"Rallentare: zombie in carreggiata!", lampeggiava un'insegna su un viadotto di Austin. Appurata l'assenza di morti viventi, la polizia texana ha scoperto che la colpa era di un hacker, ultimo di una serie di creativi della segnaletica. Come gli attivisti che ricavano trompe l'oeil dalle strisce pedonali di Montreal. Segnali appunto di quotidiano design come quelli di 1000 Signs della TASCHEN un libro con foto di cartelli dal mondo, dall'"attraversamento di koala" di Sydney a un ineffabile stop su una strada del Sahara."Flair, MilanoItaly |

"Catalogo per forza di cose incompleto ma divertente di segnaletica stradale e pubblica, con particolare attenzione ad alcune tipologie, Signs della serie Colors Taschen è un modo originale, anche, di percepire, comprendere, riflettere e superare le differenze culturali. Il divieto di fumo varia da paese a paese, i bambini si differenziano per i dettagli. Le icone sono fatte per essere capite da chiunque a qualunque latitudine. Che sia la segnaletica stradale il linguaggio universale?"Il sole 24ore, MilanoItaly |

"There are only so many ways to say stop—or so it would appear—and yet the perils of fauna are seemingly infinite, from unbearably cute yet savage turtles, to the seeming need to belabor with an axe the crocodile one has recently lured with a bone, while neighborhood snakes rise up in wonder. Thrilling stuff indeed. So we urge you, dear reader, to Buy This Book! And for pity`s sake: Don`t Pet the Elephant!"The Fader, New YorkUnited States |

Ranging from blatant commercial gimmicks to limited edition collector's items via weird anomolies and art projects, this is the ultimate selection of Extraordinary Records. |
