WTF Wednesday: First Edition

Live Oak Market

WTF, Live Oak Market?? Do you WANT me to stab myself in the eyes?

I’m not going to waste a keystroke on discussing how f*cked up this sign is. Instead, I will show you 3 signs that are better than this one.

Let's make a deal

What a deal! A hand-drawn sign gets your message across while providing a little flair of personality. An added bonus is that your customers will generally be forgiving of occasional inaccuracies.

Which way did they go?

Sometimes a good sign doesn't need words at all. A clear set of graphics indicates just as much as words can. I am very clear on what I should do here: Ram into the signs or turn around and go home.

Watch your step

A combination of words and graphics can really get your message across. In this case, that message is "Look! My jazz hands are covered in olive oil! Hooray!"

Now, go grab a camera and send me your favorite WTF examples. They might be featured in an upcoming edition of WTF Wednesday!

Oh, I know! Let’s use the comments to guess all the things wrong with the first sign.

I’ll start: no alignment what-so-ever.

I’m not sure what kind of promotional would induce me to “buy 2″ beers, while only “getting 1″, but sure, I’ll bite.

Oh, I’m so going to send you pictures. I make no guarantees about their appropriateness.

Lani- I think I’ve made it perfectly clear about how I feel about appropriateness.
