Curious how this one has directions to CommuniCore Hall but the one near World Nature doesn’t mention it at all.

Frustrating that they are not using the Journey of Water pavilion logo anywhere. Love the new sign though.

It looks like there is a Mickey logo after “Mickey and Friends”.

This area has been closed so long, I forgot how large the Project Tomorrow/SSE building is. should be interesting much the positioning of the Walt statue will accentuate the building right behind it... I assume most will ignore it because of SSE hovering above it but those glass windows right behind the statue location are looking not too hot

Hasn’t that been the question since they sort of started reusing symbols back with the last Spaceship Earth refresh? They keep flirting with them but never truly commit.

I think that the symbols are in a bad relationship with Disney. We need to stage an intervention.

Is it time for us to talk about how one of the biggest issues of these parkwide redos is how wishy-washy they seem to be?
DCA, DHS, WDS, and now EPCOT - they clear out huge swaths of infrastructure but don't seem to know how to put the parks back together in ways that make complete sense. It's so rare to see them actually deliver a new vision that's also cohesive.

It certainly doesn’t help that for a variety of reasons the creative leadership lacks consistency. Disney loudly brought back Bob Weis for Disney’s California Adventure but he then jumped on to Shanghai Disneyland. Evolving Epcot is apparently now on its third creative lead plus the chaos of Iger bailing when he was such a driving force for the project.

How utterly charmless. Like a slightly upscale office park.

Almost makes you wonder if they could avoid those types of problems by condensing the build times to a reasonable window instead of stretching them out over a half-decade.

You can certainly make an argument for the first. The second is much more dynamic.

to be fair...The original World of Motion building was dynamic and beautiful...The sign didn't actually have to be anything more than nice and modern....The building is now buried under a giant charmless shade structure...

You know what's funny?
I don't think many would disagree with this statement...here's hoping it goes away when they do the refurb.

The first isn’t even an argument. It’s plain fact, and it’s the exact parallel to this sign, just aesthetically 30+ years removed. People will seriously complain about the most inoffensive things ever. The iconography is a consistency issue worthy of attention, but there’s just nothing at all wrong with the design of this sign in the context of the setting.

So the best argument here is that, after a multi-year, very expensive redesign that has ripped the guest experience to shreds, elements of EPCOTs core are no more charmless than they used to be? Great.
Oh, and you may want to reassess opinion on GotG, which is a fun coaster but a failure as anything more and nowhere near worth its budget.
