Abstract

The winter 2024 issue of the Interdisciplinary Journal of Signage and Wayfinding
explores the role of signs within a specific moment in time, physical space, and cultural
context. The authors provide three unique perspectives on how signs activate space
through human cognition. Signs can prompt the nostalgia of an historic hotel neon
sign on Route 66, increase driver safety with highway dynamic signs using creative
messaging, or social solidarity through protest graphics.
