Production of Umeda Hospital Signage

In 1998, Nippon Design Center produced the signage plan for Umeda Hospital, a maternity hospital in Yamaguchi Prefecture. The key concept underlying the signs was "Cleanliness is the best service that a hospital can provide". With the recent renovation of the outpatient building, new signs have been created.

The 1998 signage plan for Umeda Hospital was based on the key concept “Cleanliness is the best service that a hospital can provide”. With the recent renovation of the outpatient building, new signs have been created. The concept of the “washable sign” remains the same. The design uses white cloth that in fact can easily be dirtied. However a zipper attachment method allows them to be easily washed and replaced, just like bedsheets and the nurses’ uniforms.
Visitors to the large waiting room are met by three monumental signs which serve to direct traffic.
