Maybe they were confused… I know I was confused when I had to go through LAX!
But it does seem a bit much.

The question mark is a universal icon for info or help desk. It’s an international airport. I like it. I think Massimo would be proud. Modernist style maps like this aren’t as easy to pull off as they look.

I agree Judith, I think they just ran out of icon ideas and needed to fill the space.

I think the use of 1 well placed question mark would of been just as effective.

The ?’s make sense to me… If these are stacked on a counter or in trays and displays around the airport, confused and lost customers are going to be drawn to the ?’s because a ? means HELP. Symbols 101, right?

Maybe he couldn’t think of anymore icons and filled the spaces with question marks. Looks good though, there is something very beautiful in the simplicity of icons especially on a clean white background and I’m loving the map!
