I wish I could meet the creator of this sign. He seems to be working off a neat combo of inspirations, including the look of the Plutonian Oglethorpe from Aqua Teen Hunger Force:
and the typographical style of Barbara Kruger:
I have to admit, though, the sign does not inspire confidence. It's just a bit too much of a hard sell, right? And as fun as it is, it is not exactly well executed. Note the 2 different shades of yellow -- the text's background a bit more greenish, for some reason, than the background field of yellow. Maybe there was some different text on the sign before that's been painted over? Also, I don't exactly understand what "FINAL PHASE!" means (?). Final phase of what? Can't be "construction" -- the building looks to have been built several years ago. Maybe just "renting" or "selling"? It's clear that the "final" part is supposed to be hurrying me, yet I just don't feel the time pressure on this one. And honestly, if I were even considering renting one of these condos, I think I would delay in order to prolong this awesome sign's adornment of my neighborhood.
