Sign, Sign, Everywhere a Sign





Graphic Design Annual, 2008, p220
Eureka Tower, emeroystudio, signage

Here's an interesting use of graphic design This is a garage in a residential building called Eureka Tower. "From different viewpoints, the super-sized letterforms are perceived as either abstract distortions or literal directional information. When viewed in motion, the distorted words...snap into alignment...at key decision-making points." The client is in Singapore so I'm wondering if that's where this tower is. I love the bright bold colors. And by placing the words at angles, the signage is even more eye-catching and directional. If this is the garage, I wonder what the rest of the building looks like?
