Wayfinding signs refer to any type of signage that intends to guide and give directions to people. It uses symbols or words to indicate direction without stating complicated explanations.
Wayfinding does not need to advertise anything or act as advertisement signage. It can be used by municipalities, colleges, resorts, malls, and other high-traffic locations.
Effective wayfinding signs need to give an accurate and well-defined answer to these three questions immediately:
Where am I?
Where is my destination?
How do I get to my destination?
