Re: New signs on 30A designating communities [title changed]
There was an uproar when similarly garish new signs were installed by our hometown Park District. The solution was to repaint the outer portions/backs of the signs a neutral, natural, soothing taupe/brown color.
When the signs blended into the landscape a little more, they became acceptable to most, at much less cost than full replacement. Maybe that can happen with these signs.

Who said anything about Bay and Okaloosa County? I thought we were unique, who's comparing? What, so we have to keep up with the Jones? Sorry, I'm not accustomed to the compare thing, don't do it myself. I live by what I feel is right for me, I really don't care what someone else is doing, in regards to keeping up with them. I think we need to evaluate what is good for our citizens welfare, not try to out do some other county.

Until I saw John R's photo of the signs, I never saw how big and blank the back of the signs appear. :shock:

They really are an eyesore. I cringe every time I see one!

Garish & jarring to the senses.

I'm okay with the basic stream-line style, but I think they are too large, and question the color choice of Whatever Blue. They do remind me of signs for bus stops that would have maybe 10 directional signs within the one large sign. To have ordinances limiting signs, I think the signs are an example of the gov't not having to follow its own laws. Reduce the size and change the color.
Congratulations on your first poll posting, Punzy.

They remind me of a sign in front of a ride at a Theme Park or in front of a park district pool. I am bummed that this is what was chosen. Mainly the size is the problem for me...
Hopefully we will get used to them over time like a couch in a small room that seems overwhelming at first...
Time will tell...

Are they not the same design/color that is at each public beach access along 30-A? Looks like they were just trying to keep some unity.

Those signs are hideous! I loved the previous wooden signs.... they looked
more in sync with the area. The blue color is blinding and they are too large.
They should have at least went with GREEN... Especially, with this day and
age....recycling...green....Scenic 30-A...... The green would have blended
in more with the roads, bike paths & surrounding signs.... The wooden signs
looked just right and traditional for the area corridor of Scenic 30-A....
old beach style... If new signs were in order, they should have consulted
the locals and given their opinion to what might have looked best...
