Precarious masquerading as sturdy was what I was going for in this sign tower. I would use a similar grid pattern years later in Mammoth Mine Entrance. The business itself— if an underlying establishment is what the sign advertises— is not only dwarfed by its sign, but not visible at all from this angle. Or is it a sign signifying nothing?
