Clarity and culture

Fiji National University was formed when six colleges were combined, bringing together ten major academic campuses, six training centres and multiple buildings. These learning spaces ranged from an aeroplane hangar to new and old facilities across many locations across Fiji.

Bringing consistency to the new brand and clarity in the navigation of each campus was critical.

Diadem was engaged in rationalising all signage, and providing a creative solution that would be functional, durable, affordable, environmentally friendly and fun. Importantly, it also needed to reflect Fijian culture authentically.

Expressive and bold patterns are integral to Fijian culture. They are found everywhere, from traditional and modern art to clothing and public infrastructure.

Diadem developed a set of patterns for the FNU wayfinding system as a cost-effective, culturally appropriate and energetic visual system. These patterns were designed to be applied at multiple scales, from wall graphics to room identification.
