Signs are an efficient and economical way of communication. Consider for a moment what our lives would be like without them. We might of ended up with a bum full of cactus needles or slammed into an elephant in the dark. Without signs, chaos at intersections, fliers wandering endlessly through airports in search of their flights, mailmen in search of the addressees, trespassers shot. Signs make our lives easier, and at other times, keep us safe and alive.

So today we’re giving a big thanks to millions of signs across the land. Thank you, signs, job well done!
