So the airlines do it, transit wrap abounds, so it's all OK? Right? It's all graffiti. Well done, poorly done, it's childish no matter how we all sit and try to figure some whack-a-do numbers on visibility. For years people go to Europe and the rest of the world and come home saying how beautiful these places are. Then they look around and see the mass, garish horror that has become our national visual heritage. Next, they look at their own business and say, "Let's make this thing look like it came out of London." So they decide to have their signs made in England. They have the balls to tell the English sign pinter how to make a sign, despite the fact the business man has no graphic sense what-so-ever, and the English sign guy has been doing it for years, in an age-old manner. Right there the sign is now a lousey confection. It arrives at the businessman's place and everyone looks at it. Then someone chimes in,"My daughter is taking art lessons, she can fix it." It saddens me deeply that this culture we live in just can't distinguish garish, child-like visiuals from anything once known as classic. Yes...a lot of eyes see the stuff. They see it at the airports, they see it at grade crossings, they see it in their sleep. That's the problem. Visitors from overseas see it. Of course there'll come a time when the engine in question has a grade crossing collision with a red Tundra and the story and related pix will be troubling. Mitch
