Forrest Gump didn’t really create the yellow smiley face we’ve come to know and love. Nope. It was Harvey R. Ball, an owner of an advertising and public relations firm in Massachusetts. Still, these signs around The First Pass Under Heaven have a Gump-like philosophy to them. These are just a few of them…and sure, they’re not all yellow. But a green or pink smiley face can be cheerful, too. (Click on the thumbnails below to see the full-size images)
love, love, love these signs. at least the english appears to be correct. make sure to take any pictures of ENGRISH if you see any. I just remember how funny all the t-shirts and signs were in japan. my favorite was the guy who wore a shirt that said PAPER. ha.
sounds like you’re getting some good experiences in and out of the city. that’s awesome.
Yeah, there is definitely some Engrish…will have to start taking photos of that soon, too! I may buy myself an Engrish shirt, though, too…just for a fun keepsake.
