Found this one close to home in grand marc. simple and sweet. it fits its purpose without being distracting. i like the simplicity of the arrows having just the triangle lead the eye to the appropriate diriction. the large space between the lines helps seperate the two making it easier on the eyes to differintiate which way to go.

Very simple and elegant solution! Good choice of well designed directional signage.

this design exercises minimalism and has a very clean feel to it. i think it could be improved by making the arrows larger because they are kind of the purpose of the sign and now they are overpowered in the heirarchy by the unit numbers.

I wish the colors were different. I think the overall sign is simple and clear, but the designer could have created a bolder sign.

I like the very thin font detail against the thick solid arrow icon. It wouldn't have looked as nice if they decided to go with a traditional arrow icon using a line and the point.

I like the sans line arrow. i think it connects to the clean minimalistic approach, using only the essentials.

hmm interesting. Lindsay-the colors arent my favorite either, but they do go with the grand marc. Very simple, modern, and easy to look at for people who live there and pass them daily. If they were too bold it would be annoying to look at them every single time you walked down the hall.
