Signs, labels and organising the shop

Category signs carry an icon chosen from the game's own set.

Finding things in a big shop is a design problem in Supermarket Simulator: the game gives signs their own icon and colour controls and puts labels on racks.

The build also names price stands per department, with a deli, a green market, a liquor, a meat-and-dairy and a janitor's stand among them. (checked against the game's own files)
The shop's own signage runs to a closed sign, a sign board and a store entrance signboard, with a coloured version of the last. (checked against the game's own files)
A walk-lane sign is named among the shop's own signs. (checked against the game's own files)

In play

Signs are not decoration: the game lets you choose the icon and the colour a category sign carries, which is why a sign is a piece of information rather than a board.

Labels go on the racks themselves, so the shelf tells the customer what belongs there instead of leaving it to be discovered.

Even the shop's name can be set on an entrance sign, which is why the front of the shop is something you configure rather than accept.

What this entry does not tell you: how much signage changes customer behaviour or which icons exist. We have not verified those numbers, so we do not print them.
