During the 2024 Olympic Games, the City of Paris is setting up an operations center in the underground levels of the Hôtel de Ville. This center will operate 24/7, hosting teams working in shifts to ensure the smooth management of the event.

The chosen location lacks natural light, and the signage mission involves both orienting visitors and animating the space with the vibrant colours of the Olympics. Using elements from the official Olympic design guidelines, we created large graphic decorations and colorful carpeting to bring energy and visibility to the space.

The signage adopts the Olympic style, incorporating the official typography and pictograms from the design system. A large wall map prominently displays the locations of key Olympic sites across the city, helping to ground the operations center in the heart of the action.
