Revolutionizing Office Etiquette: New HQ, New Rules

Award-Winning Signage System by Hd Communication Kft. Brings Humor to Office Norms

In a world where digital companies dominate, Hd Communication Kft. has taken a refreshingly analogue approach to office etiquette in Telekom's new HQ. The design team has created a unique signage system that not only communicates office rules but does so with a touch of humor, inspiring employees to follow them with a smile.

The inspiration behind the design was to contrast the modernity and enormity of the building with a human touch. The team focused on incorporating humor into everyday office situations, creating a playful yet clean design that instantly evokes an emotional reaction in the viewer. The challenge was to make the rules loveable, so people would feel inspired to respect them, rather than feeling ordered or forced.

The uniqueness of this design lies in its approach to office behavior. The team created a visual identity for a new set of rules, aiming to make them more appealing and less authoritative. The result is a signage system that is both functional and engaging, a rare combination in office settings.

The design team included Creative Director András Tarkovács, Art Director Ákos Polgárdi, Illustrator Gergő Gilicze, Design Consultant Scheitz András, and Project Manager Netta Luzsi. Their collective efforts have resulted in a design that is not only effective but also enjoyable, a testament to their creativity and innovation.

The design, tagged as 'Office building, Signage, Illustration, Design, System of Norm', has been recognized for its excellence and innovation. It was awarded Silver in A' Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design Award in 2021. The Silver A' Design Award is given to top-of-the-line, creative, and professionally remarkable designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation. These designs are admired for their strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill, and they evoke positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.

The design is permanent, reflecting the team's commitment to creating a lasting impact on office culture. With its unique approach to office etiquette, Hd Communication Kft. has set a new standard for office signage, proving that even the most mundane aspects of office life can be transformed into something extraordinary.
