Pentagram Redesigns NYC's Parking Signs Into Twitter-Size Bites

New York City hired design firm Pentagram to create new parking signs. That seems appropriate, as the pentagram is the sign of the devil, and parking in Manhattan can be sheer hell. The 6,300 new signs deliver information in 140 characters or less, roughly half the verbiage of the old signs. Good idea, because squinting at signs longer than a tweet can get you rear-ended in midtown. Using the Interstate typeface, information is displayed in green and red sections, for passenger vehicles and commercial transport, respectively.
