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.people just like to complain dude, they complain about GotG even though most people love it, they complain about JoW eve though most people love it, they will complain about anything just to complain. People like to complain nowadays about everything.
What is wrong with updating something that used to feel modern to something that now feels modern again? Things become outdated and need to be refreshed, especially when pursuing the style that former Future World espouses. The design of this sign has nothing to do with how long the update has taken.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?

Every single element of this update needs to be weighed against the time and money its cost and the disruption it’s caused, so yes, it’s relevant. The sign doesn’t strike me as particularly modern, more as something that would have been modern 10 or 15 years ago.What is wrong with updating something that used to feel modern to something that now feels modern again?

I don’t think 5-7 years is actually all that unreasonable a timeframe from projects of such scale and scope, especially when it is within the confines of an operating 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.
It really doesn’t. This is a relatively inexpensive part of the update that simply needs to happen as part of the coordinated wayfinding infrastructure. You can’t look at every single tiny thing and bemoan the fact that it’s not ridiculously extravagant. It is part of a broader system of signage designed for cohesion, clarity, and legibility.Every single element of this update needs to be weighed against the time and money its cost and the disruption it’s caused, so yes, it’s relevant.
Our difference lies in the fact that I feel this overall project is profoundly lacking in cohesion or clarity and the sign is representative of the larger failings of the undertaking.It really doesn’t.

The lack of cohesion with the signage is what gets me. The pavilion icons were used on the overhead signage that was installed in the breezeway between Connections and Creations but haven’t been used on the other signage that has been installed in World Celebration. Yeah, it is a minor detail and, overall, I do like the new signage.Our difference lies in the fact that I feel this overall project is profoundly lacking in cohesion or clarity and the sign is representative of the larger failings of the undertaking.
If each and every little thing is emblematic of the larger failure, then there's hardly reason to comment on anything as your attitude about it will always be the same. As I said originally, I have no issue with pointed criticism with regard to specific failings of the signage (as with the inconsistency in iconography, a complaint with which I agree); however, what is tiring are repeated vague assertions that something is lacking in "charm" or "whimsy" without further explanation only to be promptly followed up with deflection about how awful the whole project is.Our difference lies in the fact that I feel this overall project is profoundly lacking in cohesion or clarity and the sign is representative of the larger failings of the undertaking.

I feel that the marker has all the charm of a mall sign. The entire project has taken an area that needed a redesign, the central hub and, after much time and money, has left it little better than before. The sign is emblematic of that.If each and every little thing is emblematic of the larger failure, then there's hardly reason to comment on anything as your attitude about it will always be the same.

I haven’t been posting in this section of the boards much at all lately, spending most of my time over in the movies section defending Disney, but it’s nice to know I loom so large to some.His attitude about everything is indeed the same.
All negative, about everything all the time, for years on end.
He also knows more about everything than everybody - all the time, about everything...
Ah the Sydney Greenstreet guy! I don't do much on the movies side here, but it's good to see you again!I haven’t been posting in this section of the boards much at all lately, spending most of my time over in the movies section defending Disney, but it’s nice to know I loom so large to some.
Oh, and I love Runaway Railroad, like RoR and Rat, so on and so forth.
