100 Things - Categorise & Communicate

Airport Way Finding Signage



http://www.behance.net/gallery/Singapore-Changi-Airport-Inforgraphics/1221131
An example of a way finding system for Singapore Changi airport found on the Behance Network where they have changed the appearance of the conventional symbols found in airports to make them more understandable. The imagery isn't particularly strong and they aren't fantastic aesthetics wise, but they could quite easily work and communicate without the text on the signs. The icons are simple and easy to understand and the directional icons are easy enough to follow, while being a completely different take on the conventional style of arrows seen in existing airport signage.
