Curaçao International Airport

We designed a comprehensive site and terminal branding and wayfinding masterplan as part of a concourse expansion project at Curaçao International Airport. The program was designed to be an initial projection of the friendly, laid back island feel to the largely European clientele they serve. We
designed a simple color-coding system to ease the stress of processing through their Immigration facility.

Our scope included designing a complete site and terminal wayfinding, branding, and code sign masterplan.

Sacramento International Airport – Sacramento, CA

Donnelly Design was the wayfinding design consultant on Sacramento International Airport’s $1.1 billion terminal expansion program which includes a new 19-gate terminal, two-level roadway system and both reconfigured and new parking areas. This airport expansion is the single largest public works project in Sacramento County’s history.

Our scope included design of comprehensive roadway, parking and terminal sign programs for integrating these new facilities into the existing airport site, temporary signs to aid in traffic and passenger flow during construction, and updated sign programs on the existing terminal and several new support facilities that are part of the overall development program.

Juan Santamaria International Airport – San Jose, Costa Rica

A new terminal wayfinding program was a key part of the gate and concession expansion program for this gateway for Costa Rica’s burgeoning tourist environment. Our approach was to design sign elements that provided simple, clear guidance to major destinations, and to integrate visual elements from the airport’s brand to create a unique design tone specific to Costa Rica. The wayfinding program was implemented along with improvements to the main concourse corridor to improve lighting and sightlines.

Our scope* included a wayfinding and sign masterplan for terminal and a retail sign guideline.

Dallas Love Field – Dallas, Texas

The extensive redevelopment of Love Field in Dallas has turned this convenient, urban airport into one of the nation’s more striking and modern transit facilities. As the birthplace of Southwest Airlines and the location of its corporate headquarters, the carrier, in conjunction with the Dallas Department of Aviation, took the lead in the renovation of this aging facility.

Donnelly Design provided graphic design services for designing new wayfinding sign program for the modernization of the 20-gate Love Field Terminal. This project was an extensive remodel project, essentially constructing an entirely new concourse and concession area onto the remodeled existing terminal.

Our scope included a wayfinding and sign masterplan for terminal including frontage and pathways to parking facilities.
