Plaque Design for Marlink

Plaque design integrating brand identity and environmental communication

Project Overview

This project involved designing a commemorative plaque for Marlink to be displayed in a corporate environment. The objective was to create a visual object that reflects Marlink’s brand identity and communicates its legacy within a physical space.

Challenge

  • Represent the company’s heritage and achievements

  • Integrate seamlessly within the physical corporate environment

  • Maintain visual alignment with the corporate brand system

  • Serve both informational and symbolic purposes

The challenge was to balance aesthetic expression and informational clarity within a compact, tangible object.

Design Approach

  • The plaque was designed using the brand’s visual language, graphic elements, and typographic principles.

  • Materials and finishes were selected to reflect corporate sophistication and durability.

  • Layouts were structured to balance hierarchy and readability at a glance.

  • Graphic elements were integrated to tie back to the brand identity system and existing environmental graphics.

This approach ensured that the object not only conveyed information clearly but also reinforced brand presence within the space.

From concept to clarity.

One captured the full brand expression; the other was streamlined for production.
The final design built on the second prototype, refined to showcase the clarity and brilliance of crystal-clear acrylic. Bold color accents bring it to life.
