Metrolinx: Safety Is
For something that’s supposed to keep you safe, safety signs can feel a bit too cold.
We didn't want safety to feel like another boring lecture either.
So to break through a sea of ignorable sameness, we took a warmer, more relateable approach that really connected with people, and dogs, and turtles on a more personal level.
From a hundred rounds of sketch studies...
To colouring...
To finally 3D...
Each tiny detail were inspired by the diverse walks of life in the province of Ontario.
We then let it out in places where safety is needed.
Metrolinx's safety reputation skyrocketed significantly.
With safety satisfaction scores rising by 5% over six months, surpassing industry benchmarks by 66%.
This was a first in Metrolinx history.
The work has been recognized in local and international award shows.
