Interesting Outdoor signs (Oct. 3)

Of course every American knows about the most unique and interesting display of outdoor signage, Times Square in NYC. But there are many other interestning outdoor advertisements.

One billboard sign, in particular, that I have noticed is the Dole fruit juice billboards. There are two on the stretch of Interstate 85, between Charlotte and Greensboro. Every time I drive past them, I get excited. They are full of pictures of bright, shiny, delicious-looking fruits. It is an eye-catching and unique billboard. The billboard is definitely one of my favorites.

Another unique billboard and outdoor signage display I am interested in are the I-pod/I-tunes signs and billboards. They are unique in the fact that they get the point across in a simple way. The signs usually include a computer-generated image of a person wearing an i-pod who is dancing or "jamming". I enjoy the simplicity of the ads and also they make me think of when I have seen i-pod tv commercials and the songs that they play on the ads come to my mind. It's just a really cool way of advertsing, in my opinion.
