The Parramatta Justice Precinct

The Parramatta Justice Precinct

The Parramatta Justice Precinct provides a significantly improved community access to a wide range of metropolitan based justice services. Effective signage is extremely important in assisting the public to locate the various services.

An external signage strategy was developed to provide an integrated family of signs addressing the needs for wayfinding, orientation, building and precinct identification and for the dissemination of information within the precinct.

The signage conveys excellence of design and implementation. It reinforces and contributes to the context and identity of the precinct and it’s setting. The signage is prominent and easily identifiable, but not visibly intrusive, taking cues from the surrounding architecture.

Sydney 2000 olimpic way finding


Sydney 2000 olimpic way finding

Pedestrian wayfinding in the central Sydney area during the 2000 Olympic Games was aimed at providing an Integral system of Olympic wayfinding. 

The message system was to combine existing signage symbols and message relying on standards pictograms. 

Our aim was to maximise the efficiency of the signage programme by reducing and standardising the different criteria for the types of signs, the proportion, method of fixing, height above ground, structure and hierarchy of information, grouping and layout of messages, clarify the trichotomy of direction through arrows, destinations, text and recognition through pictograms.

well as a hugely popular tourist destination, that attracts more than 28

to 1991 when the firm conducted a wayfinding audit and subsequently

Sydney Institute



TAFE - Sydney Institute

TAFE NSW, Sydney Institute is one of the largest and most innovative vocational education and training providers in Australia with 70000 students. It required a radical update of it’s visual identity and wayfinding program for eight colleges.

In consideration of the institute’s location in the city amongst two universities and it’s enhanced status in the education sector, a solution was found by Minale Tattersfield to communicate the institutes objectives clearly and distinctively. This was achieved by the process of transforming complex issues into a modular system of a branded language.

The signage system was developed over a period of five years.
