One Letter Off by Ben Yamiin, SNORLAX, Jeremy Cezanne, Kushiel's Servant
October 23rd, 2008 4:10 AMPAGE --> RAGE
ONE WAY --> ONE LAY
for some reason i had a one way sign lying around
we installed it next to a "massage" parlor. the man in the pictures would not leave us alone. ben wanted to tear his head off. within seconds of putting it up a few people nearby started taking pictures with their cell phones. The owner(?) came out (probably alarmed by a small burst of camera flashes) and gave us a mean look.
CAUTION ICE ON WALKWAY
the U was already gone. ben was handcuffed to the sign.
PLEASE MOVE BACK
these signs are found on sf public transit. a tribute to impossible exchange
24 HOUR TOW
such signs are common in SF where parking is often scarce.
SPEED LIMIT 65
drive-by shot:
BONUS SIGN
this isn't a valid entry for this task. we changed more than one letter on this sign. but we include it since it was inspired by this task
NO PARKING --> NO PORKING
we are patriotic

This is beautiful.
My favorite is "24-hour town" (and, of course, the SF0 sign.)
oh yay. I've been waiting for someone to 0 a sign!
if i had points to give i'd give them. i love the return of please love back.
whoa... when the crap did i get more points??
hooray! you may have some.
holy shit! I got a bunch of points too...
you may have some as well.
At some point during the past week, the puppetmasters infused us each with 20 additional vote points. The squeaky wheel gets the grease, apparently. ;-) I can't find where it was that the 20 extra points were announced, but I remember seeing the announcement.
giggly at work...
i'd seen the "rage" somewhat frequently lately and thought it was just another random bit of SF "creative graffiti"--BUT NO! it was sf0, clearly.
also, i love "no porking."
Max points because your signage is just so clever!
I have been searching for my one-letter-off opportunity for awhile now. I'm not sure if the signs here suck or I'm just not bright enough to see their potential.
What would be really cool is to be able to change one letter of an arabic sign and have it be interesting, but then only Ben and I would get it. ;)
For chrissakes, do it! doitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoitdoit! افعليه افعليه افعليه افعليه!
soo good! "please love back" is excellent.
these are very well thought out and very well executed.
