Our final destination for our sign research was Leeds Railway Station.
The station followed a particular colour scheme, a dark blue background with white text. This allowed the text to be easily deciphered from the background and made it stand out well. A sans-serif typeface was used, which is easy to read and has a high legibility.
There was quite a lot of imagery/signs used within the system, such as luggage trolleys and meeting point diagrams. One thing I found particularly interesting was that the sign for the cash machines did not have any text, or even any mention of the ATM machines, just a simple diagram of bank notes and money. This demonstrated the idea that people are able to decipher what certain images mean without the aid of any text at all.
