From Argentina to New Jersey, 4 more emotionally intelligent signs
Those emotionally intelligent signs keep pouring in to the Pink Blog. Below are four from the last few weeks that our elves especially liked.
Clare Conroy offers a nice example from a JB Hi-Fi store in Canberra, Australia, of how to use signage to empathize with guests and change the experience of being in a space:
Federico Sfrégola of Buenos Aires sends our first spray-painted sign, which he saw in Rosario, Argentina. It’s not exactly empathetic, but it is emotional and, no doubt, effective. Translation: No parking please. Beware! I have more paint.
Driving the streets of Morristown, New Jersey, Michele Russo found this one, which instructs drivers how to pass a Stanley Foam truck:
And Jay Kim, a systems engineer at NASA, shares how one teacher tried to limit student texting in her classroom:
I like the one about texting. I think the smiley face at the end makes it “cute” and not “mean.” 🙂

Lovely…thanks
I was once organising a signing conference in Sydney called “Where Am I?”
Happy Xmas and a sensational 2012…The Chinese Year of the Dragon and it will be much celebrated in our quarter of the world.

Haha. Nice one, Dan.
I wish you used Disqus for your commenting system.
I’m always hesitant to comment. But I had to do so for this one. Loved the truck sign!
I like the truck. I saw a similar one: passing side and suicide.
