Integrated signage for a cutting-edge healthcare facility
For AO Papardo in Messina—one of the leading hospital centers in Sicily—Ikon developed a comprehensive wayfinding and visual identity system, improving navigation for patients, visitors, and staff.
The project included:
- Exterior signage (both illuminated and non-illuminated), to clearly identify buildings and main entrances.
- Modular Cartesio signage, installed on each floor, with color codes and clear typography for immediate readability.
- 3D wall graphics, such as large floor numbers placed in stairwells and corridors to aid vertical orientation.
- Wall graphic decorations in the Pediatric Department waiting area, designed to create a welcoming and child-friendly atmosphere.
- Glass graphic decorations for interior spaces, blending aesthetics with function.
Objective: orientation and comfort
This project reflects a modern vision of public healthcare, where signage is not only functional but also welcoming and visually comforting. Every element is designed to be inclusive, easy to understand, and consistent with the hospital’s visual identity.
