A color photo of a dirt road entering from the lower left and curving toward the left disappearing at center frame. Lots of green shrubs and trees line the road indicating the road is entering a riparian area. A diamond shaped yellow caution sign is seen in the upper right. It warns, "Flooded." But somebody has written above the word flooded, "My mind is." And below the word flooded, "with questions." Thus the whole sign reads, "My mind is flooded with questions."

“I think it is a testament to London’s diversity that its iconic typeface was originally designed by an immigrant, and updated by another (twice: Albertus Nova and this typeface), which I am extremely proud of, regardless of how small my contribution may be.”

London Street Signs author Alistair Hall tells the story of Toshi Omagari’s refresh of the City of London’s (COL) typeface, COL Sign.

Uppercase and lowercase alphabets, plus numerals and special characters set as a graphic titled "COL SIGN" to show the key characters in the typeface.

Signs on stamps; what's not to like.

As part of the centenary celebrations for Route 66 the United States Postal Service is issuing this series of stamps that prominantly feature neon and motel signs.

I'd love to know if this is a first, or if signs on stamps have been done before?

Sheet of eight Route 66 themed stamps. In addition to neon and motel signs shown in daylight and at night there is one of a vintage car driving the road, one showing a retro gas pump, and another of a large colonial era building that's probably famous in the USA, but which I'm not familiar with.

A warning sign. It depicts one stick-figure man preparing to club another over the head with a large, heavy cathode-ray-tube computer monitor. A caption reads, “you are being monitored.”

Love this little addition to a Strong Winds warning sign I spotted near the Rest And Be Thankful during a quick hillwalking trip to the Arrochar Alps yesterday. However, I failed to find the plaque marking the spot where the fictional Barry from EastEnders was pushed to his death by the equally fictional Janine. Scotland has some weird stuff!
