With that said, we present to you an admiration society for a curiosity of a concept that we’ve already discussed numerous times, but can’t get enough of—and that is signs. The Sign Appreciation Society collects and shares all manner of signage for the internet to enjoy. Scroll on to see the best of the best signs appreciated in the group as well as our chat with the society’s founder. The group isn’t even a year old and already it has a bit over 200,000 members—actually surpassed this threshold in the last week—who bring in around 50 new posts a day with 2,000 just in the last month. “The group is for the appreciation of signs. Seeing them in another way,” elaborated the founder. “Some signs are inherently intended to be amusing, such as, Warning: Do not enter unless you can cross this field in 9 seconds. The bull can do it in 10.” “Others are just signs that people get a chuckle out of by not taking it literally or seriously, such as the warning notice on Ramganga River, posted by Peter Waanders, it had a 1.2m reach (2.9k shares, 380 comments, and 14k likes), the sign was simply about not swimming in a river with crocodiles but members found humor in it by thinking and looking at it from another perspective.” The group’s biggest hit was a coffee shop sign that invited people inside because, outside, there were raptors. The reach on that one was 7.6M with 226,000 likes. “Although SAS is not a comedy group, it is for fun, but not all signs need to be funny, we have historical and interesting signs and signs that some people appreciate for the sign in itself,” noted the founder. All the more reason to join the group and appreciate some signs. And if not, hey, the comment section is always there for your takes, stories and whatever else you feel like sharing!
