    These look rubbish. Would you even be bother reading them in fairness?
    A nice simple clean cut design would have worked. Lots of tiny indistinct writing.

    I haven't noticed them. Must take a look later. What I can't get over are the new(ish) street signs, Rose Inn Street is one place where they have them. They look temporary and tacky.

    Agreed. They're horrible. Weird maroon and white colour as well.

    They're really not obvious. Most people have not even noticed them.

    For a medieval town the signs are very modern

    It's not that they look too modern. It's that they do not look very appealing or are all that clear.

    Yeah, they're sh!te.

    My first thought was, 'Why are they in the Galway colours?'.

    Then I thought it must be the 'Boro colours (where I live) and maybe they were green and white in O'Loughlins etc, but no, they're just sh!te. Bizarre colour choice. They do look temporary, no class about them at all.

    Was a golden oppurtunity to get it right and properly sign the city centre and the main attractions in consistent manner. Instead they went off the wall and did something they thought would be different or unique but it's backfired big time.
    They are just ineffective. What we all want a sign to do is be clear and point us in the right direction. Those slab things don't do this.
