Padua, 28.03.2023 -  Mediastars, the Advertising Technical Award dedicated to the Italian agencies’ creativity, recognized YAK Agency as the best agency in Italy, awarding it for the new institutional image of the Azienda Ospedale – Università di Padova. The board of the 27th edition of the Award, made up of 200 professionals and experts selected among the Creative Directors, Founders and CEOs of leading Italian Companies, evaluated over 600 submitted projects representative of the current Italian communication and then awarded the First Award and two special mentions for the Art Direction and Graphic Design to the Padua-based agency of Marco Dalla Dea and Giovanni Cecolin. 

The winning project

 

With a collaboration started in November 2021, YAK Agency took care of completely reinventing the graphic image of the Azienda Ospedale – Università di Padova. The restyling started from the design of the new official logo, moving on to the reinvention of the graphic concept, therefore rethinking the Agency’s brand identity. After a first planning phase, the agency dealt with the design and production of all institutional corporate materials (print and digital). During the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic emergency, the agency also collaborated in the production of the dual-language (Italian and English) information media, useful for signposting the various swab and vaccination points and informing patients about the hospital’s safety rules.

YAK Agency then conducted a major redesign of the hospital’s building map in order to create an efficient “wayfinding” (orientation) system for all users of the hospital. Starting from an in-depth analysis of the routine, logistics, the amount of content and information to be conveyed and the various type of people who visit the hospital every day, the agency wrote new guidelines to streamline orientation information. The agency designed then the new signage (internal and external) of the different buildings that make up the overall structure, from the Obstetrical Clinic to the Monoblock, and designed the new directional totems for the internal road network.
