I used to make blackboard signs for my old coffee shop gig, and it was easily the best part of the job. I got paid to sit down and use chalk paint pens and doodle little doodles. Watching my signs get peoples’ attention on the street was kind of a thrill. Yes, come get the new matcha because of my adorable drawing! Thank you for your patronage!

Signs are a vital component of businesses of all kinds. It’s how you communicate to the public without speaking. The fonts you choose, the colors, the copy, these are all high-level decisions with endless ramifications. That’s why when sign-makers take risks, they can pay off hilariously. Not to mention the DIY signs folks make up that get a hoot and a holler out of me. That’s why I put together this list of the funniest and weirdest signs from around the internet, in one place for your viewing pleasure.
