There have been occasions when I’ve seen “Stop” messages that I’ve already photographed. I pass these by, deciding that I would rather find new and unique messages rather than find all examples of every old variety.
But this sign caught my attention. Even though I’ve already posted about Stop It and Stop, Collaborate and Listen, this sign tells a bit more of a complicated story.
Clearly, someone had already come along to spray paint the giant “I” and giant “T” underneath the “Stop.”
Then, someone else came along with their Glarkware packet and said “Whoa, now. ‘Stop It’ is pretty clever. I’ll give you that. But I’ve got a sticker here that will Blow. Your. Mind.”

If you see any stop signs like these in your travels, feel free to take a picture and send them to eric@sabudesign.com. I’ll happily include them in a post here. If possible, make the pictures as large as possible (I’ll take responsibility for setting the right size and framing), and let me know the city and street crossing you took the picture at.
