Project briefTo develop a way finding solution and an internal signage system for the new RasGas headquarters in West Bay. Our team from Graphic Design Studio will develop a way-finding strategy that reflects the goal of the company and sustain the company’s identity system. We will build a system that is easy to understand, direct, legible, flexible and consistent.
RasGas ProfileRasGas Company Limited (RasGas) is a Qatari Joint Stock Company established in 2001. Their responsibility for the welfare of the State of Qatar led them to develop a environmentally friendly hydrocarbons. They value customer satisfaction and hence deliver safe, reliable products.

The New RasGas headquarters is located in West Bay, along the Corniche in down- town Qatar. It is a 57- storey building, on a hexagonal floor plan. It faces in three different directions: the desert, Corniche and the West Bay.

Our observation and analysis of the current RasGas Headquarter
what worksFlexiblity of sign for name, position and department

Repetition of logo in pattern and signage system. Inconsistency in system.Lacks heirarchy in naming system. Signage color palette on executive floor and typical floor blends with the color palette of the walls.Icons are literal and lacks clarity.
What we observed at the existing headquarters
Our analysis

Repetitive use of the logo forming a pattern.This help us understand to create a contrast, so that it does not blend with the existing pattern.
Expensive copper material used. Strips that runs around for wayfinding: yellow, blue, red.We incorporated this aspect of colored strip for way finding in our signage system.
Site visit / research at new RasGas building
What we observed: The use of materials such as copper for strips.The use of patterns on glass background.The use of neutral colors for the interiors such as grey and brown. While, the pattern is red.The navigation is circular because the offices are on an hexagonal floor plan.The distance between the elevator and the wall is approximately three meters.The location of the floor identifica-tion sign is restricted to a panel on the glass wall.

Our observation lead us to develop a design strategy, which helped us address the user requirements based on their daily activities in the space. The development of the signage system will respect the existing way-finding strip system developed by RasGas. This will produce a cohesive navigation experience for the users. The design will reflect the company’s vision of an innovative working space, where employees can focus, learn, socialize and collaborate.

Conceptual direction
Sadu: 1. different elements coming together2. cultural context3. simple, linear
Concept and Inspiration
The Sadu is a traditional Qatari seating area. It is an area where people gather to socialize and share ideas with family, guests and other community members. We have linked this idea of “Sadu” to the community at RasGas. Furthermore, the different elements create patterns in the Sadu textile. This conveys the idea of collboration through the diversity of employees at RasGas.
The Sadu

Option 1: Color used to distinguish each group. Color background for each direction. Signage design based on a grid inspired from Sadu. Clients' Comments: It is too colorful and it crashes with the back-drop pattern in the interiors of RasGas.
Design Development
Option 2: Pattern used to distinguish each group.These were abstracted from the context of Qatar.Long colored strips used for each direction. Signage design based on a linear grid. Clients' Comments: Patterns are not relevant to the group. Takes longer to get an approval from adminstration.
Option 3: Signage design based on a modular grid. Clients' Comments:An extra wall for signage is an obstruction for the seating space near the elevator. Signage design similar to Ras Laffan signage.

Clients' comments:In our signage design development, we learnt that the hierarchy of floor and office numbering is important.

1. It should not be too colorful. Clarity and type legibility is important.
2. It should not be too complicated for flexibility reasons. Its important to be cost effective.
3. Consideration of the existing patterns in the space. This is to avoid conflict between signage and wall patterns.
4. Signage design should be innovative. Also to consider the signage design systems of other sister companies to avoid similarities.
5. It is important to understand the distance and space near the elevator to achieve proper scale.
