Whether it\u2019s arrows taped on the floor of a grocery store, a poster on the laundromat window telling you to keep your mask on, or a flashing displays above the highway, signs are now a ubiquitous part of our \u201cnew normal.\u201d The message? Stay inside, wash your hands, wear a mask, and stay six feet apart.<\/p>\n

While signs and displays can help enforce social distancing, safety protocols, and inform which direction to walk or where to wait, they can also integrate technology to provide automated and contactless ways to gather and disseminate information such as occupancy<\/a>. Temperature check kiosks will also need to incorporate easy to understand signage as more companies continue to monitor employee’s temperatures. This pandemic has inevitably challenged us all to rethink how we occupy and move through space relative to others. These three firms are leading the way with innovative (and aesthetically pleasing) approaches to signage and wayfinding.<\/p>\n

Signs of the Times was designed by O+A graphic artists Elizabeth Vereker, Paulina McFarland, Chelsea Hedrick, Sarah Hotchin, and Minnee Pham. Sarah Hotchin says, \u201cIn this difficult time we all are facing, I am looking for all things positive. This is my way to convey in a serious message in a fun and joyful way!\u201d Posters by Elizabeth Vereker\/Courtesy Studio O+A<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

Since the beginning of the pandemic, San Francisco\u2013based studio Studio O+A<\/a>, backed by its own COVID task force<\/a>, has been leading discussions<\/a> on the new reality of the workplace. In a recent project, Signs of the Times<\/a>, graphic artists from O+A\u2019s Brand Studio have developed a series of posters that offer friendly and amusing reminders of what we\u2019ll need to keep in mind as we re-enter the office. Rather than saying \u201cMasks Required!\u201d O+A\u2019s signs say, \u201cChin up! (But Keep it Covered.)\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe idea is that we\u2019re all sharing this weird moment, so we might as well roll with it and have some fun with it,\u201d explains O+A\u2019s cofounder and principal Primo Orpilla. The posters are just one part of a forthcoming guide that the studio is creating for clients which includes detailed information on wayfinding, tips for re-entering the workplace, design implications of the pandemic\u2019s psychological components, as well as new products and technology in development.<\/p>\n

Orpilla believes that people are thrilled to be able to get back to the office and that it should be a joyful experience. \u201cOur signage reflects that,\u201d he says, \u201cand we expect this spirit to prevail beyond COVID. One thing a life-changing ordeal always does is make you appreciate anew what you took for granted. O+A is rethinking workplace design in the context of people happy being together again.\u201d<\/p>\n

This will carry over to the post-COVID era in a positive way,\u201d says William Harris, partner at hospitality firm, AvroKO. Courtesy Garrett Rowland<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
\n

Global hospitality design firm AvroKO<\/a> and their sister studio, creative agency Brand Bureau<\/a>, have recently issued a COVID-19 response proposal titled, \u201cReimagining Your Restaurant<\/a>.\u201d The 16 page document discusses strategies and design ideas geared toward hospitality spaces and builds on the firm\u2019s philosophy of Hospitable Thinking<\/a>. The proposal takes the form of a walk-through of a customer\u2019s journey through a restaurant\u2014from the welcome experience, to hand washing, to being seated, and dining. Taken as a whole, it highlights how AvroKO envisions safety as a top priority while also ensuring that the hospitality experience is still warm and inviting.<\/p>\n

The firm believes wayfinding should be intuitive and empowering, asserting it as a key component in eliminating confusion and anxiety, \u201ceven in spaces we used to know intimately,\u201d says Adam Farmerie, partner at AvroKO. Kristina O’Neal, another one of the firm\u2019s partners, believes this new attention to signs will certainly carry over to a post-COVID era: \u201cWe know wayfinding is a deeply instinctual process. Our subliminal minds need to understand sign \u2018signals\u2019 faster than our conscious brain, and we are rewiring for a new generation of signage awareness.\u201d Intuitive wayfinding helps eliminate corridor traffic and builds in more efficient queuing, the studio says, considerations that are valuable even when we aren\u2019t in the middle of a global health crisis.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe signage program for our Los Angeles office is intended to be clear and highly visible to ensure that everyone can follow social distancing guidelines and health protocols. We developed the wayfinding to seamlessly integrate into the space\u2019s new design, strengthen the character of the workplace environment, and support RIOS\u2019 brand identity,\u201d says Julien Harcc, studio director of graphics and branding at RIOS. Courtesy RIOS<\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>Los Angeles\u2013based multidisciplinary design firm RIOS<\/a>, like many others, was required to transition from its collaborative office to working from home in March. While the firm has sought to keep staff connected via virtual picnics and hangouts, its leaders are excited to safely welcome workers back to an office newly revamped with bold signage, temperature checks, and individual lockers. The new branding and graphic language emphasize the importance of maintaining an uplifting atmosphere despite the current predicament.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe elements bring joy and reinforce the workplace as a healthy, safe, and\u00a0beautiful place to be,\u201d Andy Lantz, creative director at RIOS, explains. \u201cWe utilize the space to safely come together to collaborate and we ensure no one is\u00a0left behind by integrating technology for virtual participants in our solutions.\u201d The space incorporates the expected persistence of working from home, meaning that each employee books their desk ahead of time and has an assigned locker to store their belongings.<\/p>\n
