This company I named Unity and their mission was to design and brand interior spaces to deliver a cohesive and encapsulating visitor experience. Part of the way the brand conveyed this message was through the use of transparent colors and geometrical shapes arranged in such a way to convey a sense of depth. With this in mind I thought it would be great to create a physical model of what signage could look like for the office, behind the visitor\u2019s desk, at Unity. To do this I decided to print different colors on transparencies and use the laser cutter to cut out the different geometrical elements and logotype.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anthonyrkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Unity-2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-83\" title=\"Unity 2\" src=\"http:\/\/www.anthonyrkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Unity-2-764x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"965\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.anthonyrkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Unity-2-764x1024.jpg 764w, https:\/\/www.anthonyrkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Unity-2-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/www.anthonyrkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Unity-2-210x281.jpg 210w, https:\/\/www.anthonyrkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Unity-2.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>After cutting out the pieces I attached fishing line to the different elements and did a quick mockup of what the sign would look like for proof of concept.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.anthonyrkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Unity-3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-84\" title=\"Unity 3\" src=\"http:\/\/www.anthonyrkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Unity-3-1024x764.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"720\" height=\"537\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.anthonyrkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Unity-3-1024x764.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.anthonyrkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Unity-3-300x224.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.anthonyrkling.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/Unity-3-210x156.jpg 210w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 720px) 100vw, 720px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Once I had finished arranging all the elements I utilized a light to create a colored shadow further accentuating the sense of dimension the brand was meant to convey.
