Balancing stakeholders' needs

In early 2014, we were contracted by the Landscape of Grand Pré Society, the Municipality of Kings, and the Nova Scotia Tourism Agency to develop a visual identity and wayfinding signage program for the Landscape of Grand Pré, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The identity now unifies Grand Pré promotional materials, and adorns signs throughout the 1,300 ha site.

Through a phased implementation strategy, this initiative creates an intuitive visual experience within the Landscape of Grand Pré area, capturing the attention of residents and visitors, and highlighting local points of interest.
