It’s often the details that count. In Amsterdam’s Schipohl Airport, the monitors showing departures and the signs showing the way to the gates both display not only the gate number, but also how long it takes to get to that gate from where you’re standing. Considering how large Schipohl is and that it takes over 30 minutes to walk to many gates, this is extremely useful. A good example of not only designing to make something look good, but also designing with the brain.
