When I heard, a few days ago, that New York City was starting a pilot program to place wayfinding "compasses" outside Subway stations, I rejoiced. Every time I go to to NYC, I walk up the stairs only to realize that I have no idea which direction to go. I have to walk at least half a block before I can see the cross streets and make sure I'm going the right way. So I thought it was cool when I got an email from the company the manufactured the vinyl street decals, GSG. "Though the first four compass decals are part of a pilot program, they’re designed each to be readable and decorative for years to come," says GSG president Ken Madsen. "Once the program is deemed a success, we look forward to producing the additional compass signage per the city’s needs.”
