KÖLN-BONN AIRPORT | So Simple

In the middle of the two cities Cologne and Bonn is a small airport in the very west of Germany. Köln-Bonn Airport​ is ​making a name for itself with the unique and daring corporate design by Intégral Ruedi Baur. The idea was to position the airport as a friendly place where the majority of people will start into their holidays​.
The typeface used for this project is SimpleKölnBonn (or Simple-Airport), a customized version of Simple that Intégral Ruedi Baur had commissioned from Swiss design studio NORM for which a large set of special pictrograms was designed. Simple esthetics, casual atmosphere, and stroke thickness of fonts and icons match perfectly. The colorful background of the large icons are off-set from the thick black outline, leaving a “handmade” impression or one of sloppy printing.​
