Based on the Epworth Freemasons donor recognition signage we developed in 2020, we recently created new donor recognition installations for Epworth Eastern Hospital in Box Hill and Epworth Richmond. The digital donor signage at Epworth Eastern consists of four digital displays and two static text panels, with three of the screens combined into a video-wall configuration. The modular system is highly adaptable and can be configured to suit almost any architectural location. This same digital donor recognition solution will be rolled out at other Epworth sites later next year.
Digital donor signage gives the client the flexibility to easily update their frequently changing donor lists. The design is simple, minimal and blends into the hospital environment through a segmented ribbon that transitions from static messaging panels into digital content panels. The ribbon includes deliberate breaks where the wall surface becomes visible. At Epworth Richmond — where approximately 25 metres of this donor recognition ribbon has been installed — it creates the impression of a continuous strip that appears at key points throughout the hospital and then disappears again.
The design rationale draws on subtle visual references to high-tech healthcare equipment: white, rounded, vacuum-formed shapes reminiscent of modern MRI scanners paired with integrated digital displays. The donor listings animate with a gentle, scanning-like motion, subtly echoing medical imaging and reinforcing the hierarchy and categorisation of each donor name across the digital displays.
