The below are a few examples of what are deemed as being traditional directional signage. They all feature arrows, whether they are actual arrow icons or whether the arrow is worked into the sign. A good factor about the traditional arrowed sign post is that it is standard as a sign and it is known by most in various different countries. I am going to take some elements of the traditional side and mix them with my contemporary style ideas. All of the below signs feature white text on a coloured background which is usually a dark green. By having the dark green colour, it fits in more to the surroundings meaning that it isn't an eye sore to the general public.
These types of signposts are usually high up which means that it wouldn't be suitable for disabled/wheelchair users or children as they would have to constantly look up to see the directions. I think that although these directional signs are extremely useful, they don't necessarily apply to the type of signage that I am trying to create so in conclusion, I am going to take certain elements from this traditional style such as the white writing on the green sign posts to avoid it being an eyesore. This way, I could incorporate some of the universities fonts and elements but use a green/brown wooded background
