Wayfinding Design

Enhance user experience through thoughtful wayfinding design.

GNU Group creates human-centered wayfinding strategies and signage systems that help people navigate complex environments clearly, confidently, and efficiently. We study circulation patterns, destinations, decision points, user needs, and the physical environment to develop intuitive systems that guide people from arrival to destination.

Our wayfinding design approach brings together directional signage, identification, maps, information hierarchy, and environmental cues to create a coordinated navigation experience tailored to each place. The result is a clear and cohesive wayfinding system that reduces confusion, improves the visitor experience, and reinforces the identity and character of the environment.

01

Healthcare

The internal and external wayfinding program at Kaiser Permanente’s Oakland Campus is an integrated system that starts before patients even arrive at the facility. Appointment cards and reminder emails include the same directional graphics they’ll see when they arrive on campus. GNU Group developed consistently-branded wayfinding language that is comforting for patients and helps them feel welcome.

02

Aviation

The Los Angeles International Airport and its Midfield Satellite Concourse North Project required 19 additional gates with wayfinding, as well as a linking underground walkway. GNU Group developed a wayfinding masterplan and construction documents for smooth project implementation. Our wayfinding signage design will help millions of travelers find their way to their gates on time, preventing delays and missed flights.

03

Workplace

When LinkedIn went through a period of rapid expansion, GNU Group leveraged the proprietary Total Wayfinding System™ to create a comprehensive, branded wayfinding program across all their domestic and international locations. Now, whether a person is in San Francisco, Delhi, or Dublin, they can find their way through corporate offices with a sense of branded familiarity.
