In 1990, Copenhagen Airport was awarded the Danish Design Council’s IG Prize for best Airport signage. The prize was given in recognition of the airport’s consistent signage design and visual identity, which made it easy for passengers to find their way about the building. It was designed by Professor Per Mollerup. http://www.swinburne.edu.au/design/people/Professor-Per-Mollerup-ID64.html http://www.netpublikationer.dk/um/10342/html/printerversion_entire_publication.htm
