Tourists, know your rights.

Government of Rio de Janeiro, 2024.

Rio receives millions of tourists every year. For a government, welcoming them well means more than promoting landmarks. It means making essential information visible, clear and easy to act on. But in a fast-moving city, where information competes with everything else, how do you attract attention?

Turning public information into something that behaves like a brand.

A visual system designed to function in the real world — built within the constraints of government identity, but created for clarity in physical space. Iconic landmarks were transformed into a distinctive illustration language, making the system recognisable, ownable and easy to navigate across different audiences and languages.

Right where the city moves.

In Copacabana, the system became a physical experience. A branded information stand placed at one of the city’s most iconic and high-traffic locations, designed to be seen from a distance, approached intuitively and used without friction. More than a point of information, it acted as a landmark, a meeting point and a place of support — combining visibility, service and trust in a single environment.

Information that travels with you.

The project lived across the tourist journey.

 

A multilingual guide — “Tourists, Know Your Rights” — turned complex information into something simple and portable.

A government project designed not just to inform, but to welcome.

Thousands of guides distributed across 2024 and 2025.

Growing visibility alongside the city’s tourism expansion — reaching over 12 million visitors in 2024 and 12.5 million in 2025.

Driven by a significant rise in international tourism (+43%), reinforcing Rio’s global relevance.
