A story within everyone's reach
Cartagena, with a great historical tradition, is one of the most important destinations in the province of Murcia, with a famous port and a rich cultural heritage. Cartagena has an interesting past, full of buildings, monuments, squares, museums, Roman theater, Civil War shelter … in short, countless historical destinations that tourists did not know because they lacked signage. The City Council called a tender for the design and manufacture of the city’s tourist signage. Signes, because of his experience in similar projects, won the competition. The area to be marked was so huge that our technicians had to carry out the project on a Segway.
A family of signs was designed ad hoc with special attention to the industrial part to adapt it to the environment, taking care of the ergonomics of each element. Materials exposed to inclement weather, close to the sea or at risk of vandalism must be treated with the highest quality in their manufacture and finish. Se desarrollaron soluciones cromáticas y tipográficas generalistas para facilitar al máximo el entendimiento y localización de los destinos, así como un sistema industrial que permitiera en el tiempo un fácil mantenimiento.
