When it came to updating the wayfinding signs, an initial audit revealed a significant number of outdated and duplicate signs, as well as several different designs. All symptomatic of a previously incremental approach to updating the information to meet emerging requirements.

Although the intention was to use as much of the existing sign forms as possible, the updated wayfinding strategy takes a first principle approach. Only placing information where it is needed to either welcome drivers and pedestrians; or help them successfully navigate around the estate. As well as reducing visual noise, a schedule to remove outdated or surplus signs, also contributes to developing a more legible environment. The colour palette and the graphic element of the brand identify are incorporated within the new design of the signs – reinforcing the brand within the physical environment.
