There are signs everywhere, they try to sell us, they can provide information, they can warn us of hazards, they can make us laugh, and they can tug at our emotions. This week’s challenge asks you to share images of signs or billboards that strike your fancy.
Posted for John’s Lens-Artists Challenge
My husband is great at picking up signs and often points them to me, some I notice myself, but looking for double meaning in a sign – he masters that corner. Here are some signs I’ve spotted. Most of them need no explanations.
First I thought that don’t have any, but suddenly I noticed that I have several. And Once again I have posted too many, but as someone nicely said to me, it’s our blogs, we can post what we want or how many we want.
Found in San Francisco
Nevada signs
Hong Kong was heaven for sign spotting , above few samples and below from Goa, India
Above signs from all around. And the one below is very questionable why is in text below POLICE in brackets
Couple more sign on the move – these were spotted on the road in Australia.

A lovely collections of signs and the twoo vans at the end are awesome – LOL
Thanks, They are a great find 🙂 don’t see vans like that here 🙂
Same for Belgium Ritva 😉
Ritva, does your country have the saying “an embarrassment of riches”? It means you have more treasures than any one person is entitled to, and is very much a compliment. Your post reminded me of that saying. I loved all of your examples and had several favorites.ZZYXX road cracked me up. Who in heaven’s name thought of that?! The bird sign and Sorry I called you an A-hole both also made me laugh. Thanks for the smiles this morning!
Thanks Tina, we do have a similar one yes. And that road, come on, how do you even pronounce that 🙂
Love the Asshole one, and the Kingfisher Premium!
Kingfisher was a find 🙂
Certainly was!
What a variety!
Love every click!
Thank You.
🙂
You are welcome, my friend.
A wonderful collection, Ritva! I’ve never been to Zzyzx, but I have driven by the sign on I-15. Maybe someday I’ll take that detour just for fun.
I got a laugh out of the A-hole sign!
A hole seems to be liked and relatable
An interesting connection of signs. I had a good chuckle looking at some of them. 😄
Thanks, Glad to hear that. 🙂
What a collection of signs! Very fun and interesting. 🙂 🙂
Thanks Amy, I really tried for a variety
You fond some funny ones!!
Thanks Nora, glad if I was able to bring a smile to your face 🙂
GREAT signs. LOVE that banner shot. Who knew? EVERYONE!! 🙂
John… 😀
You got a great collection. It’s hard to pick a favorite, but the opening photo is tops!
A- hole has had that effect to most 🙂
That poor guy looking for easy cash back find it wasn’t quite so easy, I guess. I loved the Liz Taylor quote. The Kingfisher painting was pretty in it’s own way, wasn’t it? And with opposing views. All great, Ritva.
Thanks donna, the kingfisher is almost art in its current state
lol, oh my gosh! that Police slogan in brackets does not inspire any confidence in their help, to say the least 🙂
beautiful shots!

Thanks Archer, I know… who came up with that Idea 🙂
I am very happy to see that you remembered my humble advice about being the owner of your blog and shared so many gems from your collection 😀. Ah Kingfisher – the ubiquitous beer brand from India. The owner of United Breweries – the one that makes Kingfisher – is rather too fond of good times and is now absconding from Indian authorities for financial fraud and hiding in the UK 😬. Great selection of signs and some are hilarious 😀.
Thanks, well some other blogs are so lovely, had not to compare. Tony the owner – didn’t he own a F1 formula team at one point?
I wasn’t referring to Tony but to Mallya as the owner :). And yes, they also owned an F1 team.
🙂
Oh my, Ritva – these are priceless! I do believe I love them all and they can stand another look and another laugh!
Kind of you to say so, I did leave some rouchier
Can’t help myself. I love the Header one best.
It is a classic 😊
I love them ALL!
