I went to Zoo Negara yesterday to look at some of the Navigational designs for signs available there. I noticed that the navigational signs that they have are not so attractive and has aged. People tend to walk pass it and rather asked around for directions or reading the map purchased at the information counter at the main gate instead!
The signs are also shown mostly pointing to left and right ONLY. What if I came from the right hand side of the sign and I don't want to walk straight to the left side but to turn to the other directions (turn left or right from where I stand).... and I want to know what animals are available there before I turn. *oppsss.... sorry, no signs available... just walk and you'll eventually find out for yourself! *
hmm.... Perhaps, it is time for some changes!
The whole sign is in black and white and also BLUE.
The arrows for "Pusat Pendidikan" and "Tandas" is pointing to the ground. *gasps*
Some blank plates... *wonders what they are for*
The "Reptilia"sign is dropping!! :(
This is how the signage looks like, from a distance.
It surely did not grab my attention.
I think Zoo Negara needs a whole new set of attractive Navigational signs as it is a well known and popular tourist attraction. Transformation is needed for Zoo Negara to walk the path towards a World Class Zoo.
