Last month Slate.com did a series of articles about signs, maps, and wayfinding, including:
- why Penn Station’s signs are so confusing,
- how London has been improving its signage, and
- why American exit signs are different from everyone else’s.
I love this stuff. I’ve commuted through Penn Station for two and a half years and it still confuses me sometimes.
Ooh, how did I miss this whole series? Thanks for the links. I love good information design, especially for transportation. (In a couple of weeks our Southeast Asia vacation includes making our way through a handful of airports I’ve not been to before, and I am already geeking out with excitement.)
