Photo update as of Tuesday, March 15. New signage on the construction walls for the kiosks at either end of the Marketplace Causeway. Definitely a play on Disney themes.

In their defense, how often is anyone actually going to see them down?

I saw them. You saw them. WDWtraveler saw them.
Do the kiosks remain open during the full operating hours of the Springs? I didn't think they did.

I have bigger problem with a kiosk that has a ladder and construction material laying in front of it. That's strange themeing.

Everyone loves the ladder, though. He's famous!I have bigger problem with a kiosk that has a ladder and construction material laying in front of it. That's strange themeing.
The current kiosks do not open with the Springs or stay open the entire evening...according to the calendar. So yeah, these will be visible.

Photo update as of Thursday, October 26, 2017. The original "Disney Springs" medallions / plaques seen on the causeway and other places around Disney Springs were made of aluminum or some alloy that degraded over time in the weather. Weren't pretty. Here are the new "brass-looking" medallions / plaques that have been installed. Much prettier.

Those look great! They look as if they have a nice thick clear-coat on them too. No matter what materials you use, there is bound to be some degradation over the years, but there are finishes now that prolong life expectancy tremendously. (I was in the sign business for MANY years.
)

This photo was taken in October of 2015, so the plaque couldn't have been more than a few months old. You never realize how sub-par something looks until you see a really nice version of it.

Yikes...that doesn't look just like weathering...it looks like something substantial scraped the front of it.
Are these in spots where people could lean on them?
How do we know that several Imagineers didn't spend days applying ageing techniques on them?

Yes. I went back and found one of @WDWtraveler 's photos from during the construction. My photo is from one of the pillars in the picture.

We don't. But that doesn't mean the new look isn't much nicer (IMO).

Because ageing techniques would be consistent across the front, not weird random patches like that in very specific, limited areas.
EDIT: Also, just because you apply ageing techniques DOES NOT mean you make a sign illegible.

Not sure where else this may have been mentioned, but they've been replacing all of the signs for the hotels in the Hotel Plaza. They're Disney Springs-themed now, with a nice brickwork look and what looks to be similar medallions like the ones shown up above.
