The Design

About Ginkgo Swan Lake Signage System

Ginkgo Swan Lake is a signage system designed for a park in Jiaxing, China. The shapes and colors are taken from the ginkgo leaf and the swan. The outline of ginkgo leaves and the white color of swans define the visual style of the series. Each sign is cut from thick stainless steel plate with a hollowed pattern, so light and shadow remain clear by day and by night. Several styles can be customized and combined into one family. Placed along different routes, the signs guide visitors and spread them evenly across the park.

Play brings a good experience and enhance the happiness of travel.
