Old Décor Integration
SET 4 – West Point Wal-Mart
Spinning around for a second, this view looks at the intersection of the left-side actionway with the rear actionway. Not only is the Sporting Goods department sign (somewhat) visible hanging along the wall in the background, we also get a really good look at one of the Pre-Impact décor’s directional wayfinder signs there near the top center of the image.
There are several interesting things to point out with that sign, such as how its placards are skinny in design (to match the skinny hanging pendants of the décor package), and how it’s a fully three-dimensional cube (Project Impact’s earliest iterations switched over to a hollow cube, while its later versions as well as its successors ultimately just wound up going with a new, flat, two-sided design). What I find most interesting to point out, however, is that “Pickup in front of store” placard.
Recall my theory from a few photos back (see here) that Pickup was originally in the back of this store, before later being moved to the front. That would mean this placard – and all of those like it, throughout the salesfloor – was custom-made to fit these outdated directories, given that this décor was long out of production! I have to wonder if this was maybe the sole and singular store to get such a treatment, in fact. (Even if my theory is false, in either scenario Pickup was still only introduced years after this décor package debuted, so these placards would still have to have been custom-made, most likely. You know me: I love attention to detail like that.)

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
