Branding Update

It’s been an excel-sheet filled month for Codesign this August, as the finalised Bill of Quantities (BoQ)for 14 toilet typologies, including the three added this month (2-seater enhanced layer, 4-seater enhanced layer (type-A) and 8-seater enhanced layer) have been compiled and shared with Anagram Architects to facilitate the tender process.

Generating this BoQ required us to map the various signages onto the spaces within each facility, with attention paid to the hierarchical value of each signage and the relevance of it’s message to that particular location.

This task, requiring a laborious poring over of measurements and figures, is just as banal as it sounds, so it is fortunate that we have had the further development of the Project Sammaan family of characters to liven things up!

Codesign is working with an illustrator to derive the family of characters who will people the signage in the facilities. Sketches of these characters had previously been shared in the early stages of their design, and have now been finalised. We are currently in the process of refining those sketches, as well as adapting the characters for the various poses that will be required on signage and other collateral for the facility.

Sammaan’s family of characters

The third workstream this month has been refining the identity for the toilet facilities. Codesign had previously shared directions for the logo, based on the brand values and naming finalised over the last few months. Those directions have been fleshed out into three distinct logo directions with accompanying visualisations. These are scheduled to be shared with the larger Project Sammaan team in the coming weeks.
