Any well-crafted signs in SL (NOT spinning cubes)?

Everyone is familiar with the spinning "For Sale" cubes and rectangular billboards, but has anyone seen (or created) more attractive or creative signage? Something that is attractive to look at?

I made CaveCub Milk and Gyro Zaftig a sign that scrolls textures across one side of it. You just make your own messages as a texture, stick it in the sign's inventory, and put a few settings on a notecard. Then the sign will scroll the message. You can set the color, speed, and duration of each message using settings on the notecard. You can take a look at it over at Tranquility Cove (40, 82).

Well ... I liked Anshe Chung's little Chinese-style signs ...

Really? I've actually never seen one.

I'll point to Blue Linden's work on the Welcome Area signs as something very sign-excellent in SL. As far as resident goes work, there's plenty of that too, even though they might not be "signs" in the strictest sense: Camie Cooper's "It's All Good" header for her store looks marvellous, Enabran Templar has done beautiful packaging work for his siegeBot's crate, some of the MetaAdverse billboards I certainly warm up to, and some of the inworld logos that are uniquely a part of the SL experience like Gigas Group's and The Coffee Scene @ the SL Public Library (which you know about, Olympia) all qualify to me.

I've been accused by some of making nice signs. Though when I place them on spinning cubes it's at the customers request.

Finding land for sale by Anshe is easy. Finding that sign is hard. I looked all over. I think she must have stopped using it. I think the land next to me has a really pretty sign. Made me want to look at it to see what it was. That is how I found out it was a for sale sign.

Clark Ambassador has made some nice banners for the Herald site, which I have also used for in-world signs. I don't have pics handy, but the "Science Fiction Desk" sign on Budka Groshomme's office at the Walkering Media Center in Louise sim is really excellent work.

Carson Hadlee makes awesome signs and does custom work.

Here's a sign I constructed on a build I'm working on... The theme of the build is sort of Old West ghost town meets Las Vegas strip.

SL Boutique has very sleek signs with muted colours and dramatic single av poses. I like the fact that they don't assault the eyes, but still grab your attention.


Indigo's Mourning After store has one out front.

I once had a great idea for a sign that wasn't a sign, a bird trailing a long hovertext saying IM PROKOFY NEVA FOR SALES.

Racer Gullwing made me this raven and it was great.

Then Kim Anubis made me a kind of stone tablet that was an alternative type of sign to the usual.

Nothing beats sales promotion coming from big spinning colourful cubes though, sorry.

Recently had a chance to test this. Due to one flyer's ardent complaints, I removed some big 4 x 4 or so white cubs that were rentomatics doubling as a for-rent sign. I put in transparent, low-to-the-ground, nearly invisible pictured cubes that are almost indistiguahsable from the ground. Sales are at $0. When I had the white cubes, it was better.

Sad, but true.

Nearly invisible? Thats a fair test. Obviously people must like the big glaring cubes better because they aren't responding to the INVISIBLE ONES. Come on, have you tried tasteful yet visible? I bet that would work out better than invisible.

I think the most attractive signs are the simplest ones without the spinning particle attacks and other such garbage. I think our SexGirls sign is very nice as it shows you the two Sex Girls with a plain and simple message. My modesty prevents me from showing it here but go see it at Grizedale (219, 104).
