The result is a modern, minimalist, elegant experience that visually transports our passengers around the world." –Karan Suri, Heathrow Express Taking inspiration from the classic Heathrow purple, the creative team explored the play of light in tunnels and modern travel user interface design, but it was the Heathrow Express logo roundel that created the ‘aha’ moment. Jonathan Gilbert, Vice President of Digital Content and Development at Spafax said: “We imagined the Heathrow Express journey as a portal that takes you from London to other countries around the world. The prominent neon circles throughout the visual identity marry this portal concept with the iconic Heathrow Express logo.” The new onboard information system provides automated content updates over cell modem, with content scheduled dynamically according to smart triggers onboard the train. In addition to the visual idents, Spafax developed a clear, concise and accessible suite of onboard information videos, from destination announcements to onboard safety, upgrades and sales messages. All of these videos work individually and in tandem, enabling dynamic scheduling. "Beyond integrating the new brand identity across passenger communications, we wanted to provide Heathrow Express customers a sense reassurance on their journey." –Jonathan Gilbert, Spafax Jonathan Gilbert added: “Beyond integrating the new brand identity across passenger communications, we wanted to provide Heathrow Express customers a sense reassurance on their journey. Clarity and timing of information was a key part of our strategy.” Karan Suri, Commercial Strategy Lead, Heathrow Express, said: “As customers look forward to travel again, we are proud to offer them a new fleet of trains complete with fast onboard WiFi, at seat USB power, HD televisions and Business First. As the UK’s leading rail service, it was important for Heathrow Express to choose a partner like Spafax who could deliver a strong new visual identity and clear communications for Heathrow Express TV that reflect our top-rated service. We’re so thrilled with what they have delivered.” Discover the world of travel media and entertainment with the Future Screen podcast © Spafax 2021. All rights reserved. Spafax is a WPP company.
