There are clear differences between signage systems and wayfinding systems in terms of function, form, and application.
From a functional point of view, the identification system mainly plays the role of information communication and brand promotion, which conveys information about brands, products or services to people through graphics, words and other elements. Wayfinding systems, on the other hand, focus more on guidance and directions, using elements such as arrows and signage to provide people with directions, locations, and distances.
In terms of form, the identification system usually exists in a static form, which appears on the product, packaging or promotional material in a fixed position and size, in the form of text and graphics. The wayfinding system is more flexible, it can exist in a dynamic form, such as an electronic display, audio guide, etc., or it can exist in a static form, such as signs, maps, etc.
