A new identity and trilingual wayfinding system for Haiti’s main international gateway in Port-au-Prince.
An airport is often a traveller’s first impression of a country. PAP needed an identity that feels welcoming and modern, and signs that speak to visitors in French, Haitian Creole and English.
The mark tells the story of an arrival. It carries through the terminal on overhead and pylon signs in three languages, and carried the airport’s website, built around live flight information.
Seen as a whole, the mark is a capital H: the letter of Haiti, standing at the country’s front door.
Blue and red, the colours of the Haitian flag, swing open to welcome every traveller.
The light grey form at the centre is the runway, stretching toward the horizon.
The wings are a plane coming in to land: the moment a trip becomes an arrival.
Every sign is installed and in use at the airport today.
