They are closely related to the design of the building by Delugan Meissl Associated Architects. The architecture of EYE requires a special interpretation of the interior. Gispen is responsible for the design of public spaces and the offices of EYE. The décor has therefore opted for a number of design icons from the NgispeN collection. The innovative concept for a transparent environment-related activity is geared to the working style of EYE. The particular open workspaces facilitate communication, while the semi-transparent areas to close the merger and ensure peace in the department. The Design Academy in Eindhoven has devised concepts for the signage in EYE. One of these concepts is by Buro Baar out of work until the final design. The signage is initially highly functional, by the nature of the use that a large number of 'new' visitors entails, and the virtual absence of right-angled corners in the interior. The special signage is in ambition in line with the appearance of the building. The entrance is clearly visible without help. The visitor will find a number of choices: destination, direction, personal property, store cards etc. The purchase is the entrance gate to the building, the Arena is the roundabout.

03/22/2012 Based in Washington, D.C., the Air Transport Association was the first and remains the only trade organization of the principal U.S. airlines. With the arrival of a dynamic new CEO, Nicholas Calio, the organization was determined to respond to the global issues that the aviation industry faces in the 21st century. Pentagram’s Michael Bierut and Michael Gericke were retained to assess the organization’s name and tagline, assist in the crafting of a new mission statement and create a new visual identity. The new name, Airlines for America, makes crystal clear the organization’s fundamental purpose: to foster a business environment that advances the nation’s economy and global competitiveness. The global arena in which that competition takes place is reflected by the new tagline, “We Connect the World.” The new symbol, five planes coming together to form a star, serves as a visual metaphor for a group of airlines working in concert in service of their country.
