Innovative Network Mapping Solutions

Enhancing digital engagement through stylised mapping.

We partnered with Gamma/The Loop to develop visual network maps that not only detail their extensive fibre-optic infrastructure but also serve as effective marketing tools. Our design transformed complex data into visually appealing, easy-to-understand graphics.

These maps, crafted with meticulous attention to colour, patterns, and icons, offer a streamlined user experience that facilitates understanding and promotes the infrastructure’s capabilities.

Brief

The Loop required a solution to represent their expansive network in a way that is both informative and engaging for potential clients and stakeholders.

The challenge was to synthesise detailed technical data into graphics that are intuitive and marketing-friendly, supporting both digital and print media.

Strategy

Our strategy focused on developing a unique visual language for The Loop’s network maps, similar to stylised transit maps, which are known for their clarity and ease of use.

We concentrated on creating a user-friendly interface that simplifies the complex nature of fibre-optic networks, making it accessible and shareable across various digital platforms.

Solution

We designed a series of detailed maps using distinct colours, patterns, and icons to denote different network segments and services clearly.

The design was implemented with a focus on digital usability, ensuring that the maps are not only visually engaging but also function well on various devices and in different formats.
