Describe the brief from the client

Our task was to develop a corporate design for Simperience – a flight simulator made up of original Airbus components – including print material, business cards and CD-ROMs.



Describe the challenges and key objectives

The main challenge entailed creating a visual that immediately connected the Corporate Design with the connotation of an Airbus in the consumers’ minds.



Describe how you arrived at the final design

After some attempts we realised, that the windscreen is the perfect distinguishing characteristic of an Airbus. However, as a logo it worked best when placed in a circular surrounding in order to convey the impression of an actual plane. This insight gave birth to the oval business card.



Give some indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

The distribution of business cards and promotional CD-ROMs at an Austrian game fair resulted in immediate expressions of interest: within 2 months, more than 150 prospects called the info hotline.
