This is an award winning example. Compared to traditional “flat” text, the distorted text is certainly striking, looks more three-dimensional, and since it’s drawn on top of objects that would normally obscure signage it’s larger. But it can only be seen correctly from a few angles.

This example from 1939 looks a little confusing — more like a POTS sign then a STOP sign.

A collection of warning signs. Some are quite funny; my favorite so far.

There’s also a book (unrelated to the flickr group), but disappointingly it does not give bibliographical information on where the signs came from.
