Creations Shop opening this summer

[hpyhnt 1000]

You guys need some signs?

Also up in the breezeway, per Blog Mickey:

So many signs is rather excessive in my opinion - the two on the end are only about 20 feet apart from each other.

Should have gone with just one sign between each set of doors instead of putting them above every door.

I am glad to see something is getting done in EPCOT. The very generic signage for CREATIONS SHOP and CLUB COOL does remind me of a strip mall when they put up generic signage for shoe store as SHOES or a pharmacy as DRUGS.

Does anyone remember Ice station Cool?

I honestly have to go back to look at photos to see. I do not remember the stip mall signage in Communicore.. I hope they go with the two tone on the roof beams like Communicore had:

You are right... The EPCOT signage for the Creations Shop and Club Cool is WORSE than a strip mall....

It's part of a larger signage and wayfinding system being implemented throughout the park that is, frankly, a thousand times more tasteful than what's been there for the last two decades and, while not as low profile as the original, is an improvement in terms of being able to locate specific functional areas of the building. I'm also glad they're actually sticking to their guns on a unified font for the park and hope they aren't swayed by folks who think it's boring.

One day until we find out if it's a worthy successor, mostly concerned about the merch. The mouse gear may not have had the best layout, but as I said before, it had some of the best merch I could find on property. There were multiple times that I found things I could not find anywhere else there.

Tasteful, and a happy coincidence, a lower cost to implement and maintain.

As for the name, "Creations Shop" I do not understand that name.... Maybe it stands for "creating revenue for the shareholder"?

lol exactly. The signage in the area was always relatively minimalist it seems. Then they added that super ugly winter scene and then a bunch of other 90s tacky....
