It's amazing just how ignorant people can be with respect to "audience" and "purpose" (I mean, designing a pink sign for the female target audience and a blue sign for the male target audience? They could have gone with a more neutral color such as green, but that would be lost in the surrounding shrubbery, no doubt). Anyway, fantastic example of just how technical communication can go so terribly wrong. I don't blame the poor designer for banging his head on his desk.

In fact the final stop sign looks remarkably like the final design for our latest advertisement in terms of color and layout. Now that's a real downer.
