Modern ice cream van seen from the back left - white with red edges, painted with Disney characters which are all ... slightly off. It's remarkable how unsettling they are.

For #saturdaySignage - from earlier today! An ice cream van complete with the archetypal Slightly Off Disney Characters...

Do listen to John Finnemore's take on it - and realise just how accurate he was: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lray-9F1WP4 […]

[Original post on pixelfed.hylobatidae.org]

Laminated paper notice on centre of teal, windowed door, edges curled - "OFFICE - NO RADIOACTIVE MATERIAL ALLOWED" with the OFFICE and the word NO both underlined...

For #saturdaySignage - I've no idea what event warranted that underlining beneath the 'NO', but it was clearly serious enough...

(From the #TRIUMF cyclotron, #VancouverBC, Canada - August 2012.)

Lower left corner of a retroreflective street sign, brown with a grey-white border and text - with five truncated 'DO NOT' messages visible. Behind the sky, a blank concrete wall and a bright overcast sky.

For #saturdaySignage - whatever you do, don't!

#Nevada side of the #HooverDam, July 2013.

Hanging from the branch of a small apple tree - a white laminated sign, reading 'Please DO NOT Pick the apples'.

Behind some small flowering plants in plastic pots in a tray, written in chalk on a rectangular piece of slate - 'Please KEEP OFF'.

For #saturdaySignage - some politely aggressive (aggressively polite?) signage from #VancouverIsland, #Canada - October 2017.

(I have a wide selection of overly polite Canadian signage...)

A muddy, shallow bank covered with rough, short grass - leading into quiet water reflecting a blank sky, with a small sign emerging from the water - a black-lined yellow triangle with a pictographic person not waving, but drowning, and the word 'DANGER' below, merging with its own reflection.

Also for #saturdaySignage - from #CarsingtonWater, #Derbyshire - March 2025.

Rectangular road sign, brown with grey-white text: "Historic Life-Saving Station Cemetery" with an arrow to the right, at the side of a road with a grassy hill, dark trees and a hazy sky behind.

I have ... many photos of off-kilter signs, which I've been idly trying to find an excuse to share. So, equipped with the imaginatively alliterative #saturdaySignage hashtag whatsit, here's the first - from #PointReyes, #California back in June 2015...
