Starfield, a retail project in Hanam, South Korea. Exterior Architectural Facade Project Identity Signage

RSM Design was invited to the join the client team to develop a comprehensive and multi-cultural signage and wayfinding design program for the exterior, interior, and parking garages. Mixing scale, texture, pattern, and contrasting typographic forms, RSM Design created a user-friendly system of signage. Inspiration was drawn from the stars in the sky, the surrounding mountainous backdrop, the internationally-recognized Starfield brand story, as well as the stunning interior and exterior architecture, lighting, and landscape. The idea was to create a lifestyle shopping experience utilizing environmental graphic design; RSM Design’s signage solution has since helped shape Starfield Hanam into a unique South Korean destination, showing a steady growth in sales with over 800 brands, a hypermarket, and a wealth of entertainment facilities.
