Signage System For Edelhof School Centre

The Schulzentrum Edelhof presents itself as a modern campus with the structure of a large-scale agricultural yard. Close to the town of Zwettl it appears to be an independent self-supporting system — an independent galaxy with several different bright stars whose basic structure is given by a shared orientation around one point (the school centre). Galaxies are permanently moving — the contents evolve. Both the logo and the directional system describe this system while providing guides through the grounds. The impression of a lively growing area is created, planets can be added and included in the logo. The treatment of the natural setting and agriculture, people and animals is represented by the colours blue (consistency, endlessness) and green (growth, vitality). Parts of the logo in the directional system can be emphasised to provide better orientation.
The individual zones of the school can be given preferential treatment with coloured markings, achieving more independence themselves but without detaching themselves from the general CI of the school association.
Unfortunately the project could not be realised.
