The Glico Running Man sign is an iconic symbol of Osaka, Japan, located in the Dotonbori district. First installed in 1935, this massive neon billboard has undergone several updates to reflect the evolving times. It features a triumphant runner crossing a finish line, symbolizing health and energy, aligning with the Glico confectionery company's ethos. The vivid LED lights illuminate the figure, adding a dynamic visual to the urban landscape at night. Situated above the Dotonbori Canal, the sign is a favorite backdrop for photos, with its bright colors reflecting on the water below. The current version, updated in 2014, showcases state-of-the-art LED technology while retaining the original design's timeless appeal. The surrounding area is lined with similarly eye-catching advertisements, creating a unique visual experience that defines the neighborhood's aesthetic. The Glico sign remains a cherished part of Osaka's cultural identity, drawing visitors eager to capture its glow and significance.
High above the streets of Crewe is this signing advertising a long defunct restaurant. In more recent times the building housed the Steam nightclub but is now derelict. I would love to know more about Kettell's but have so far found no information.
If you are in need of a sign to point you in the right direction, look no further than Fort Macleod, Great vintage signs full of character every where you turn. I took loads but had no wish to bore you endlessly with one after another, so I have mish-mashed a few of my favourites together. Sorry if this hurts your eyes...lol
Fort Macleod is a town in the southwest corner of the province of Alberta, Canada. It is named in honour of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Colonel James Macleod. Fort Macleod was recently chosen from 30 communities as the site for the proposed Alberta Police and Peace Officer Training Center, which is expected to cause an economic boom in the region.
The town grew on the location of the Fort Macleod North West Mounted Police Barracks, the first outpost of the North West Mounted Police in Western Canada, established in 1874 on an island on the Oldman River, then moved in 1884 to the actual town location. The Museum of the North West Mounted Police is located in Fort Macleod.
Heritage Canada started a Main Street Restoration Project in 1982, aiming to preserve the sandstone and brick buildings, some dating back to 1878.

Big ol' (3.5' x 5') thick coated cardboard SNOBOY Sunkist Lemons sign from the 1950s. Screen printed with neon yellow (and other colors). Double sided with an advert for canned tomatoes (not nearly as fun of an image).
I regularly passed this sign at break neck speed on my way to work. One day I took my Canon T90 and stopped to capture the wonderful early morning light. k/chrome 64

Ésta encantadora chica le compró la Dal Heiwa a su ¿hija? y me pidieron que se la firmase ^_^
This lovely girl bought Dal Heiwa for her (daughter?) and asked me to sign the backplate ^_^
Sign in front of the Battle House at Rocky Mount Mills. Reads "Est. 1818 - Light Department - Main Office."
A Larger view to see them better?
When you are asked, "What is the first thing that comes to your mind when I say 'Washington, DC'", what would you say?
Washington Monument?
The Capitol?
White House?
Memorials?
National Mall?
Smithsonial Institute?
Well I think I would say Traffic Chaos. There are so many diversions and roadblocks that even if you have lived your entire life there in the neighborhood you have a good chance of getting lost. I was lost, driving and I was in front of a road block barricade and an officer next to it. I asked him for directions and he kindly gave me the same. The directions involved crossing a one-way street. Unbeknowest to that officer, there was another one in my way, right in the middle of the road, parked car with lights on asking me to turn around. Thanks to the One way, I couldnt get back to the same place again to ask to be rerouted (I should have taken the $10.99 GPS offer). Bottom line? Lets say, I saw the entire DC driving around in a couple of hours, unintentionally :D
The signs above were all photographed on the same morning, while walking around the downtown and tourist areas of DC. On the background is Washington Monument.
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

I could see a pretty good looking sunset developing last night so I went down by the airport to set up and take a few shots. With about 15 minutes before the show started the clouds almost disappeared and I was left with just a couple low hanging clouds. Then right where I wanted to take my sunset shots there was this sign in my way. Somebody did not want me there!
This reminded me of a song by the group Five Man Electric Band "Signs"

And the sign said "Long-haired freaky people need not apply"
So I tucked my hair up under my hat and I went in to ask him why
He said "You look like a fine upstanding young man, I think you'll do"
So I took off my hat, I said "Imagine that. Huh! Me workin' for you!"
Whoa-oh-oh
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
And the sign said anybody caught trespassin' would be shot on sight
So I jumped on the fence and-a yelled at the house, "Hey! What gives you
the
right?"
"To put up a fence to keep me out or to keep mother nature in"
"If God was here he'd tell you to your face, Man, you're some kinda sinner"
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
Now, hey you, mister, can't you read?
You've got to have a shirt and tie to get a seat
You can't even watch, no you can't eat
You ain't supposed to be here
The sign said you got to have a membership card to get inside
Ugh!
[Lead Guitar]
And the sign said, "Everybody welcome. Come in, kneel down and pray"
But when they passed around the plate at the end of it all, I didn't have a
penny to pay
So I got me a pen and a paper and I made up my own little sign
I said, "Thank you, Lord, for thinkin' 'bout me. I'm alive and doin' fine."
Wooo!
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
