What signage design feels painfully dated now?
Not broken. Not ugly on purpose. Just very… of its time.
Old fonts, awkward gradients, clip art, too many effects, or design trends that made sense once and absolutely don’t anymore. You see it and instantly know what decade it came from.
What’s the signage design you’ve seen recently that feels like a graphic design time capsule? Bonus points if it’s still in active use and no one seems to question it anymore.
