Critical Debates in Design: TASK 2: Wayfinding

I have selected O2 Retail Shopping centre in Nw3 for contemporary wayfinding research. This shopping centre is renewed last year.This shopping centre has two floors including cinema,venue place and restaurants. It is  modern, stylish designed shopping centre.
There are mainly three colours used light green,white and black on the wayfinding signs. The typeface is selected to be clear and legible. It is very easy to read it from far on the black colour background white type letters. They have used white colour signature O2 logo on all the signs along with Nw3 postcode. In the entry of the shopping centre, there is a map indicates clearly each floor's details. It is designed very contemporary and clearly. The green colour selected as a single colour combined with black and white colours. The light green colour is so effective on the black colour. The wayfinding signs used on the floors, on the lifts and on the stair doors clearly. It is very easy to find the ways by this sign system.
I found it this shopping centre used very clear and modern wayfinding system. It looks ultra stylish, graphic and elegant. It is so easy to find the ways,it is not possible to panic and lost the ways there. This shopping centre has great  contemporary wayfinding system.
