Audi Brand in Space Guideline

Audi takes a clear stand for progress. With a high degree of flexibility and bold use of key elements, its progressive premium attitude is visible across all channels. The Audi CI Portal is a direct, straightforward way to approach the Audi brand from a design perspective. It is a living style guide that is continuously expanded across touchpoints.

Everything that Audi’s marketing department plans and implements in space is also regulated in the CI Portal. This is how the Audi Brand in Space Guideline came about – in a very close partnership between Audi and SCHMIDHUBER, characterised by many years of collaboration. We have now implemented it many times – and look proudly to Wolfsburg, Vienna, Tokyo and many other locations around the globe!

Progress you can feel

The Audi Brand in Space Guideline embodies the brand attitude of ‘Progressive Premium’ from start to finish. The design of every Audi brand space worldwide is based on three core parameters: minimalistic, clear and human-centric.

“Clear, tidy and no frills: We focus on the essential elements.”

REDUCED

Audi’s interior design is characterised by a minimalist design language. This allows us to focus on the messages we want to convey to visitors. Views and paths are guided in a subtle yet targeted manner, without restricting freedom of movement or dictating how visitors move through the space.

“The Audi brand space is staged clearly and unambiguously: The rings should be placed so that they are recognisable to the visitor from all important angles.”

CLEAR

“Progressive Premium” is reflected in the spatial and physical brand experience we provide our visitors with. In terms of brand messaging, this means communicating the essentials clearly instead of overloading the space with content.

“The Audi brand space is set up to deliver on the visitors’ need for a real brand experience. Progressive Premium forms the basis of every design element and creates a high-end, inviting atmosphere.”

HUMAN CENTRIC

In our brand space, it translates into clear and open areas where visitors can feel welcome, enjoy spending time and interact with the brand naturally.
