A Unique Take on Directional Signage: 'Like a Kid's Art Project' at Boon Keng MRT
Commuters at Boon Keng MRT were left in awe by a distinctive directional signage, adorned with the logos of well-known brands and directions, that some found reminiscent of retro vibes and low-budget charm. The signage was captured in a photo and shared on Reddit, sparking curiosity among netizens.
The Redditor noted that these signs were scattered throughout the MRT station, adding a touch of quirkiness to the usual mundane transit environment. This unique approach to wayfinding has sparked a range of reactions, with some praising its creativity and others questioning its effectiveness.
One user commented on the Redditor's post, expressing admiration for the effort put into replicating brand fonts, saying, 'Honestly, I think it's kind of cute they tried to replicate the brand fonts themselves.' However, others were more critical, questioning the accuracy of the directions, such as the one that reads '125 to Genting Lane.'
A more insightful comment provided clarification, stating, 'You can catch Bus No. 125 from the connecting bus stop there, which would take you to Genting Lane.' This comment also highlighted a potential practical purpose, suggesting that the signage might be designed to assist seniors with early-stage dementia in navigating their way home.
Some netizens found humor in the situation, comparing the signage to a sticker book and a kid's art project. One user even joked that the result of such a design could be the outcome of someone's passion for graphic design. The McDonald's sign, in particular, evoked memories of the brand's older logo, as one user shared a photo of a vintage McDonald's outlet.
