Have you ever wondered what civilization would be like without signs? Without diamond-shaped boards that warn us to give way or brightly colored banners informing us about the meal deal of our lifetime? My best guess would probably be chaos. In fact, you wouldn’t be reading this article right now, as language is an intricate system made up of many signs and symbols. 

Indeed, the world would be very different than it is today if it weren’t for cavemen and cavewomen and their primitive drawings 20,000 years ago. To rekindle our appreciation for signs and everything they represent in our society, Bored Panda has gathered a list of some of the most genius and interesting ones down below. Be sure to upvote the placards that perhaps taught you something new, and don’t forget to share the coolest ones you have come across, dear Pandas!

While you're at it, make sure to check out a conversation with Bryant Gillespie, designer and founder of Better Sign Shop, a growth platform for sign and print shops, who kindly agreed to answer a few questions all about signs.

To learn more about signs and how they're made, we reached out to Bryant Gillespie, designer, and founder of Better Sign Shop, a growth platform for sign and print shops.

He told us that what inspired him to pursue a career in sign-making was a combination of love for design, solving challenges, and tinkering. "I’ve always been fascinated by how signs can influence behavior and convey important information quickly and effectively.

I also just kind of fell into it after moving to a different part of the country. Being able to apply many different disciplines—design, printing, construction/fabrication, electrical – along with the creativity involved appeals to a lot of us sign geeks."

    "The sign-making process typically starts with understanding the client's needs and the message they want to convey," he explains. "This is followed by brainstorming and sketching design ideas. Once a concept is chosen, we move on to digital design, selecting materials, and finally, production.

    To attract attention, signs should have a clear message, bold colors, and readable fonts. To educate, they should be informative yet concise. To amuse, incorporating humor or clever visuals can be very effective."

    Gillespie believes that signs absolutely play a crucial role in our society. "They guide us, inform us, and sometimes even entertain us. From road signs that ensure our safety to informational signs that help us navigate spaces, their impact is significant. They also serve as powerful tools for branding and marketing, helping businesses attract customers and communicate their values."

    The earliest signs created by humans, as far as historians can tell, date back to the Stone Age, 18,000 BC. Our ancestors drew symbols on cave walls to visually express that they had products for trade or barter.

    Some experts call this symbolic advertising to other tribes, with visualizations of hunted wild animals, pots, and arrows dating back 40,000 to 45,000 years.

    It's a big thing in the UK. Every March many, many Common Toads return to their breeding grounds and get squished on the roads. Local groups save hundreds of thousands of them by simply carrying them across the road. We have Toad tunnels too.

    One night in Brisbane Queensland back in the 70s, there was a cane toad migration that was crossing the road. Everyone just drove over them, justifying it because they are not a native species and are completely out of control, and 2) they are poisonous. Every year there you would read about kids in hospital because they didn't know. Still, the squish-pop-squish as hard to take. I think we found an alternate route.

    In early civilization, about 800–500 BC, craftspeople in Ancient Egypt painted and carved symbols on terracotta, stone, brick, and wood to advertise their services and stand out from others. Typically, they would be found in marketplaces, temples, and other public spaces. Later, they were discovered in the ruins of Pompeii and other cities.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    Meanwhile, the Ancient Greeks used signs to communicate with citizens who couldn’t read. Many of them remain to this day, like the staff of Hermes, which often hangs on the corners of pharmacies, or the goddess Demeter, who symbolizes grain, bread, and harvest. In the Roman Empire, widely used signs were made from wood, brick, stone, and marble.

    Things gained momentum in medieval Europe about 1000 AD–1700. This was influenced by the economic and cultural revival that opened new trade opportunities. Craftsmen began using unique, identifiable signs to differentiate themselves to customers. Business owners would hang the emblems on poles. They were more popular than letters, as the majority of the population was illiterate.

    Not just in Istanbul. It's common across the country and one of the reasons why we have so many strays.

    Interestingly, in 1389, England’s King Richard III ordered all taverns and ale houses in the country to display outdoor signs so the monarch would be able to easily locate them for quality testing. That’s why so many pubs nowadays still use signs from the 15th century.

    Had a Gym above my sales office in a luxury Resort. EVEN WITH a sign saying do not drop weights they would. So after a couple times (and looks from the Check in desk) I would go up and point to the sign and say: This sign reads please do not drop the weights (enunciating like they don't know how to read) AND add, if necessary call for help and I (almost 60 female) can assist you in lowering them and helping you acquire less heavy weights.

    So, I started reading about a group not mentioned in this article - those who were once called "Eskimos". Using “Eskimo” today is considered pejorative or derogatory simply because “eater of raw meat” is not how Inuit choose to refer to themselves, and they never did. The word is an exonym—a name given to a group by another group—and its continued use can perpetuate harmful stereotypes. To my way of thinking, humans are similar to dogs, in that there are so many variations. All dogs are dogs, all people are humans. Speaking totally scientifically.

    I use Native Americans/or tribal name, if I know it. Indians are people from India. Indigenous comes from the Latin word indigena, which means “sprung from the land; native.” Therefore, using “Indigenous” over “Aboriginal” reinforces land claims and encourages territory acknowledgements, a practice which links Indigenous Peoples to their land and respects their claims over it. Also, the term Aborigine has acquired a negative connotation over the years (because of White people.) Indians are people from India. Native Americans is accepted, even better if you know the tribe, is to use that name. Points for using the correct pronunciation per the tribes language.

    "NortherN!" There's an "N" involved. And the color and shape of the sign should convey its meaning.

    Here in NC if you have a cat or dog bite you have to go the ER so you can get the first rabies shot and then to Urgent Care for the rest of the rabies shots. Animal control in the county the animal is in is called so they can go to the owners house or if it's a stray to pick it. Up.

    Getting bitten by a cat, particularly a feral one, will nearly always result in an infection which may sometimes develop into life-threatening septicaemia. Edit: yes, I wasn't suggesting you should go to the ER with it.

    The red color represents drawing blood to cure diseases or infections. White symbolizes a stick that a person would hold to make the veins more prominent during the procedure so they would be easier to find. As for the blue stripe, some attribute it to the colors of the American flag, while in Europe it may have differentiated barbers from doctors.

    There is a species that migrates through Austin, TX during the time of year when a local wild berry is ripe. They eat the partially fermented fruit, get drunk and fly into the windows knocking themselves unconscious. Our security guards watch for them and move the stunned birds out of sight so they can sober up in private and avoid the embarrassing flight of shame when they wake up.

    With the growth of cities and populations, outdoor signage significantly increased in number, and English law required every establishment to have one. Signs illuminated with candles were also just appearing before electricity was invented. By the 18th century, the placards had become larger and heavier than ever, marking the start of the painted storefront emblems outside businesses.

    Finally, we reach modern history, when companies grew bigger, as did the need to grab the attention of consumers. With newly discovered commercial printing and the revolution of sign design, it became a new art form. The invention of gas and electric power was also a game-changer, as signs could be visible at night too.

    Signs like this attract your attention where a ‘wait 30 seconds’ one doesn’t. We have odd speed limits on some construction and industrial sites, they’ll be 13mph or 17mph, you are so conditioned into seeing and not acknowledging the regular signs that you encounter. When you spot a ‘31 seconds’ sign your brain says ‘that’s a very specific amount of time, how odd’, that means you either accept that you have to wait or even better you see a challenge and you actually count the seconds, either way you stop, it’s done its job!

    Interesting thing about eye injuries: this should probably be plural "eyes". We don't know why, but when eyes become damaged, and antigens that are usually found exclusively inside the eye are suddenly outside, the immune system recognises them as foreign and not only latches onto them, but the ones in the perfectly healthy eye too. It's why eye injuries are ALWAYS dealt with very, very quickly - not necessarily because the damaged eye can be saved, but to try and prevent autoimmune damage to the other eye and thus total blindness.

    Very interesting; didn't know that! For some reason the past three years I've scratched my cornea at the beginning of Spring (probably pollen, then rubbed eye - so don't do that!) I'll be more proactive to see the eye doctor when/if I do that again. Thanks for posting that!

    Funny, but there is a reason. It is basically letting people know that in the future the "rules" of that intersection are going to change. I'm sure some person making the laws thought it was important to warn people of such a fact.

    This is a very good idea! There are major safety considerations any time a new sign or road layout is implemented. It is the time of greatest danger. People forget, or are driving on automatic, and don't think/see the sign. But by having the 'new sign arriving soon' sign, it gives people time to get used to it, and it cuts down on the accidents.

    Anyone in my town can ask for a stop sign but they have to pay to have a sign like this put up sixty days before the real one is installed. Anyone can then contact the city to refute it/support it. If there are more refute it calls, it doesn't go up. This allows people to identify intersections they think need one but prevents someone living on a corner from messing up local traffic.

    The logic is a $100 temp sign is cheaper for the city than a 60 day paid study of the intersection.

    Giving notice is a great idea. My town suddenly put up a stop sign in the middle of a blind curve because there was a side street nearby. There were so many accidents from people slamming on their brakes at the last second and getting hit from behind.

    See, that's where advanced notice signs should be given. If someone doesn't know the area, that's just daft. There's a highway near me where the speed limit suddenly drops from 70 to 50 mph, just past the crest of a hill. There is literally no way to safely slow down in the distance from being able to see the sign and the sign itself. Advanced warnings should be mandatory where the sign is not readily visible from a reasonable reactionary distance. They do exist in the UK (mostly in Scotland, but I've seen them elsewhere), but they are still unusual. I can't decide if it's a "we haven't got the funding" excuse, or a "no one in power actually has a clue what they're doing" excuse. Or both. It's probably both. (But they have the money to waste millions on stupid schemes that do absolutely nothing to help anyone)

    Had to do a bit of digging, but in fact the binary is UTF-8 code for the Original Chinese/Japanese characters at the top, and yes, it and the Korean translation are apparently based on the Neil Armstrong quote of "one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind". Odd that they chose a completely different text for the English version.

    First off, no you are not stupid. Its a good question. The answer is the placement of the light sources (2 of them) happens to be located in a way that the shadow reflected from each “r” ends up on top of each other. Im actually more confused as to why at least some off the letters does not have 2 shadows. Im inclined to think that the shadows on the wall is created by a light source outside the picture.

    Wonder if it is in an area that experiences a high tidal range. It could be that at low tide the sign is fully out of the water, and a warning is required. At Mont Saint-Michel, Normandy, France, there can be a 15m difference between high and low tide.

    It's worrying that it happens so often they need a sign. Maybe put a fence up at the top to save the cattle?

    It’s open range. There are no fences.

    Could be a falling rock in the shape of a cow.

    It's a falling rock sign that has been humorously altered by graffiti. I've been seeing pictures of this sign for at least 45 years. Still funny.

    This morning I heard about a cow on the highway; 3-car accident avoiding the cow. (made me think about the kid's book "There's a Cow in the Road" :) Two hours later a bull was loose in the same area! Methinks someone should check their fences... (and yes, I thought about saying I "herd" about them :)

    They're not charging enough. A neighbor in my building ate a durian fruit one morning last November. A group of chefs came home at 5 AM and decided to crack one of these open. They are two floors down, but my entire apartment smelled like rotten eggs and burnt onions. I left the windows open with fans blowing while I went to work, came home and it still reeked. I had to wash the walls/ceiling/floor down with lavender and vinegar to get the smell out.

    We once had a gas alarm going off, followed by evacuation of a part of the office building. Maintenance guy ate a Durian in a quite corner of the basement, next to the Server Rooms. Security guys were not amused.

    This seems counter-productive. You are driving, moving fairly quickly & trying to keep your eyes on the road. Many likely only see the "89" and not the top half. A big read strike over it (a la no-smoking signs) would go a long way, though.

    We had a DPD driver who used to make barking sounds to wind our dog (28kg/62lb AmStaff) up, and she’d respond. My wife was getting very annoyed at this because we like her calm. So, when I answered the door, the fella started “barking”. I just told him that, if he carried on, I’d let the dog out. He went very pale and shut up.

    In this context, “no wake” means “don’t drive so fast through the flooded street that you make waves”….but that’s too much to fit on a sign. You see signs like this in boating areas near a lot of residences so as to prevent waves from rolling on the property and/or disturbing fish or other water life.

    The dog is probably some type of herding dog. They try to round up or corral anything that's moving near 'their' territory, including people walking, skateboarders, bicycles, cars, other animals, etc.

    Agreed. I have a good friend that is a tree surgeon. He might be 40ft up a tree with a chainsaw, and people walking too close could possibly be at risk of heavy branches falling on them. These signs are important.

This refers to when a coach or teammate sits off to the side of a batter and softly tosses a ball underhand in front of the batter, who then hits the ball off a fence or into a net."

    I wouldn't be surprised if this is in Canada. We switch between them depending on context all the time. Not unusual for short distances like a person's height to be in imperial while longer distances are in metric. Or weather-related temperature to be Celsius while oven temperatures are Fahrenheit. And so on.

    You should be grateful to the owner for warning you that he/she is a gun nut. Note that if a person has "lawfully concealed carry weapon" you will most likely never know that they have one. Not having a sign like this doesn't imply you are walking into a place where no guns are.

    It's for a programming job. Most smart programmers these days use version control software, which helps you keep track of when you made changes & why & makes it easy to roll back to earlier dates if you break something. The most popular of these is called "git", and the git website shows this graphic for how often you push new changes to your various projects. Bonus points, the more prolific you are the more green there is, so the more likely you are to recognize this - showing that you have useful skills they want!
