Vista System Announces Competition Winner From Africa

Supreme Heat and Colors from Nigeria, who submitted beautiful photos of the Oshodi Airport Interchange project, has won Vista System’s annual signage competition. The company won an Apple Watch Series 5, and will receive positive advertising and exposure. The competition attracted dozens of ambassador and signage companies from around the world, who provided images and stories about their projects.

For the Oshodi Airport Interchange project, the extensive public transportation station in Lagos, Nigeria, included a wide range of signage solutions. The contractor’s requirement was for a cohesive wayfinding system that will be integrated in several public buildings providing urban and national public transportation services. The station serves thousands of people on a daily basis.

Supreme Heat and Colors designed and printed the graphics and installed Vista wayfinding signage solutions throughout the terminal. Waiting halls, shopping centres, service areas, VIP lounges, ticket booths, elevators, car parks and accessible areas were all properly signposted to allow maximum walkability and orientation.

During the construction of the terminal, the company had to deal with several challenges. The space required various signage solutions such as wall frames, suspended signs, pylons, etc. Eventually, the system of choice was the classic and curved Vista System, providing a multitude of solutions, with the elegant design incorporated into the décor. Durability and function played a key role in choosing that system for the high traffic project. Instead of looking around for partial solutions, Vista provided 360° coverage for all needs.

In second place, Vista selected Infinity Sign Company for the Hackensack Meridian Health project. The medical centre serves thousands of visitors and spans over various locations and buildings. The client recently went through a rebranding process and wanted to refresh all wayfinding signs. The new concept offered by Infinity Sign Company was enthusiastically accepted and the new design has been gradually implemented since 2018.

Infinity Sign’s choice of Vista Nova Family was not random. This clever, fresh and sleek curved system; the elegant lip frame; and the fast insert mechanism typical of Vista Frames; made it the perfect go-to solution.

Additionally, being a modular sign system, it allows rapid installation and maintenance as well as the necessary high versatility of inserts, including ADA graphic designs and Braille application on the protective lenses.
