…how do watches get a specific mention but earrings and necklaces do not?! Tells me a lot about the implicit assumptions of the signmakers, that.
Now that's a safety sign.

the grip this font seemingly has on an entire generation of signmakers never fails to blow my mind

Please sir, my trees, they are neon.

They keep getting chopped down by signmakers.
Please sir, my ladies, they are barenaked

George Soros better get more proficient signmakers because they all look to be handmade to my eyes!

SIX.

Arial in public

It's visual pollution and yet remains the default typeface for signmakers all over the Latin alphabet world. I'd make it illegal.

Any signmakers?
I need one of these in my yard.
These signs should be on every hiking trail in Oregon and across the US

One last hurrah for 2025 🥳 I’ve got a photo essay about street lettering in India, and the importance of centering signmakers and their communities in conversations about letterforms in public spaces in this month’s The Caravan caravanmagazine.in/arts/sign-ma...

I loved loved the interviews with the signmakers, especially with Mohanlal Sinai!

Signmakers get rich!

But at least the gas station signmakers will be big winners when stations will have to retrofit their signs to display double digit prices.
For the first time ever, GasBuddy data showing average diesel prices have risen above $8 per gallon in San Francisco, CA- the first ever U.S. city to reach the $8 mark ever.-GasBuddy

Yup. Good advice in general.

“Those who expect little are seldom disappointed.”

Nonetheless, burn in hell, all you professional signmakers who use apostrophes wrong. 🔥

they would rather put money towards paying protest coordinators and signmakers instead of educating the public on how to get proper voter credentials....🙄🙄🙄

Fascinating visit to @lb-southwark.bsky.social Copeland Rd depot to meet our signmakers, learn about the new electric fleet and ways to reduce the carbon footprint of street lighting. But the absolute highlights were learning to weld and my own name plate in the style of our street signs!

Trump told us: he will only hire the best signmakers.
