Fixing the EPCOT Signs (mini series)

[Scamp08]

Hi there, here is a mini project I am doing for a bit of fun and to give disney some constructive criticism. My feelings on the EPCOT redo are mixed overall but one of the things I like is the new typeface being used on the direction signage.

Many of the EPCOT pavilions still look like they're stuck in the 2000s. The mock-ups, in this thread show how the signage could be fixed with minimal effort to match the new style.

Feel free to the share the images...

Here is the first one, for 'The Land'.

This is my favorite type of armchair imagineering! Low cost stuff that can improve the parks so much. Keep up the great work!

Awesome job, it really fits with how Epcot is supposed to look.

Spaceship Earth

The Spaceship Earth Font would also look great with the geodesic sphere's pattern within the lettering. But that would however make it less minimalistic.

I based it off the new signs by camera center and gateway gifts. It would be backlit to light up at night too.

Yep, I could see what you were doing. The font is one of the rare gems of the new Epcot Overhaul. I haven't liked most of it. I wish they didn't get rid of the fountain and the right side of Innoventions. And the front looks too much like a California Community College.

Great job man!

'Universe of Energy' inspired sign for Guardians.

Mission Space

That's the last one for now.

I might do test track after the refurb I’ll wait and see how it turns out.

Thank you for your likes and responses to my work.

This sign would almost make up for the fact that we could have had Cosmic Rewind replace this ride instead!

Almost.

Almost.

Yeah I agree, i don’t like the pillar under the ship its looks a bit ugly, covering it up with something would help.

Plus the original energy sign was cool looking. It worked well with the shape of the building.

I think my favorite detail in the park is the planter that mirrored the shape of Horizons that is now outside of mission space.

Yeah, There’s also some references to horizons in mission space itself, and the space mountain exit queue. It’s legacy lives on.
