Slovak Railways redesign

The Slovak Railways redesign is part of Dalibor’s bachelor thesis and addresses the comprehensive redesign of the Slovak Railways’ exterior coatings and navigation systems. It addresses long-standing issues such as poor orientation, inconsistent designs, and non-functional visual language. The result is work that simplifies the user experience of traveling by train, helping passengers find the correct carriage, proper seating, and organize information into cohesive units, also aiding visually impaired passengers to locate key elements like doors and railings.
