Why use a funny sign?

Michael Jordan said you miss 100% of the shots that you don’t take. That is debatable. But, what is for sure true is that a sign that goes unread is a completely useless sign. Using humor in a sign is an effective way to draw attention to it.

Drawing Attention

Drawing attention is the first and probably the most important step in getting the message of any sign across. Humor is a great way to draw attention before delivering the message.

Signs for Man Caves and Gifts

Humorous signs make great features for man caves. They are not reserved for man caves alone. Barns, garages, work stations and general work areas are all uplifted with a funny sign. In addition, a humorous sign makes a great gift. Whether it is for a pet lover or a garden lover, there is a whole lot of variety and a great amount of enjoyment when it comes to funny and humorous signs.

Using the correct fonts and coloring in funny safety signs

When using a funny sign to deliver a message, it is important to focus on font and coloring to ensure that the intended message is not lost in the humor. Using classic red and white coloring and classic fonts in a funny “no trespassing” sign will ensure that the reader still understands that there is a serious message that the sign is requesting adherence to.

At times, the messaging of a humorous is purely for humor purposes. Using the highly identifiable safety color signs, like yellow, black, green and white draw in the attention of the reader and add to the humor.

Humor to convey certain messages in safety signs

It is obvious that humor is not the right vehicle for every message that is placed on a sign. Matters of severe safety importance ought to be delivered with a direct and to the point messaging.

A good example for this would be when it comes to spelling out rules for a pool and signs that give over the emergency response numbers. However, when it comes to rules with regard to urinating in the pool, it may be more comfortable to give over the necessary and important message with humor. It takes away from the awkwardness and still gets the point across.
