Creations Shop opening this summer

[hpyhnt 1000]

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.

I'm quite pleased with the updated font, along with how it's been incorporated in many places already, from directional signs to inside pavilions like at The Seas to even the ticket booth screens.

I just wish the Creations Shop signs were smaller and/or less numerous. But the font is certainly not the issue and I hope it keeps popping up across Future World whatever these "neighborhoods" are called.

Thanks for reminding me, now I am mad it’s not called Future World anymore! , JK, it doesn’t matter what they call it, it will still Future World to me , just like I still call Hollywood studios MGM

That's the forward-looking spirit of EPCOT Center right there!

What if the large font for the 'CREATIONS shop' sign was a subliminal way to lure Guests in thinking it was a Attraction?

I mean, think about it....
Sure does give the impression when seen from a distance.

Guests desperate for more to do in the construction zone may indeed mistake it as such.
They see the big sign from across the way, wander in, and then realize it's a retail space.
Once in, they either leave or more then likely look around and end up buying something.
'Mission accomplished' says Chapek.

Just a thought.

Not sure they would have featured the word "Shop" so prominently on the sign if that was the case.

Just a thought.

Strangely, many of your thoughts read like conspiracy theories.

Also, I love that we can have people saying the signage is so boring that it looks like a strip mall while others think it's overly decorative attraction-like signage to lure unsuspecting guests into a merchandising Venus flytrap.

EPCOT CENTER stopped being forward-looking the day Walt died. It’s always just been a theme park..

Poor Mickey! He’s been cursed to join Davey Jones’ crew!

Some of these look like high school Studio Art projects.

I’d recommend you don’t.

Is the goal to make Mickey legitimately look like a 92-year old mouse? We have him undead on the wall and decaying in statue form.

I hope they don’t kill him off for the Season 50 opening episode. But the foreshadowing is strong.

 

[James Alucobond]

Yeah, I was hoping these would be more EPCOT-focused.

Yeah, I was hoping these would be more EPCOT-focused.

These would make more sense in World of Disney.

To the extent that they make sense at all.

Really like the tiki vibe one. Great use of technique to achieve that look. Fun to see each artist's unique vision and style on display

 

[MisterPenguin]

I thought the mural was awful.

But, I like these three statues. They all have a point of view and a commitment to a technique. It's like we're Into the Mickey-Verse.

Isn't that the name of the store next to Cosmic Ray's? Oh, it's Merchant of Venus!

Photo update as of Tuesday, September 14, 2021. One day before opening. Looks like both sides of the pavilion will be open for the Creations Shop.

Um...I would totally buy that blue Mickey statue and put him on display at home.
It's AWESOME. Reminds me of Corpse Bride.
