signs (of hounds)

interesting two dogs on the same sign of quite differing styles.

andrew kindly sent me these photos of signs of south african hounds.
this one is very strict and informs us that you can’t utilise the garden if you are a dog.

this one meanwhile warns that transgressors will be prosecuted.
note the floating dog owner (possibly having eaten some of those magic plants shown next to (which you also can’t smoke according to the next one along).

here are a couple of dog signs from france from reader Wayne who’s from frankfurt, but from britain.
here’s a classic french dog with the round head top.
wayne writes: this sign has been around the block; noteworthy for almost random geometric shapes for body parts

and here’s some instructions on cleaning away its mess. the dog at the top looks good.
wayne writes: cleaning up after pooping; the pictures are worth 1000 words, which is just as well, cos I don’t understand the words

and here’s some skates he sent. i think the skateboard looks more like some menacing eyes.
wayne writes: stunningly accurate inline skate, and v basic skateboard, both banned. The sign is set in its own paving stone in the ground.

i’m always interested in new dogs signs, particularly when they offer a completely different graphical way of describing said quadropeded woof-ler.
this dog from Almeda has the strangest legs you’ve ever seen (and what a great background of windsurfers)

if you want to understand more about the detail (and why you can’t drink coctails on the beach) you’ll need to read the detail:

here is a dog sign from the recently remotivated Dan. He says:

Found this near Berkeley yesterday on a USA non-bank holiday. Note the rare head-on profile, not the side profile usually found on these signs. And those ears! And the disembodied hand! Hope you enjoy it!

it looks a bit like someone is trying to hit it with a fly swat.

this is quite a common dog sign, but it’s the positioning which we should note to be quite unusual. it’s at the top of some stairs leading to a bridge over a small road.
kezia was very excited so stood and pointed

what do all these thing REALLY mean here ?

look at this great no dog fouling sign from my long lost flat mate jeremy.
i like how they’ve used the word ‘refrain’ in the sentence. it’s usually ‘please refrain from letting your dog …’. here you’ve simply got to ‘refrain your dog’
but the highlight of the sign is the accuracy of the fine formula. truely this sign was created by a mathematician
.

look at this dog. i’ve featured him before both here and here but not in such detail. the eyes are baaaad eyes. he’s not happy about not being let in.
he’s also had his head chopped off (note the red line which goes under the dog, but we can clearly see it through its gaping neck hole).
not a nice sign.

here’s a sign from the belgian design museum. you’d expect it to be good, but this is most excellent.

they had two giant posters of airport signage on display in a special exhibition but there was no photography inside which was a shame. you’ll just have to visit yourself.
not visit yourself. visit the museum. visiting yourself would be slightly odd. unless you were a timetraveller. but even that would be odd, unless you were going forward in time in which case you’d already know you were a timetraveller and it would be less odd.
but what is this ? a cat with its eyes closed drinking through a straw ?

here’s a funny old thing. there were three rows of fences stopping people dropping off the edge of this cliff.
and on the furthest one away, right over the drop is a dog sign !
