Shanghai Diaries_18/07/2019

Station name signage on the platform level in Shanghai Metro, that started appearing towards late March 2019. It seems they are going about it slowly as there are quite a few stations where I haven't seen them yet. Overall, decently done and they definitely catch one's eye.

Some stations receive unique treatment, like the signage in Middle Huaihai Road although I fail to understand the lack of consistency overall, in terms of the design language as well as the materiality.
