Custom Signs New York

Do you know what is a sign? Sure, there are several possible definitions. There are signs of the zodiac, traffic signs, signboards, linguistic signs. More types of signs than you could possibly shake a stick at; but all the while, there’s something that all signs have in common: they all convey an idea or thought which is rather distinct from the object that’s used to convey such sign. Well, in other words, a sign is something with an arbitrary and extrinsic meaning. Get it? In a way, signs are similar to icons – as in computer icons. The major difference is that icons convey a meaning that is intrinsic to the object used to express that meaning. I could go on an endless rant here, but I’m sure that linguistics isn’t one of the favored topics as far as the average audience to this blog is concerned. However, here’s something that you might find interesting. I’ve found a company in New York that’s all about sign printing – all types of signs you may fancy or require. Yep, custom signs New York will keep you covered for all your non-linguistic sign requirements, so cheers to that! If you’re wondering about the other type of signs, the best I can say is… better take up a course on semiotics.
