Alongside the update to the Gateway Gifts signage, the 'Pin Traders and Camera Center' also has a new look.

The new signage follows the look of Gateway Gifts with shades of blue, backlit perimeter blue LED lighting and the updated font design.

The Nikon logo remains on the Camera Center sign.

The Pin Traders and Camera Center location was reopened in December 2019, with a new look both inside and outside. Those signs only lasted for just over 6 months before being replaced with the new look from this week.

Inevitable I know but still sad.

Even if people don’t like the new signs, the old ones needed to be updated. There’s a huge difference between preserving the ideals and inspiration of the original Epcot Center and clinging onto outdated elements from the ‘80s.

For example, if Horizons and Imagination had simply been updated, they’d still be great. Instead, Disney wasted millions of dollars destroying them for lackluster replacements; yet they never changed a cheap “Golden Girls”-era sign. *shrug*
Is it bad I like the new signs?
The new signs are fine. Nothing mind blowing but nothing disappointing. I liked the originals a lot but didn't get attached to them.

I agree. It was an original but it was also dated and ugly. Hopefully they will keep it somewhere until it becomes retro.

Because Nikon is a sponsor and its part of the deal ;)
This saddens me...for some reason

So what is currently in Computer Central? Im guessing that the old central control systems were broken up and put in each pavilion. That was an interesting space, based on my memories.

Central (the backstage one) became a store and work room, with a few systems still running intact. The onstage area (confusingly also known as Central)

You'd know the area when it closed as Guest Relations, a backstage corridor and Sum of All Thrills.
The shade of blue and font are nice. Nostalgia aside, I like the new signs.
