Did anybody else get a Signs 365 surprise?

[James Burke]

At first glance, I thought FedEx had delivered a double set of large pizzas. But wowzers, was I ever surprised.

I'm sure they spent a shiny dime (or two) sending all those out.

Yes, they are sending samples to customers. I had asked why I was getting a FedEx shipment from them yesterday.

 

[gnubler]

What'd I miss? No pizzas showed up here.
However, I did get some boxes of printed ACM signs and boy were they heavy. Couldn't even lift them on my table. I pity the FedEx drivers who have to wrangle with those every day.

Yes! I got one also. I'm not a fan of the design so I gave it to my customer for his "Patriot Building" he was so vry grateful and excited!

I thought it was a really nice gift!!!

What's not to like? Asking for a friend.

You couldn't find a spot for the DOI...

You couldn't find a spot for the DOI...

Back in the early 70s, the Exchange Club placed "Freedom Shrines" in many of the public schools. Does anybody remember them? It was essentially a collage of the DOI, Constitution and many of the early supporting documents of our government.

Sadly, they're being tossed out in light of the current political climate. But even if the Freedom Shrines stayed, (practically) NO kid in public school today could read them...they're all written in cursive.

You can bet I'm hanging this where all my clients can see it.

I received one (Declaration of Independence) also. Will wrap it up and give it to some non binary democrat.

They would try to wipe their ass with the declaration of independence... The republicans try to wrap themselves with it like a blanket. That acrylic breaks off in sharp pieces when bent to far....

 

[unclebun]

Yeah, I got one a week ago. Haven't had time to open it yet. I guess it's an acrylic sign, based on the box.

 

[Boudica]

Someone post a picture! Not all of us received this Signs 365 Surprise

Ignorance is already bad enough. Let's hope AI doesn't further complicate things.

Written in cursive, can't read it.

We received one of those today. It seems pretty nice. I'm not sure where in the shop we'll install it. The top and bottom portions of the image look pretty authentic, but the central block of text was re-written in what looks like the Snell Roundhand typeface.

Maybe they had an AI bot re-write it. Have you read it closely and compared the content (not the font) to the original?

I could find room but my friend is a Veteran and has "The Patriot Building" which rents office and conference rooms out. He serves local Veterans and the entire thing is decorated with this kind of thing. He was extremely appreciative of it. Most of those signs aren't getting hung up. Mine is already proudly displayed for all the Veterans to see it.

Don't worry, I'm not one of those anti-America weirdos. Quite the opposite...lol

I hadn't gone quite that far, but the word "Brittish" in the text caught my eye. I could immediately tell the main block of copy was Snell and not hand written.

 

[Johnny Best]

That Signs101 Declaration is not the original look.
The original was hand written by Timothy Matlack. But like some people, we know would not be able to read it, this has been typeset. Saw the real one in Washington DC when I was about 10 years old Under glass.
