Mathieu Tremblin, an artist known for his creative street art installations, tackled the tagged walls in France with the goal of making graffiti legible.  He first painted over the existing tags, then replicated each based on the scale and colour of the original. http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2016/07/street-artist-paints-over-ugly-graffiti-to-make-it-legible/

The importance of sticking to sign standards

7/12/2016

The city of Bremerton, Washington was proud of their downtown revitalization. A dark blue colour was used on many items to indicate the Bremerton 'brand.' For consistency, the city updated the colour of the parking signs to dark blue with white lettering. That's when people started complaining that they hadn't noticed the signs which lead to them receiving parking tickets.  They argued that the parking signs actually federal laws since they used different colours than the standard across the rest of the country. A judge agreed which cleared the way for a class-action lawsuit which could include anyone who got a parking ticket in the city dating back to 2012.

Recent studies by Cornell and Ohio State Universities found that when banners of veggie superheros were added to school cafeteria salad bars, kids increased their vegetable consumption. Well designed and positioned banners along with other marketing elements directly impacted the children's choices in healthier options. More about the studies from the Globe and Mail and the Sprowtz websites.
