I love Sonic Drive-ins! My family and I just recently stopped at one in Columbia, MO for a quick lunch on our road trip to St. Louis, and I couldn't help but notice this sign on there menu board. The top of the sign has a slit to change out the pictures - pull one promotion out, and slide the next one in. For some reason several crickets were attracted to this sign and managed to jump down into the slot. Unfortunately, that made for a very unappetizing poster.
Wash Hands

That law that mandates these signs is silly enough, but what does this restaurant mean by putting quotes around the words "wash hands"? We don't really mean wash hands?
Here is an example of a job with good content but poor execution. The outlets in this room at the Westin Copley Place were on the side of the desk, which made them very convenient to use, but also very difficult to find. I'm guessing the hotel got a lot of calls asking about the outlets, because this sign explaining where to find them was placed under the glass on the top of the table.
The problem with this solution is that you rarely look on top of the desk when you're looking for an outlet. The sign would be better if it was mounted on the wall where an outlet would normally be. Choosing the right delivery method is just as important as the quality of the content.
