Unique Signs and Buildings from Around the World

As a Sign Company, National Sign Team often finds ourselves talking about project management, design, the latest products, permitting processes, and everything signs. While these topics are our bread and butter, even we admit it can get a tad repetitive for our loyal clients and customers.


That's why today, we're taking a detour from our usual discussions to embark on a visual journey across the globe. We're showcasing some of the most unique signs and buildings that stand as testaments to human creativity and engineering. These wonders not only capture our imagination but also inspire us to think outside the box in our projects.

The Dancing House, Prague

A Twist on Architecture



Nestled in the heart of Prague, the Dancing House takes you by surprise with its non-conventional design. Its twisting and contorted structure is a vivid representation of dynamic movement, almost as if the building itself is swaying to a gentle breeze. This architectural marvel stands out as a beacon of modern design amidst the city's historical backdrop, reminding us of the endless possibilities in architectural creativity.

The Basket Building, Ohio

Where Form Meets Function



The Longaberger Company's headquarters in Newark, Ohio, is a striking example of novelty architecture. Shaped like a giant basket, complete with handles, this building pushes the boundaries of traditional office spaces. It's a bold statement on branding and a perfect example of how a company can embody its products in its physical presence, encouraging businesses to dream big and bold.

The Kelpies, Scotland

Monuments to Mythical Beauty


The Kelpies in Falkirk, Scotland, are two 30-meter-high horse head sculptures that pay homage to the country's mythological creatures. These towering structures are not only an engineering feat but also a symbol of Scotland's cultural heritage. They remind us of the power of public art to evoke emotion and connect communities to their folklore.

Times Square's digital billboards are a far cry from the conventional signboards. They are a dazzling display of modern technology and creativity, showcasing the heights that advertising can reach. The bright lights and dynamic visuals offer an immersive experience, highlighting the evolution of signage from mere information carriers to works of art.
