For most sign projects, the most important goal is the clear conveyance of a message.

That message delivered could be as simple as that of a stop sign or as complex as a building-wide mural that may require a few extra seconds (or minutes) to properly grasp its true intentions.

Often, a sign’s message is in the eye of the beholder. And sometimes, that beholder absorbs that message a bit too literally – and occasionally way too literally. Nonetheless, always remember to come to a complete standstill at a stop sign.

The temptation was just too strong.

Justice League heroes await their comrade in arms.

He took one for the tandem.

This guy is probably a lawyer.

Not the most accessible smoking area, but that didn’t stop this guy.

It’s what you do after the area gives you paw.

A most appropriate mascot.

A sight that will make for sore eyes.

Except for this.

Where one goes to observe one’s navel.

If you watched the Bill Stickers true crime documentary on Netflix, you’d think so too.

Can you name them all?
