Map

White blocks represent the buildings and enclosures.
Green represents the foliage, grass and other parts of the zoo.
Grey represents usable walkways and pathways.
The whole map has been simplified but not to the extent where information is lost.

Signage for animals and toilets

The signage for the animals/toilets will jut out from the wall, the sides will also bear the symbol so they can be viewed from all angles easily. The location they are in will also be displayed so that they know what part of the map they are in.

GORILLA?

penguin?

TOILET SIGNS

found these thought they were cool

have been trying to create raised features to add to the map....what do you think of these? how do you think we should move forward with this map?? I have thought about having a flat map with just this part of the symbols raised up, or do we want a lil bit of each raised, or some form of wall holding the symbols instead?

Animal Icons

Here's what me and filipe were thinking of, but maybe with a style more like Alanas icons. But i think the idea of sizing the animals and placing them in places they could be, (e.g spiders on the top of the box upside down, birds in the middle flying) really adds something to the icons and makes them more fun for the children.

MAP

love the map, we need to sort out a typeface and also a little mock up of some of the wayfinding for thurs?

This is the progress of the map so far...all suggestions welcome. I was thinking of adding the symbols to the grey areas which represent the enclosures and main buildings. I tried a version without grass and a few coloured versions but I feel so far the main image works best...any ideas?

wow those symbols look great, maybe even in the style of those odd signs you have found, the lighting around those would look great. Even text simply cut out of a sheet with writing cut out would look great with some back lighting. Maybe a metal sheet would work just as well as concrete but in a more modern slant? i'll try to add an example of what I mean...
