35 Funniest Signs Designs That Failed To Grasp The Basics Of Typography

A good sign should deliver a clear message without making you squint, tilt your head, or question reality. But not all signs manage that, do they?

Someone had to design these, and in some cases, that someone either wasn’t qualified, didn’t care, or was just having a weird day. I’m not saying I blame them for doing the bare minimum, but if the sign is about safety, you’d hope they’d at least proofread it.

What makes it even better is that someone else looked at these design disasters and still approved them.

Luckily for us, their mess-ups are hilarious. These funny sign fails gave us something to laugh about today. Stay safe out there, and maybe don’t trust every sign you see.
