ARM – San Jose

Working very closely with ARM corporate branding and the project architect, we designed a branding and wayfinding program for an existing and an expansion building at this North San Jose commercial site. Carefully designed symbology was used extensively to aid in simplifying sign messaging and lend design distinctiveness. Also included were WELL signs and an important part of ARM’s emphasis on promoting employee health.

Our scope included site wayfinding and building branding, and interior code and wayfinding sign programs.

HP – Palo Alto Headquarters Campus

We have done extensive work for HP including their new Global Interior Wayfinding and Sign Standards. The initial implementation of this standard is at their corporate headquarters in Palo Alto, California. The primary wayfinding challenge was navigating interior corridors connecting 6 buildings
on different levels. Our approach included color coding each building at portal walls and through primary wayfinding graphics. Overlaid patterning provided another level of visual energy.

Our scope included site and interior wayfinding sign programs.

Cisco – Multiple locations

As part of Cisco’s global rebranding effort, we were contracted to develop Cisco’s Global Sign Standards and assist them (along with Jones Lang LaSalle) in implementing this standard to their entire portfolio of properties including over 400 offices in 82 countries, encompassing over 35.8 million square feet of office space.

This sign standard included both identity and wayfinding sign types, designed to assist customers, the public and employees to navigate Cisco facilities from the properties’ surrounding area into the building lobbies. An extensive exterior wayfinding system was specially developed to assist with navigation through Cisco’s seven large campuses, including their headquarters San Jose campus, which includes 50 buildings and houses over 20,000 employees.
