SIGNS : ???

The main purpose of signage is communication, to convey information such that its receiver can make cognitive decisions based on the information provided. I love the graphics of the signs above, but the message is failing to happen (it is not them, it is me).  (the signs are explained HERE)

SIGNS : balantly invisible

ONE HOMAGE TO WITTGENSTEIN - University of Cambridge , Casimir Lewy Library of Philosophy and internal courtyard of Raised Faculty Building, Sidgwick Site (originally part of Text&Context)

Guerilla signs on London underground

Amusing, how signs - in their conventional design - melt into the surroundings and become invisible. It takes some effort to spot those. Not unlike the high-vis vest.

And then high-vis clothing pulled off its greatest trick: it disappeared. Signifying no particular profession, it conveys very little information about its wearer beyond “I am working”. Photographers and activists swear by the high-vis vest as a way of avoiding the attention of the police. And criminals don’t just wear them after they’ve been caught: scrap-metal thieves routinely wear the vests to pose as workmen, and the robbers in the 2006 Securitas depot robbery, the biggest cash heist in British history, wore high-vis jackets. It has sunk into the visual background noise of our culture – high-visibility gear is a modern invisibility cloak. (from Icon, October, 2010)

SIGNS : ??? : the answers

The signs in SIGNS : ??? are

KALBETIS SU VAIRUOTOJU DRAUDŽIAMA

(it is forbidden to talk to the driver)

and

VIETA SU VAIKU

(a place with a child -  i.e meaning  for passengers with young children, I suppose, and not a seat that comes with a child attached to it.)
