Sodexo
Branding 120,000 Square Feet | 2022
Environmental experiential design
After designing brand elements to 120,000 square feet of new space in 2017, Sodexo launched new brand standards in 2022. Happy to take on the challenge once again, we had the opportunity to inject more lifestyle and personality to wayfinding signage. The focus of the ground floor public space is regional environments and architecture. With this Sodexo facility in the Buffalo, NY region, there was no shortage of landmarks to feature in the environmental graphics, which unifies the local community and associates from other parts of the country and the globe.
