'Some signs closely resembled existing signage in the park while others used new illustrations or more vernacular language. ... The “sad bear” illustration was one of their most effective signs, reducing the odds of speeding at the start of the corridor by 35%. Meanwhile, the cub crossing sign had the greatest effect on reckless drivers in the corridor.'

I'm not normally a fan of leaning too heavily on words to make images interesting. But heck, there are exceptions to every rule, eh?

So here are some signs I have liked.

A battered, boarded-up old shopfront. The rusted shutters are down, and the windows covered in a mixture of plywood and OSB. The only hint at the shop's former contents is a sign over the door which reads simply: Slush £1An Edinburgh new town flat, formal of design but worse for wear after what look like perhaps a few unhappy years. The windows are broken and boarded up on the inside. Above the door is a sign:

Rod Stewart Fan ClubA woman strolls down a fairly soulless and largely empty small-town American street on a hot sunny day. The large sign to her left reads:

D&D House of bar-b-queA hand-painted sign from a rooftop terrace of a hotel in Udaipur, India. The sign reads:

Today movie show
Octopussy

Tomorrow
Octopussy

There are blank spaces for other movie titles to be added, but it's clear that they never are.

Comic showing the pilots in the cockpit of a large airplane. Outside, Snoopy is sitting on his doghouse wearing his flyer's cap and scarf, flying past. One pilot says to the other, "We're not reporting that."

Caption says it was originally published on 26 November 2012, and a caption reads, "Happy Birthday, Charles M. Schulz!"

Photo of a lost dog poster. Except that this one has two photos of an adorable brown and black dog, and unexpected text. 

Above the photos, the poster reads, "Have you seen this dog?

Below the photos, it reads, "Now you have. Have a GOOD day."

Below this are the standard sideways thin papers you usually rip off with phone numbers on them, but this one has only the phrase "Have a great day!" on each of them.

In the background blue skies, muddy river and green trees. In the foreground more green trees. In front of all that closest to us, at the right of the frame, an abused tin sign on a pole. It has been painted and painted over numerous times with people’s names and phrases in different colours. There’s the vague remnants of a bicycle from the original sign that have been turned into eyes; a crazed wide open black painted dripping mouth below creates a manic visage.

A piece of 8x11 paper is taped over the face of a coffee machine. The paper reads:

This Machine is out of Order!

YES - We have called the servicemen

YES - He should be in today

NO - We can not fix it

NO - We do not know how long it will take

NO - We do not know what caused it

Proper hyphens can make or break signage.
