shared equipment belongs. Return signs distinguish the ladder, cart, gallery paint and studio paint.

Typography & colour

A family of formats

The designs use yellow and violet across tall supply signs, compact landscape labels and a kitchen guide. Montserrat lettering, repeated symbols and consistent placement connect the different formats.
