Maybe it would be smart to go for absolute minimalism at this point?

Answer

Placing the sign at eye level or slightly above the crowd helps me ensure it's visible even when it's busy.

Incorporating symbols or icons for universal understanding can enhance recognition. High-visibility materials, like reflective or illuminated elements, along with strategic Hot-Schedules placement at eye-level or overhead, would ensure the signage captures attention even in busy environments.

Answer

Why not make it interactive? Adding motion, light or sound can make it impossible to ignore, even in a crowded space.
